Article Synopsis
  • - The HEALing Communities Study (HCS) aimed to reduce opioid overdose deaths in 67 affected communities by implementing health campaigns focused on opioid use disorder (OUD), overdose prevention, and stigma reduction, developed with community input.
  • - Surveys conducted via Facebook/Instagram indicated that participants in HCS communities experienced reduced stigma related to OUD and improved beliefs about the efficacy of naloxone, though recognition of campaign messages was not significantly different from control communities.
  • - The study suggests a connection between recognizing campaign messages and achieving positive outcomes, but it also raises concerns about the effectiveness of traditional evaluation methods for social media health campaigns.

The [CpFe(CO)(CN)] unit is an excellent structural model for the Fe(CO)(CN) moiety of the active site found in [NiFe] hydrogenases. Ultrafast infrared (IR) pump-probe and 2D-IR spectroscopy have been used to study K[CpFe(CO)(CN)] () in a range of protic and polar solvents and as a dry film. Measurements of anharmonicity, intermode vibrational coupling strength, vibrational relaxation time, and solvation dynamics of the CO and CN stretching modes of in HO, DO, methanol, dimethyl sulfoxide, and acetonitrile reveal that H-bonding to the CN ligands plays an important role in defining the spectroscopic characteristics and relaxation dynamics of the Fe(CO)(CN) unit.
