Student concussion symptoms and tailored accommodations during use of a return to learn program in 13 public high schools.

Background: Youth concussion is common but there is a paucity of information on symptoms students report to school personnel and a gap in understanding what accommodations schools can provide.

Objective: To examine symptoms and provision of temporary accommodations in schools for students reporting concussion symptoms.

Design: Secondary data analysis of a trial implementing an evidence-based student-centered return to learn (RTL) program.

Effective Use of Interpreter Services for Diverse Patients in a Safety-Net Hospital: Provider Perceptions of Barriers and Solutions.

Introduction: Culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) patients should but do not routinely receive professional interpretation. The authors examined provider perceptions of barriers and solutions to interpreter services (IS) in a safety-net hospital to inform quality improvement (QI).

Methods: A 13-item survey was distributed to 750 clinicians representing 10 services across professional roles, including social workers.

Racial and Ethnic Differences in Time to Completion of Academic Enrichment Program Applications.

Introduction: Diversity in healthcare and research is integral to serving our increasingly diverse population. Access to academic enrichment programs, an important pathway to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers promotes educational attainment through academic preparation and increased interest, useful strategies for improving diverse representation in higher learning. Given this important pathway to STEM fields, attention to equity in enrichment programs admissions is as important as the increasing focus on mitigating racial/ethnic disparities in undergraduate and graduate admissions.

Return-to-learn after concussion in Washington state public high schools during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Aim: To understand academic support structures for Washington state public high school students with concussion during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Materials & Methods: Prospective, repeated cross-sectional study of 21 schools in 2020 and 2021.

Results: About 28% of schools reported not providing any return-to-learn (RTL) accommodations for students with concussion throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

Effect of RISE Bundle implementation on school adoption of a student-centered return-to-learn program in Washington state.

Background: Appropriate concussion care in school is vital for full recovery, but school return-to-learn (RTL) programs are lacking and vary in quality. Establishing student-centered RTL programs may reduce disparities in RTL care.

Objective: To examine the effect of RISE Bundle (Return to Learn Implementation Bundle for Schools) implementation on high school adoption of a student-centered RTL program.

Using a Community-Informed Translational Model to Prioritize Translational Benefits in Youth Concussion Return-to-Learn Programs.

Background: The Translational Science Benefit Model (TSBM) was developed to broadly capture systematic measures of health and societal benefits from scientific research, beyond traditional outcome measures. We aimed to develop a systematic process for the application of the TSBM and to then provide an example of a novel application of the TSBM to an ongoing Return-to-Learn (RTL) after youth concussion project involving partnerships with community stakeholders.

Methods: We invited investigators, project advisory board, and participants of the RTL project to participate in a modified Delphi process.

Prospective Associations between Childhood Exposure to Living with Adult Alcohol Misuse and Major Depressive Disorder in Adulthood: The Role of Child Maltreatment.

Background: Many children grow up with adult alcohol misuse in the home. A clearer understanding of this exposure's long-term mental health consequences and the role of associated child maltreatment experiences and potential protective factors could guide relevant intervention strategies.

Objective: To prospectively evaluate the association between living with adult alcohol misuse during childhood and major depressive disorder (MDD) during adulthood; whether child maltreatment explains the association; and whether sex, school bonding, or neighborhood bonding moderate the association.

Association of concussion with high school academic standing: sex, school grade and race as stratifiers.

Introduction: The purpose was to examine the association between concussion history and academic standing among high school students, and whether the association varies by sex, school grade and race/ethnicity.

Methods: Data from the 2019 Youth Risk Behaviour Survey were used for our cross-sectional study. Exposure was self-reported history of concussions in the past 12 months.

Association Between Consumption of Sugar-Sweetened Beverages and 100% Fruit Juice With Poor Mental Health Among US Adults in 11 US States and the District of Columbia.

Introduction: Excess sugar consumption is linked to several mental health conditions. Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) and 100% fruit juice contain similar amounts of sugar per serving, yet prior studies examining sugary beverages and mental health are limited to SSBs. Of those, few have assessed potential modifiers such as sex.
