Team science competencies across the career life course for translational science teams.

Introduction: Translational science (TS) teams develop and conduct translational research. Academic TS teams can be categorized under three constituency groups: trainees and faculty, clinical research professionals (CRP), and community partners. Our study objectives were to define individual and team competencies of these three constituency groups during their career life course and determine relative importance and the level of mastery of each of the competencies needed at different stages of their life course.

Profiles of polysubstance use among people reporting past 12-month sleep-motivated nonmedical use of prescription tranquilizers/sedatives.

Background And Objectives: Nonmedical use of prescription tranquilizers/sedatives (NMUPTS) is associated with a 15-times increased likelihood of polysubstance use (PSU). This is correlated with an increased risk for use disorders and death, therefore, to inform prevention efforts, we identified PSU profiles among adults reporting sleep-related NMUPTS.

Methods: National Survey on Drug Use and Health 2015-2019 participants with past 12-month sleep-related NMUPTS and use of an additional drug(s) (n = 2603) were studied.

Door-to-door Video-Enhanced Prevalence Study of Tourette Disorder Among African Americans.

Tourette syndrome (TS) affects about 0.5% of the population worldwide, but only sparse and conflicting data exist on TS prevalence among minority samples. Here we used VISIT-TS (a survey preceded by a short video showing tic phenomenology) and community outreach to provide estimates of tic disorder prevalence in African Americans.

Examining the relationship between proposed anti-LGBTQ+ legislation and LGBTQ+ college student mental health: findings from the Healthy Minds Study, 2021-2022.

This study aimed to investigate the association between proposed anti-LGBTQ+ legislation and depressive symptoms among LGBTQ+ college students. Participants ( = 72,135) included LGBTQ+ college students ( = 21,466) from over 530 colleges and universities, including technical and community institutions, across the United States who took part in the Healthy Minds Study (HMS). Data on proposed anti-LGBTQ+ legislation introduced in 2021-2022 were collected from all 50 US states, categorized, and analyzed.
