Validation of the Contraception-Focused Preference-Aligned Fertility Management Index in Uganda and Nigeria.

Objective: To evaluate construct validity of the contraception-focused "Preference-aligned Fertility Management" (PFM) Index, a new person-centered and rights-based outcome measure, in Nigeria and Uganda.

Study Design: We analyzed survey data from convenience samples of new users of contraception and non-users of contraception in Uganda and users of contraception in Nigeria. PFM Index scores were calculated by combining two indicators: Indicator 1 assessing alignment between desire to use contraception and actual use; Indicator 2 evaluating whether users' current methods are desired.

A Demographic Description of Children and Adolescents With Concomitant Autism and Anxiety Along With a Comparison of Receipt of Psychological Services.

Objective: (1) Evaluate differences in demographic distributions between those with autism alone and those with autism concomitant with anxiety and (2) assess demographic factors associated with receipt of psychological therapy in patients with autism.

Methods: Using deidentified health care claims data, we extracted all encounters among children with the International Classification of Diseases-10-CM for Autism Spectrum Disorder (F84) and flagged those with concomitant anxiety (F41.9).

A Novel Training Modality for Providers in the Emergency Department Using a Computer-Based Scenario: A Pilot Study.

Background: Individuals with substance use disorders (SUD) are increasingly admitted in emergency departments (EDs) nationwide. However, ED providers often have limited knowledge about and lack confidence in treating SUDs. This limited knowledge often results in poor treatment outcomes among patients with SUD in the ED setting.

Primary Pulmonary Choriocarcinoma With Lymph Node Metastasis: A Case Report and Brief Review.

Choriocarcinoma is a malignant germ cell tumor containing syncytiotrophoblasts and secreting human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG), often associated with a poor prognosis. Reports of primary choriocarcinoma of the lung with lymph node metastasis are extremely rare in the literature. Here, we report a surgically treated case of primary pulmonary choriocarcinoma in a 32-year-old woman.

Women's Perspectives on the Unique Benefits and Challenges of Self-Injectable Contraception: A Four-Country In-Depth Interview Study in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Implementing self-injection (SI) of subcutaneous depot-medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA-SC) is a key self-care strategy for sexual and reproductive health, but SI uptake remains low, and assertions about the potential of SI to increase women's control over contraceptive use lack evidence. We sought to qualitatively explore how women with diverse contraceptive experiences-including those with and without experience using SI-view the benefits and challenges of SI as compared to other methods. We conducted 241 in-depth interviews with women across four sub-Saharan African countries and found alignment between the perceived and experienced benefits of SI across our diverse sample.
