Background: Young adults (ages 18-39 years) with cancer face unique risks for negative psychosocial outcomes. These risks could be lessened with positive psychology interventions adapted for social media if intervention messages encourage intentions to do the activities and positive message reactions and if young adults with cancer perceive few downsides.
Objective: This study aimed to assess whether social media messages from evidence-based positive psychology interventions encouraged intentions to do the intervention activities and intended positive message reactions, overall and among sociodemographic or cancer characteristic subgroups.

Creation of adolescent and young adult cancer programs serves to bridge this gap and improve quality of care for this population. We aimed to describe the evolution and impact of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Program.

- - The East Palestine, Ohio train derailment released toxic chemicals, vinyl chloride (VC) and butyl acrylate (BA), into the watershed, prompting a study of their degradation in water and sediment samples collected over time.
- - Analysis revealed that aerobic degradation biomarkers for VC were present in around 40% of sediment samples, indicating some natural breakdown of this toxic substance, particularly downstream from the accident site.
- - Microcosm experiments showed that both VC and BA were effectively degraded by local microbiomes, with recommendations offered to improve response strategies for similar environmental incidents in the future.
