Despite global agreement on its necessity, methods vary widely. In the Chilean context, a recent new accreditation criteria includes research productivity in relation to educational research on resident programs, so we aimed to define it.

- A recent study investigated the relationship between prescription amphetamines and the risk of developing psychosis or mania, finding that amphetamine use has increased in the U.S. over the past years.
- The research used case-control methods, comparing hospitalized patients with psychosis against those hospitalized for other psychiatric issues, and identified a significant link between higher doses of amphetamines and increased odds of these serious mental health outcomes.
- The findings highlight the need for cautious prescribing practices, particularly for high doses of amphetamines, along with ongoing monitoring for signs of psychosis or mania in patients.
In today's sociopolitical climate (e.g., erasure of history, increase in anti-Asian violence, repeal of affirmative action), the fragility of minoritized alliances has become more prominently exposed.

- - The study addresses the lack of data on eating disorder psychopathology among underrepresented groups by establishing norms for the Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire (EDE-Q) and Clinical Impairment Assessment (CIA) using a sample of 1,782 diverse Amazon MTurk workers.
- - Researchers created the Demographic Assessment of Racial, Sexual, and Gender Identities (DARSGI) to analyze various demographic factors, revealing that a significant portion of the sample identified with underrepresented racial, gender, and sexual identities.
- - Findings indicate that the EDE-Q scores for certain underrepresented identities are higher than previous norms, providing vital context for understanding eating disorders in these groups and potentially guiding future research and treatment approaches.
In this direct replication of Mueller and Oppenheimer's (2014) Study 1, participants watched a lecture while taking notes with a laptop ( = 74) or longhand ( = 68). After a brief distraction and without the opportunity to study, they took a quiz. As in the original study, laptop participants took notes containing more words spoken verbatim by the lecturer and more words overall than did longhand participants.
