The intersection of community engagement and team science research: A scoping review.

Introduction: Integrating community expertise into scientific teams and research endeavors can holistically address complex health challenges and grand societal problems. An in-depth understanding of the integration of team science and community engagement principles is needed. The purpose of this scoping review was to identify how and where team science and community engagement approaches are being used simultaneously in research.

Discrepancies between pre-specified and reported primary outcomes: A cross-sectional analysis of randomized controlled trials in gastroenterology and hepatology journals.

Background: Previous research has raised concerns regarding inconsistencies between reported and pre-specified outcomes in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) across various biomedical disciplines. However, studies examining whether similar discrepancies exist in RCTs focusing on gastrointestinal and liver diseases are limited. This study aimed to assess the extent of discrepancies between registered and published primary outcomes in RCTs featured in journals specializing in gastroenterology and hepatology.

Don't forget to mind the mind: a prospective cohort study over 12 months on mental health symptoms in active professional male footballers.

Aims: We examined the prevalence and incidence of mental health symptoms (MHS) in active professional male footballers over a 12-month period and investigated if MHS was associated with severe injuries or surgeries.

Participants And Methods: Football Players Worldwide (FIFPRO) affiliated national unions invited active professional male football players to participate in the study. MHS was operationalised in symptoms of anxiety, disordered eating, depression, distress, sleep disturbance, alcohol misuse and drug misuse, all being assessed with validated questionnaires.

Pain, impairment, medication use and health-related quality of life of retired professional rugby players.

Background: Rugby is a physically demanding sport with a high injury rate.

Retired elite male rugby players experience physical and mental health conditions as well as varying levels of pain, negatively impacting their quality of life.
