A cross-sectional study was conducted to determine preventive-health-activity engagement in community-dwelling older adults participating in student-led health screenings in east Alabama. From 2017-2019, health professions students conducted health screenings at 23 community and independent living sites to assess medical and social needs of adults. Clients' responses to questions regarding vaccinations (flu/pneumonia/shingles), cancer screenings (colon/sex-specific), and other (dental/vision) screenings were aggregated to create a preventive health behavior (prevmed) score.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores how adolescent romantic intimacy and identity formation develop simultaneously, using a sample of 2,178 middle adolescents.
- Findings indicate that different identity styles directly relate to identity commitment, while attachment anxiety has only indirect effects, and attachment avoidance shows both direct and indirect effects.
- Gender, race, and relationship status do not significantly impact the associations, but adolescents' relationship experiences influence the relationship between identity exploration and romantic attachment.
