Importance: The rise of high-potency opioids such as fentanyl makes buprenorphine initiation challenging due to the risks of precipitated withdrawal, prompting the exploration of strategies, such as low-dose initiation (LDI) of buprenorphine. However, no comparative studies on LDI outcomes exist.
Objective: To evaluate outpatient outcomes associated with 2 LDI protocols of buprenorphine among individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) using fentanyl.
Background And Objective: Poor executive functioning (EF) has been consistently linked to depression, but questions remain regarding mechanisms driving this association. The current study tested whether poor EF is linked to depression symptoms six weeks later via dependent stressors (model 1) and stressors perceived to be uncontrollable (model 2) at week two (W2) and repetitive negative thinking (RNT) at W4 during early COVID-19 in college students.
Design: This was a longitudinal study with four timepoints spanning six weeks (April-June 2020).
Introduction: Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias (ADRD) present significant health challenges. Understanding their underlying biology, advancing existing and new therapies, and enhancing care for patients and caregivers are critical priorities.
Methods: This article utilizes data from the International Alzheimer's and Related Dementias Research Portfolio (IADRP) to analyze funding patterns from the Alzheimer's Association over the past decade.

- Treatment for alcohol use disorder (AUD) is important for improving health outcomes in patients with alcohol-associated cirrhosis, yet it remains underutilized, especially among socioeconomically disadvantaged groups.
- A study of 196 diverse patients revealed that 67% had ever utilized AUD treatment, while only 32% accessed treatment in the last year; younger patients and those with worse mental health symptoms were more likely to seek treatment.
- Factors such as older age and better liver disease quality of life were associated with lower treatment utilization, while those with significant anxiety or depression tended to seek treatment more frequently.
