Background: Opioids are a common and essential treatment for acute sickle cell disease (SCD) pain. However, opioids carry well-known adverse side effects, including potential development of hyperalgesia and nociplastic pain. We characterized opioid use in youth with SCD using ecological momentary assessment (EMA) data, and investigated the relationships between home-based opioid use, pain, and a range of biopsychosocial factors.

To develop empirically supported interventions to reduce the impact of ACES, we need to have a strong empirical base of research on modifiable protective factors that reduce the link between ACES and health outcomes. The current review is focused on assessing the state of the literature on modifiable protective factors on the ACE-health outcome relationship in adults.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of personal-level and group-level racial discrimination on the health of Black adolescents, using data from 186 participants who reported their experiences of discrimination, physical health, anxiety, and depression.
- Results show that higher personal-level discrimination is linked to worse physical and mental health, but awareness of high group-level discrimination may buffer against these negative effects.
- The findings support the idea that understanding and awareness of group-level discrimination can help protect Black adolescents from the detrimental health outcomes associated with personal-level discrimination, indicating a potential area for further research.
Article Synopsis
- * Data was collected from 179 adolescent-caregiver pairs, revealing significant effects of sleep issues and fatigue on mental health symptoms due to experiences of discrimination.
- * The findings suggest that family dynamics play a crucial role in addressing mental health in this context, indicating the need for family-focused interventions that consider the impact of racial discrimination.
