Objectives: The All of Us (AoU) Research Program is a national-scale effort to build a dataset to help transform the future of health research by equipping researchers with comprehensive health data from diverse populations, especially those underrepresented in biomedical research. Our objectives were to evaluate the burden of HIV and major depressive disorder (MDD) in underrepresented groups and the frequency of the HIV/MDD comorbidity.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis combining collected survey and electronic health record (EHR) data.
The sport presents an opportunity for young people to experience the joys of success and cope with setbacks to develop resilient behaviors. However, there is a lack of clarity about how sport can cultivate resilience, particularly among adolescent girls. This study investigated the psychometric properties of Farsi version of the Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) and its role in predicting aggression in Iranian athletic adolescent girls.

- The systematic review focuses on understanding attitudes and barriers related to preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and treatment as prevention (TasP) among transgender women and racial/ethnic-minority men who have sex with men (MSM), who are significantly impacted by HIV.
- The review analyzed studies published between 2010 and 2019, identifying themes such as lack of awareness about PrEP and TasP, structural barriers to access, and stigma that adversely affect attitudes towards these prevention methods.
- Despite some increase in PrEP use among at-risk individuals, misunderstanding of key concepts like "undetectable" and skepticism about TasP evidence hinder broader acceptance and could impede progress toward reducing HIV transmissions.
