Sociodemographic and behavioral factors associated with diet quality among low-income community health center patients with hypertension.

Objective: Identify the most important sociodemographic and behavioral factors related to the diet of low-income adults with hypertension in order to guide the development of a community health worker (CHW) healthy eating intervention for low-income populations with hypertension.

Design: In this cross-sectional analysis, dietary recalls were used to assess Healthy Eating Index-2020 (HEI-2020) total (range: 0 to 100 [best diet quality]) and component scores and sodium intake. Self-reported sociodemographic and behavioral data were entered into a Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression model to determine the relative importance of factors related to diet quality.

Bidirectional Associations of Adolescents' Momentary Social Media Use and Negative Emotions.

Unlabelled: Public discourse and empirical studies have predominantly focused on the negative repercussions of social media on adolescents' mental health. However, pervasive social media use is a relatively new phenomenon-its apparent harms have been widely accepted before sufficient longitudinal and experimental research has been conducted. The present study used an intensive longitudinal design (four assessments/day × 14 days;  = 154 12- to 15-year-olds (  = 13.

Perceived auditory dynamic range is enhanced with wrist-based tactile stimulation.

Tactile stimulation has been shown to increase auditory loudness judgments in listeners. This bias could be utilized to enhance perception for people with deficiencies in auditory intensity perception, such as cochlear implant users. However, several aspects of this enhancement remain uncertain.

Patient and Community Health Worker (CHW) Perspectives on a CHW-delivered Nutrition Intervention for Low-Income Adults with Hypertension: A Qualitative Study.

Introduction/objectives: Adults with food insecurity (FI) face barriers to hypertension management, including difficulty adhering to diet recommendations. Few community health worker (CHW) interventions focus on diet to improve blood pressure. This qualitative study elicited patient and CHW perspectives on healthy eating and a future CHW nutrition intervention for patients with hypertension.

Harder, better, faster, stronger? Dispersal in the Anthropocene.

The dispersal of organisms in the Anthropocene has been profoundly altered by human activities, with far-reaching consequences for humans, biodiversity, and ecosystems. Managing such dispersal effectively is critical to achieve the 2030 targets of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. Here, we bring together insights from invasion science, movement ecology, and conservation biology, and extend a widely used classification framework for the introduction pathways of alien species to encompass other forms of dispersal.
