Introduction: Firearm injuries are a leading cause of death for youth/young-adults. We utilized latent class analysis to identify distinct motivational/behavioral patterns of firearm possession in a youth/young-adult emergency department sample to inform prevention strategies.
Methods: Cross-sectional data were obtained from surveys conducted among youth/young-adults (age = 16-29; n = 1311) seeking emergency department treatment (7/10/2017-6/25/2018).
Some genetic counselors (GCs) may find theories, models, and frameworks (TMFs) useful in clinical skills selection and when reflecting on or evaluating genetic counseling practice. This paper aims to demonstrate how TMFs can be used to postulate how different skills may impact patients'/clients' decisions, behaviors, and outcomes and consider how multiple TMFs can inform the use of various skills or strategies to achieve different goals. Additionally, we provide examples of TMFs that may help GCs in nonclinical aspects of their work, such as implementing and evaluating new interventions or service delivery models.

- The study examines how patient activation and self-efficacy impact the daily lives of individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
- Researchers surveyed 132 IBD patients using various assessment tools and found that both higher patient activation and self-efficacy correlate with a lower burden of IBD.
- The results suggest that self-efficacy plays a significant role in mediating the relationship between patient activation and the effects of IBD on patients' daily lives.
