Experimental psychologists and psycholinguists increasingly turn to online research for data collection due to the ease of sampling many diverse participants in parallel. Online research has shown promising validity and consistency, but is it suitable for all paradigms? Specifically, is it reliable enough for individual differences research? The current paper reports performance on 15 tasks from a psycholinguistic individual differences battery, including timed and untimed assessments of linguistic abilities, as well as domain-general skills. From a demographically homogenous sample of young Dutch people, 149 participants participated in the lab study, and 515 participated online.

Beginning in 2015, states could apply for Section 1115 Medicaid waivers, which permit federal funding for Institutions for Mental Diseases services and require improvements in opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment.

- - The study examines the neurobehavioral functioning of neonates exposed to buprenorphine/naloxone during pregnancy, addressing the lack of research on the effects of this medication combination on infants.
- - Data was collected from mothers undergoing treatment for opioid use disorder, with the neonates assessed at three different points in their first month of life using the NICU Network Neurobehavioral Scale (NNNS).
- - Results highlighted various neurobehavioral domains affected in these infants and identified maternal factors, such as high rates of smoking and psychiatric disorders, that may impact neonatal development.
Importance: High emergency department (ED) pediatric readiness is associated with improved survival among children receiving emergency care, but state and national costs to reach high ED readiness and the resulting number of lives that may be saved are unknown.
Objective: To estimate the state and national annual costs of raising all EDs to high pediatric readiness and the resulting number of pediatric lives that may be saved each year.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This cohort study used data from EDs in 50 US states and the District of Columbia from 2012 through 2022.
