Advanced practice providers in the medical genetics workforce: A nationwide survey.

Purpose: This study characterizes the current landscape of genetics advanced practice providers (APPs) in the United States.

Methods: A 35-question survey was emailed to the Genetics APP Listserv in the fall of 2023. Questions represented 5 domains: demographics, practice, onboarding, compensation, and perceptions.

Behavioral interventions and behavior change techniques used to improve sleep outcomes in athlete populations: A scoping review.

Background: Athletes display a high prevalence of undesired sleep characteristics that may affect both performance and wellbeing.

Objectives: This scoping review aimed to identify and map the existing evidence of behavioral sleep interventions and their effects on sleep outcomes in athletes, and retrospectively code the behavior change techniques (BCTs) implemented using the Behavior Change Technique Taxonomy (BCTTv1).

Methods: Conducted following the JBI methodology for scoping reviews, four online databases were used to identify prospective interventions with at least one behavioral component in competitive athletes, and reporting a sleep outcome pre- and post-intervention.

The National Sleep Research Resource: making data findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable and promoting sleep science.

This paper presents a comprehensive overview of the National Sleep Research Resource (NSRR), a National Heart Lung and Blood Institute-supported repository developed to share data from clinical studies focused on the evaluation of sleep disorders. The NSRR addresses challenges presented by the heterogeneity of sleep-related data, leveraging innovative strategies to optimize the quality and accessibility of available datasets. It provides authorized users with secure centralized access to a large quantity of sleep-related data including polysomnography, actigraphy, demographics, patient-reported outcomes, and other data.

Acculturation and Health Status in the Children's Healthy Living Program in the Pacific Region.

Acculturation/enculturation has been found to impact childhood health and obesity status. The objective of this study is to use cross-sectional data to examine the association between proxies of adult/caregiver acculturation/enculturation and child health status (Body Mass Index [BMI], waist circumference [WC], and acanthosis nigricans [AN]) in the U.S.

Gentrification drives patterns of alpha and beta diversity in cities.

While there is increasing recognition that social processes in cities like gentrification have ecological consequences, we lack nuanced understanding of the ways gentrification affects urban biodiversity. We analyzed a large camera trap dataset of mammals (>500 g) to evaluate how gentrification impacts species richness and community composition across 23 US cities. After controlling for the negative effect of impervious cover, gentrified parts of cities had the highest mammal species richness.
