This paper outlines the development of standardized scenarios used to assess the efficacy of Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training in a randomized, controlled trial. The objective was to create scenarios that accurately simulate mental health crisis situations for law enforcement officers, ensuring that each scenario tests specific CIT skills relevant to real-world encounters. Our process involved building an interdisciplinary team and drawing from the knowledge and experience of professionals in law enforcement, mental health, and performance arts to design a set of scenarios that are both realistic and challenging.

- Ferroptosis is a form of cell death linked to iron and lipid damage, showing potential for cancer treatment, particularly involving lipid peroxidation of specific fatty acids.
- GPX4 normally prevents ferroptosis by converting harmful lipid hydroperoxides into less harmful forms, making it a potential drug target whose sensitivity is not well understood.
- Research indicates that cancer cells cultured in 3D conditions produce fewer polyunsaturated fatty acids and more monounsaturated fatty acids, which can help them resist ferroptosis and reduce the effectiveness of GPX4 inhibitors.
Objective: To qualitatively evaluate the acceptability and end-user perspectives of a 3-component Fresh Produce and Healthy Eating intervention seeking to increase fruit and vegetable consumption among individuals with serious mental illnesses (SMI) in residential settings.
Methods: Twenty-seven interviews were conducted with housing residents with SMI, curriculum instructors, agency leadership, and mobile market staff. Interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis.
Background: The weight-normative approach to nutrition education dominates health education programming across the United States, despite evidence that this paradigm contributes to negative outcomes including weight cycling, bias and stigma, the development of disordered eating behaviors, and weight-based bullying.
Methods: This study investigates perspectives of 10 potential partners with interest in and potential to influence nutrition education. Through qualitative interviews and document analysis, researchers explored support for a weight-inclusive curriculum and factors that influence high school nutrition curricular content and implementation.
