"Having providers who are trained and have empathy is life-saving": Improving primary care communication through thematic analysis with ChatGPT and human expertise.

In the rapidly evolving field of healthcare research, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and conversational models like ChatGPT (Conversational Generative Pre-trained Transformer) offer promising tools for data analysis. The aim of this study was to: 1) apply ChatGPT methodology alongside human coding to analyze qualitative health services feedback, and 2) examine healthcare experiences among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) patients ( = 41) to inform future intervention. The hybrid approach facilitated the identification of themes related to affirming care practices, provider education, communicative challenges and successes, and environmental cues.

Coupons and state tobacco policy context as predictors of tobacco use among those reporting e-cigarette use in the U.S.: Findings from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study waves 5-6 (2018-2021).

Background: Receipt of cigarette and e-cigarette coupons predicts initiation and progression of use and hinders cessation. Less is known about how coupons operate in different tobacco regulatory environments. The current study utilized longitudinal data from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study to address this research gap.

Cows that are less active in the chute have more optimal grazing distribution.

Individual grazing patterns among cattle can contribute to sustainability of land use, however, little is known about the consistency of these grazing patterns. To address this knowledge gap, fifty Angus x Hereford cows were observed in repeated assays: A management assay (handling procedure, narrow chute, hydraulic squeeze), a social-feed trade-off assay (SFTA; choice between social mates and feed item), and novel approach assay (choice between social mates and feed item with novel pattern). The same cattle were tracked with GPS collars over two grazing seasons (June-August 2021 and 2022) and average grazing-related metrics (e.

Substance Use Epidemiology as a Foundation for Prevention.

In the 50 years since its establishment, the National Institute on Drug Abuse has made significant investment and strides toward improving individual and public health. Epidemiology serves as the foundation for understanding the how many, why, how, where, and who of drug use and its consequences, and effective epidemiology research and training are geared toward actionable findings that can inform real-world responses. Epidemiologic findings enhance clinicians' ability to provide ongoing care by incorporating information about the patterns and outcomes of drug use that their patients may experience.
