Heavy drinking is a major public health concern, particularly among young adults who often experience fear of being stigmatized when seeking help for alcohol-related problems. To address drinking concerns outside clinical settings, we tested the feasibility of a novel imagery-based behavior change strategy led by student lay interventionists in a college setting. Participants were adults recruited on a college campus and were randomized to either learn the four steps of WOOP (Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, and Plan) or to learn a format-matched Sham WOOP (Wish, Outcome, "Outcome," and Plan).

- A female neonate born to consanguineous parents exhibited severe hyperparathyroidism (NSHPT) after a C-section, showing signs of respiratory distress and skeletal abnormalities following birth.
- Diagnostic challenges included elevated calcium levels and a homozygous variant in the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) gene, leading to the establishment of NSHPT.
- Management of NSHPT is critical due to its high mortality risk; treatment options typically involve addressing the high calcium levels and associated metabolic issues.
Objective: Excess mortality in mentally ill is largely due to high rates of physical illnesses that lead to worse health outcomes. This study examines the intake of added sugar from sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) and factors associated with poor mental and physical health in people with severe mental illness.
Methods: Data were collected as part of the standard care of consumers attending the Collaborative Centre for Cardiometabolic Health in Psychosis clinics where a diet history is taken by a dietitian.
