Text message-delivered cannabis use disorder treatment with young adults: A large randomized clinical trial.

Background: Two scientific and clinical challenges for treating cannabis use disorder (CUD) are developing efficacious treatments with high likelihood of uptake and scalability, and testing the clinical mechanisms by which treatments work. Because young adults experience more CUD than other age groups, a need exists to test the efficacy and hypothesized causal pathways of novel treatments for CUD. Text-delivered treatments have the potential to reach young adults by increasing access and perceived privacy.

Association of patient- and hospital-level predictors with patterns of initial treatment in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis: findings from a national cohort study.

Objectives: To update the first-line conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (csDMARDs) prescribing pattern, describe change and variation across demographical and geographical factors in the Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) population, and identify individual and hospital factors associated with it.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included newly diagnosed RA adult patients from 1 May 2018-1 April 2023 in the UK. We used adjusted multinomial logistic regression with random effect to explore associations with different first-line csDMRAD prescription and to account for hospital-level clustering.

Telehealth Occupation-Based Coaching for Rural Parents of Children With Type 1 Diabetes: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
