Background: Early identification and intervention for mental health (MH) problems in childhood offers lifelong benefits. Many children with MH problems do not receive appropriate help. To address this need, an online universal MH screening tool, the Growing Minds Check-In for parents/caregivers (GMCI-P), was developed to provide feedback to parents on their children's MH, identify children at risk of MH problems, and link parents to evidence-based online programs/information, with the goal of facilitating parent help-seeking, and ultimately reducing the prevalence of child MH problems.

Despite reported differences in the microbiota among cheese types and even producers, to the best of our knowledge, no study has comprehensively assessed all potential microbial sources and their contributions to any raw ewe milk-derived cheese, which could suppose great potential for benefits from research in this area. Here, using the Protected Designation of Origin Idiazabal cheese as an example, the impact of the environment and practices of artisanal dairies (including herd feed, teat skin, dairy surfaces, and ingredients) on the microbiomes of the associated raw milk, whey, and derived cheeses was examined through shotgun metagenomic sequencing.

Parenting interventions are available through community health settings and can intervene with adverse childhood experiences that are within a parent's capacity to modify. Technology can minimize common barriers associated with engaging in face-to-face parenting interventions.

- Laser frequency noise is problematic in low-frequency measurements, but can be mitigated using differential measurement schemes with heterodyne optical phase-locked loops.
- The study demonstrates simultaneous optical phase-locked loops with notable specifications, achieving a 300 MHz offset range and an impressive 250 dB open-loop gain at 0.1 Hz.
- A four-laser differential measurement setup is detailed, effectively suppressing relative free-running noise to enhance measurement precision below 0.1 / at 0.1 Hz.
Article Synopsis
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women in New South Wales experience significantly higher rates of cervical cancer compared to non-Aboriginal women, with an incidence rate of 17.29 per 100,000 versus 6.77 per 100,000.
- Despite similar overall treatment rates and survival outcomes, Aboriginal women often face barriers to surgical and radiotherapy treatments, especially if they are socioeconomically disadvantaged or live in remote areas.
- There is a pressing need for targeted interventions to improve access to cervical cancer care for younger Aboriginal women, addressing issues related to diagnosis, treatment, and the broader socioeconomic impacts of the disease.
