Article Synopsis
- - Child maltreatment is a serious global issue, and school-based programs like the Speak Up Be Safe (SUBS) curriculum can help prevent it by teaching children about safety and self-protection.
- - A study involving nearly 2,800 students from kindergarten to grade 8 assessed the effectiveness of SUBS and found that students who participated reported significantly improved knowledge and skills concerning abuse and neglect compared to a control group.
- - The findings suggest that the SUBS program is a cost-effective, evidence-based solution for schools to implement universally, helping to safeguard students from child maltreatment.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores the link between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and substance use in both youth and adults, utilizing two datasets from Arizona to analyze this relationship.* -
- Logistic regression models revealed that individuals with ACE scores of 4 to 6 reported higher levels of substance use, reinforcing the idea that increased ACEs correlate with greater substance use across age groups.* -
- The findings highlight the importance of using local research to guide prevention strategies and inform policymaking, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions for those with higher ACEs.*
Introduction: More than 180 million people have been infected by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and more than 4 million coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) patients have died in 1.5 years of the pandemic. A novel therapeutic vaccine (NASVAC) has shown to be safe and to have immunomodulating and antiviral properties against chronic hepatitis B (CHB).

CHSUBS is grounded in theory and was developed to 1) provide students with the skills they need to prevent or interrupt child abuse, bullying, and neglect, and 2) increase student knowledge about safety related to abuse.
Methods: Utilizing a cluster-randomized controlled trial design, the three high schools were randomly assigned to participate in the CHSUBS curriculum or the control group.
Child maltreatment (CM) is a serious and prevalent public health problem in the United States (U.S.) yet programming to combat the issue often overlooks high school aged youth (those aged 14-17).

Reinfection has mainly been studied in selected populations with a high risk of reexposure to TB. Our aim was to analyze the role of reinfection in TB recurrences in unselected populations, without the clinical/epidemiological circumstances that favor the involvement of a new different strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the recurrence.
