Tools for the identification of victims of domestic abuse and modern slavery in remote services: A systematic review.

Objective: To explore the technology-based tools available for supporting the identification of victims of domestic abuse and modern slavery in remote services and consider the benefits and challenges posed by the existing tools.

Methods: We searched six academic databases. Studies were considered for inclusion if they were published in English between 2000 and 2023.

Doing Trauma-Informed Work in a Trauma-Informed Way: Understanding Difficulties and Finding Solutions.

Trauma-informed practice (TIP) is expanding as a means of improving patient safety and engagement. Accordingly, professionals and other stakeholders increasingly come together in meetings and workshops to learn about, plan and evaluate TIP in health and social care settings. However, these kinds of trauma-informed work are sometimes carried out in a way that is not itself trauma-informed - missing an opportunity to 'model the model' and risking re-traumatisation and disengagement from further trauma-informed work for some attendees.

Predictive ability of the Desire to Avoid Pregnancy scale.

Background: A longstanding gap in the reproductive health field has been the availability of a screening instrument that can reliably predict a person's likelihood of becoming pregnant. The Desire to Avoid Pregnancy Scale is a new measure; understanding its sensitivity and specificity as a screening tool for pregnancy as well as its predictive ability and how this varies by socio-demographic factors is important to inform its implementation.

Methods: This analysis was conducted on a cohort of 994 non-pregnant participants recruited in October 2018 and followed up for one year.

Recombination and selection against introgressed DNA.

Introgressed DNA is often deleterious at many loci in the recipient species' genome, and is therefore purged by selection. Here, we use mathematical modeling and whole-genome simulations to study the influence of recombination on this process. We find that aggregate recombination controls the genome-wide rate of purging in the early generations after admixture, when purging is most rapid.
