Examining the Role of Duration and Frequency of Homelessness on Health Outcomes Among Unsheltered Young Adults.

Purpose: We examined the impact of duration and number of homelessness episodes on health outcomes for unsheltered homeless young adults.

Methods: We analyzed the 2018/2019 Los Angeles County homeless youth demographic surveys. We addressed five summary health outcomes: physical health, mental health, substance use disorder, tri-morbidity, and any condition.

Race and Ethnicity and Sex Variation in COVID-19 Mortality Risks Among Adults Experiencing Homelessness in Los Angeles County, California.

Importance: Few studies have used precise age-specific data to construct age-standardized estimates of the relative risks (RRs) of COVID-19 mortality for people experiencing homelessness (PEH) vs the general population, and none to date has addressed race and ethnicity and sex variations in COVID-19 mortality among PEH with COVID-19 infection.

Objective: To measure age-standardized mortality rate ratios for PEH vs the general population overall and by sex and race and ethnicity.

Design, Setting, And Participants: In this cross-sectional study, crude and age-specific COVID-19 mortality rates per 100 000 people were calculated using 5-year age groups and standardized mortality ratios for PEH and the general population aged 25 years and older, assessing differences by race and ethnicity and sex, from January 1, 2020, to November 1, 2021.

Unrewarding work and major depressive episode: Cross-sectional and prospective evidence from the U.S. MIDUS study.

Depression is a serious mental health condition and is the leading cause of disability worldwide. Previous research has demonstrated that work stress may contribute to the development of depression through psychophysiological pathways. The present study assessed associations of work stress - in terms of the effort-reward imbalance (ERI) model measuring unrewarding work - with major depressive episode (MDE).

Spiritual Benefit from Cannabis.

Like many mind-altering plants, cannabis has been part of spiritual practices for thousands of years. It has deep roots in Hinduism, Islam, Rastafarianism, and indigenous traditions in Asia, Africa, and elsewhere. Yet almost no attention has been given to how contemporary adults employ it spiritually.

Unique grief experiences: The needs of emerging adults facing the death of a parent.

Enduring the death of a family member during emerging adulthood is associated with intense grief. In total, 15 adults between the ages of 18-32 were interviewed about their experiences. Results indicated emerging adults experience a range of mixed emotions after losing a parent, face unique challenges related to their developmental stage, and tend to be resilient moving forward.

Training Dogs to Feel Good: Embodying Well-being in Multispecies Relations.

Social science concepts of well-being are largely premised on notions of a common humanity with shared physical needs and broadly legible experiences of the world. While medical anthropologists have interrogated ideas of universal bodily subjectivities, articulations of well-being across species boundaries remain underexplored. This article offers a conceptualization of well-being that attends to species difference.

Containment and competition: transgenic animals in the One Health agenda.

The development of the One World, One Health agenda coincides in time with the appearance of a different model for the management of human-animal relations: the genetic manipulation of animal species in order to curtail their ability as carriers of human pathogens. In this paper we examine two examples of this emergent transgenic approach to disease control: the development of transgenic chickens incapable of shedding avian flu viruses, and the creation of transgenic mosquitoes refractory to dengue or malaria infection. Our analysis elaborates three distinctions between the One World, One Health agenda and its transgenic counterpoint.

Modulation sensitivity in the perceptual organization of speech.

In a spoken utterance, a talker expresses linguistic constituents in serial order. A listener resolves these linguistic properties in the rapidly fading auditory sample. Classic measures agree that auditory integration occurs at a fine temporal grain.

Challenges to professional psychology education in the 21st century: response to Peterson.

Professional psychology education faces many critical challenges brought about by the major changes occurring in the health care arena. This article shows that professional schools and programs have a good record of responding to these challenges and of taking proactive steps sponding to prepare their graduates for new health care roles and delivery systems. Data on admissions to psychology doctoral training programs demonstrate little support for the toral concerns raised by Donald R.
