Importance: Alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH) has high mortality, and rates are increasing among adolescents and young adults (AYAs).
Objective: To define the sex-specific epidemiology of AH in AYAs and the association between female sex and liver-related outcomes after a first presentation of AH.
Design, Setting, And Participants: A retrospective, population-based cohort study of routinely collected health care data held at ICES from Ontario, Canada, was conducted.
Objectives: To gather perspectives on childhood vaccination and vaccine hesitancy, the Saint Louis County Department of Public Health (DPH) surveyed parents seeking nonmedical exemptions, conducted focus groups of school nurses, and interviewed pediatricians.
Methods: We distributed exemption forms and voluntary questionnaires to parents in St Louis County who were seeking nonmedical exemptions for their school-aged children at any DPH clinic from August 2019 through December 2022. We conducted and recorded four 75- to 90-minute focus groups of 11 school nurses in groups of 2 or 3 nurses in September 2022.
The availability and quality of food resources can alter the intensity of competition and predation pressure within communities. Understanding species capacity to respond to global change-driven shifts in resource distribution is therefore crucial for biodiversity conservation.

- Sustainability issues often impact marginalized communities more harshly, but considerations of justice are frequently overlooked in sustainability research.
