Background: Stigma of mental health conditions hinders recovery and well-being. The Honest, Open, Proud (HOP) program shows promise in reducing stigma but there is uncertainty about the feasibility of a randomized trial to evaluate a peer-delivered, individual adaptation of HOP for psychosis (Let's Talk).
Methods: A multi-site, Prospective Randomized Open Blinded Evaluation (PROBE) design, feasibility randomised controlled trial (RCT) comparing the peer-delivered intervention (Let's Talk) to treatment as usual (TAU).
Gait retraining is a strategy to manage altered loading patterns and pain characteristic of knee osteoarthritis. Lower walking cadence is associated with higher knee joint loading, vertical ground reaction forces, and risk for cartilage worsening. Therefore, we determined the acute effects of increasing walking cadence on measures of lower extremity loading and knee pain in knee osteoarthritis.

The Self-Stigma in Alcohol-Dependence Scale-Short Form (SSAD-SF) was designed to enable a brief, but valid assessment of AUD self-stigma.
Methods: We reduced the 64-item SSAD, originally derived from 16 stereotypes towards people with AUD, by removing the most offensive items based on perspectives of people with lived experience.
Article Synopsis
- Individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) exiting the criminal justice system struggle more with accessing mental health services compared to those without such a background, prompting the exploration of peer navigation interventions.
- A qualitative study involving interviews and focus groups with peer navigators and those with SMI revealed that participants found peer navigation services to be both feasible and acceptable for helping with community reentry.
- Key themes included the role of peers in overcoming care barriers, the positive impact of shared identities in reducing stigma, and essential skills for peer navigators, such as empathy and active listening, along with recommendations for program implementation.
Tin(II) compounds are versatile materials with applications across fields such as catalysis, diagnostic imaging, and therapeutic drugs. However, oxidative stabilization of Sn(II) has remained an unresolved challenge as its reactivity with water and dioxygen results in loss of functionality, limiting technological advancement. Approaches to slow Sn(II) oxidation with chelating ligands or sacrificial electron donors have yielded only moderate improvements.
