Racial/Ethnic Variations in the Intergenerational Transmission of Adolescent Depression.
J Racial Ethn Health Disparities
December 2024
Depression tends to be experienced across generations and among racial/ethnic groups through various pathways. However, little is known about racial/ethnic variations in the transmission of adolescent depression among different racial/ethnic groups. This study aims to investigate the intergenerational transmission of adolescent depression across three generations among White, Black, and Hispanic groups.

There is little research on how nosocomephobia affects elective surgery or how acupuncture can help patients cope.
Methods: Using the transactional model of stress/coping, this qualitative case study examined the role of acupuncture in nosocomephobia patients' elective surgery appraisal processes.
Article Synopsis
- Unsustainable fishing practices have led to decreased global fish populations, prompting increased aquaculture, particularly involving Atlantic salmon, which has opened up new fisheries for mesopredatory species like the goldsinny wrasse.
- The goldsinny wrasse plays a crucial ecological role in coastal ecosystems, but its survival is threatened by climate change impacts such as marine heatwaves, ocean freshening, and ocean acidification.
- Experiments revealed high sensitivity of goldsinny wrasse to multiple stressors, resulting in significant mortality rates and metabolic changes, highlighting the need for conservation efforts to protect this species and its role in coastal habitats.
Purpose: While innovation is known to catalyse solutions to global sustainable development challenges, lack of engagement from stakeholders during conceptualisation and development may influence the degree of success of implementation.
Methods And Materials: This paper presents a complete and novel engagement methodology, developed from value led business modelling approaches, for working with multi-sector stakeholders. The methodology can be used to determine barriers and facilitators to clinical practice innovations or translational research, within a country-specific context.
Using a targeted metabolomic approach we investigated the effects of low seawater pH on energy metabolism in two late copepodite stages (CIV and CV) of the keystone Arctic copepod species Calanus glacialis. Exposure to decreasing seawater pH (from 8.0 to 7.
