The role of information science within the clinical translational science ecosystem.

Academic health sciences libraries ("libraries") offer services that span the entire research lifecycle, positioning them as natural partners in advancing clinical and translational science. Many libraries enjoy active and productive collaborations with Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) Program hubs and other translational initiatives like the IDeA Clinical & Translational Research Network. This article explores areas of potential partnership between libraries and Translational Science Hubs (TSH), highlighting areas where libraries can support the CTSA Program's five functional areas outlined in the Notice of Funding Opportunity.

The basic income for care leavers in Wales pilot evaluation: Protocol of a quasi-experimental evaluation.

Background: This study will evaluate the Basic Income for Care Leavers in Wales pilot (BIP), which is the most generous basic income scheme in the world. A cohort of care-experienced young people who become aged 18 during a 12-month enrolment period (July 2022-June 2023) are receiving £1,600 (before tax) per month for two years, and the Welsh Government intends this to have a range of benefits. This evaluation will examine the impact of BIP, the implementation of the pilot and how it is experienced, and its value for money.

Social Vulnerability Index and Dental Caries in Children: An Exploratory Study.

Objective: This retrospective cross-sectional study evaluated the association between caries outcomes in a pediatric population visiting a dental clinic and the social vulnerability index, an area-based measure capturing 4 main social determinants of health: socioeconomic status, household composition/disability, minority status/language, and housing/transportation.

Methods: The Centers for Disease Control Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) and electronic dental record data of children (0 to 18 y) reporting a caries diagnosis at the Children's Hospital Colorado in 2020 were extracted for 9,201 children. Logistic regressions were used to test the association between SVI and the presence or absence of dental caries, adjusting for age, sex, ethnicity, and race.

A telehealth yoga program for older adults in rural Wisconsin: intervention development and process outcomes.

Although yoga improves physical functioning, balance, and quality of life in older adults, rural residents are less likely to participate due to issues related to availability, access, and beliefs regarding yoga practice. To address these barriers, we worked with community partners to adapt a yoga program designed for older adults for telehealth delivery. In this report, intervention development and process outcomes are presented.

Experiences of Rural-Dwelling Children Wearing Physical Activity Trackers: An Exploratory Study.

Background/objectives: Although there is a need for evidence-based physical activity programs in rural communities, evaluating such programs is often challenging due to access-related barriers and measurement tools that are not designed for rural contexts. This study aimed to explore and better understand the day-to-day experiences of rural-dwelling children using wrist-worn PA trackers as part of a study to develop a health promotion program.

Methods: Ten caregivers and child dyads were enrolled ( = 20).

Developing a Physical Activity Program for Mothers and Their Children at Risk for Diabetes.

Objective: To rapidly identify and summarise evidence on key factors that affect access to support for minoritised informal adult carers which could be addressed at the level of local government policy-making.

Study Design: Rapid evidence review.

Methods: A rapid umbrella review was undertaken of systematic reviews of qualitative, quantitative and/or mixed method studies.

Prospective Health Impacts of a Universal Basic Income: Evidence from Community Engagement in South Tyneside, United Kingdom.

Studies have suggested that universal basic income (UBI) has the capacity to have substantial health benefits across the population at national level. Multiple impact pathways have recently been theorized and there are calls for trials to explore these pathways empirically. However, very limited research has taken place at local levels to explore potential context-specific effects, or how these effects could play out in economic, social, and behavioral changes.

Fear of Reinjury, Psychological Factors, and Sport Played Have Negative Impact on Return to Sport Following Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction for Patellar Instability.

Purpose: To analyze factors that affect return to sport after medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFLR), such as psychological factors, sport played, and a positive apprehension test following surgery, and to determine the average return to sport rates and time to return to sport.

Methods: A literature search was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Included studies met the following criteria: patients underwent MPFLR for patellar instability, return to sport was recorded, and a factor that affected return to sport was mentioned.

Children's behavioural and emotional wellbeing during the COVID-19 pandemic: Findings from the Born in Bradford COVID-19 mixed methods longitudinal study.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic led to a multitude of immediate social restrictions for many across the world. In the UK, the lives of children and young people were quickly impacted when COVID-19 restrictions led to school closures for most children and restrictions on social interactions. The Born in Bradford COVID-19 longitudinal research study explored the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the lives of children and their families living in Bradford.

Born in Bradford's Age of Wonder cohort: protocol for adolescent data collection.

Background: Adolescence and transition into adulthood are periods shaping life-long mental health, cardiometabolic risk, and inequalities. However, they are poorly studied and understood. By extending and expanding the Born in Bradford (BiB) cohort study through this period using innovative, co-produced approaches to collect and analyse data, we aim to understand better the interplay of factors that influence health and wellbeing, and inform/evaluate interventions to improve them and reduce inequalities.

Effect of Routine Child Physical Abuse Screening Tool on Emergency Department Efficiency.

Objectives: Physical abuse is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality for children. Routine screening by emergency nurses has been proposed to improve recognition, but the effect on emergency department (ED) workflow has not yet been assessed. We sought to evaluate the feasibility of routine screening and its effect on length of stay in a network of general EDs.

The socioeconomic context of stigma: examining the relationship between economic conditions and attitudes towards people with mental illness across European countries.

Introduction: Efforts to reduce the stigma associated with mental illness have intensified over the past 30 years with a particular focus on improving public attitudes. Difficult economic circumstances can be harmful to intergroup relations, but little is known about whether there is a relationship between socioeconomic conditions and attitudes towards people with mental illnesses.

Methods: Random effects logistic regression modelling was employed to explore the relationship between individual financial circumstances, contextual socioeconomic factors and difficulty speaking to a person with a significant mental illness across European countries.

Exploring attitudes and variation by sociodemographic factors in consent provided for financial data linkage in an experimental birth cohort study.

Background: Improving our understanding of household incomes and what constitutes financial insecurity can help us to better understand how financial insecurity is experienced and how this can change over time within and between individuals and populations. However, financial circumstances are often perceived as sensitive and stigmatising, particularly within some ethnic minority groups. This research aims to explore attitudes and variation by sociodemographic factors in consent provided for financial data linkage in an experimental birth cohort study, in order to obtain validated income and benefits data and to better understand the impact of community interventions on the financial security of its participants and their families.

A systematic review of diabetes prevention programs adapted to include family members.

Objectives: Family-based programs may be a strategy to prevent health conditions with hereditary risk such as diabetes. This review examined the state of the science regarding interventions that adapted the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) lifestyle change curriculum to include family members.

Methods: CINAHL, Cochrane Central, PsycINFO, PubMed, and Scopus were searched for reports that were peer reviewed, written in English, evaluated interventions that adapted the DPP lifestyle change curriculum to be family-based, reported diabetes risk related outcomes, and published between 2002 and August 2023.

An exploratory study of mothers engaging in physical activity in rural communities.

Gender gaps in physical activity (PA) exist with women being less active than men. Multiple cultural and psychosocial factors influence women's ability to successfully negotiate barriers to PA and other health promoting behaviors. The goal of this exploratory descriptive study was to better understand the daily experiences of mothers in making health promoting decisions for themselves and their families.

Exploring the feasibility of evaluating a community alliance welfare advice programme co-located in primary care in Bradford: an uncontrolled before and after study.

Background: Welfare advice services co-located in health settings are known to improve financial security. However, little is known on how to effectively evaluate these services. This study aims to explore the feasibility of evaluating a welfare advice service co-located in a primary care setting in a deprived and ethnically diverse population.

The long-term impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on financial insecurity in vulnerable families: Findings from the Born in Bradford Covid-19 longitudinal study.

There is growing recognition that the public health measures employed to control the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic had unintended consequences on socioeconomic security and health inequalities, having the greatest impact on the most vulnerable groups. This longitudinal study aims to explore the medium to long-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent public health measures on financial security for families living in the deprived and ethnically diverse city of Bradford. We collected data at four time points before and during the pandemic from mothers who participated in one of two prospective birth cohort studies in Bradford.
