When and Why Adults Abandon Lifestyle Behavior and Mental Health Mobile Apps: Scoping Review.

Background: With 1 in 3 adults globally living with chronic conditions and the rise in smartphone ownership, mobile health apps have become a prominent tool for managing lifestyle-related health behaviors and mental health. However, high rates of app abandonment pose challenges to their effectiveness.

Objective: We explored the abandonment of apps used for managing physical activity, diet, alcohol, smoking, and mental health in free-living conditions, examining the duration of app use before abandonment and the underlying reasons.

Setting the game plan: an international Delphi study on evaluating a population-wide youth sports financial incentive.

Background: Children and adolescents' physical inactivity is a global problem. Financial incentives are increasingly utilised to support children's participation in sport, with programs introduced in multiple jurisdictions globally, however few programs have comprehensive evaluations. This study used a Delphi methodology to develop evaluation recommendations for an existing population-wide financial incentive program based in South Australia.

Hybrid Mass Spectrometry Applied across the Production of Antibody Biotherapeutics.

Post expression from the host cells, biotherapeutics undergo downstream processing steps before final formulation. Mass spectrometry and biophysical characterization methods are valuable for examining conformational and stoichiometric changes at these stages, although typically not used in biomanufacturing, where stability is assessed via bulk property studies. Here we apply hybrid MS methods to understand how solution condition changes impact the structural integrity of a biopharmaceutical across the processing pipeline.

Prompting better feedback: investigating the effect of targeted form design on quality of narrative feedback in ophthalmology CBME assessments.

Objective: Competency-based medical education (CBME) requires a variety of assessments evaluating resident performance. Assessment form design may influence narrative feedback quality. To evaluate the effect of including targeted written comment prompts in entrustable professional activity (EPA) assessment forms on the quality of narrative feedback in CBME ophthalmology resident trainee assessments.
