Background: Screen time is on the rise among youth, and as a result, cyberbullying victimization has become increasingly prevalent. While prior research has established a positive correlation between screen usage and cyberbullying victimization, a paucity of research has explored how motives for screen usage are associated with cyberbullying victimization and moderate the positive association between screen usage and cyberbullying victimization.
Objective: The present study sought to address these research gaps by exploring the association between motives for screen usage and cyberbullying victimization and examining whether these motives moderate the association between screen time and cyberbullying.

Noninvasive liver fibrosis scores (LFSs) aim to evaluate the severity of liver fibrosis. Whether LFSs can predict the risk of future cardiovascular events (CVEs) remains unclear.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate a web-based intervention using personalized avatars to improve understanding of community immunity (herd immunity) and its impact on individuals' risk perception regarding vaccine-preventable diseases like measles and influenza.
- Researchers developed an interactive application where users create avatars that represent themselves and others in their community, which illustrates how infections spread with and without community immunity.
- The trial with 3883 Canadian adults found that participants who used the web application showed improved risk perception, motivations, and emotions related to vaccination compared to those in a control group, validating the effectiveness of the intervention.
Background: Internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Nigeria face a high burden of mental health disorders, with limited access to evidence-based, culturally relevant interventions. Life skills education (LSE) is a promising approach to promote mental health and psychosocial well-being in humanitarian settings.
