Background And Aims: Despite the last decade's significant development in the scientific study of work addiction/workaholism, this area of research is still facing a fundamental challenge, namely the need for a valid and reliable measurement tool that shows cross-cultural invariance and, as such, allows for worldwide studies on this phenomenon.
Methods: An initial 16-item questionnaire, developed within an addiction framework, was administered alongside job stress, job satisfaction, and self-esteem measures in a total sample of 31,352 employees from six continents and 85 cultures (63.5% females, mean age of 39.
Background: Limited federal premarket oversight over United States-sold dietary supplements impedes consumer safety and product efficacy. The Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD) was created to increase publicly available information on United States-sold dietary supplements. Building on what the DSLD was designed to provide, we aimed to create a comprehensive database that can facilitate searches on supplements sold with weight loss, muscle building, and cleanse/detox claims, supplement categories previously flagged for misleading claims and containing toxic ingredients.

Study Design: Prospective cohort study using longitudinal data (April/May 2020-April 2021) drawn from the US-based COVID-19 Substudy (N = 55,098), embedded in the Nurses' Health Studies 2 and 3 and the Growing Up Today Study.
Methods: Modified Poisson models were fit to estimate sociodemographic-adjusted risk ratios (aRRs) and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) of supplement use by racialized identity.
Importance: Limited research explores mental health disparities between individuals in sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations and cisgender heterosexual (non-SGM) populations using national-level data.
Objective: To explore mental health disparities between SGM and non-SGM populations across sexual orientation, sex assigned at birth, and gender identity within the All of Us Research Program.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This cross-sectional study used survey data and linked electronic health records of eligible All of Us Research Program participants from May 31, 2017, to June 30, 2022.
This scoping review focuses on the evolution of pre-analytical errors (PAEs) in medical laboratories, a critical area with significant implications for patient care, healthcare costs, hospital length of stay, and operational efficiency. The Covidence Review tool was used to formulate the keywords, and then a comprehensive literature search was performed using several databases, importing the search results directly into Covidence (n=379). Title, abstract screening, duplicate removal, and full-text screening were done.
