Purpose: Children with typical hearing and various language and cognitive challenges can struggle with processing speech in background noise. Thus, children with a language disorder (LD) are at risk for difficulty with speech recognition in poorer acoustic environments.
Method: The current study compared the effects of background speech-shaped noise (SSN) with and without reverberation on sentence recognition for children with LD ( = 9) and typical language development (TLD; = 9).
Background: People of African and Caribbean heritage in the UK have a higher prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) and poorer health outcomes than white Europeans.

This qualitative evaluation uses the Exploration-Preparation-Implementation-Sustainment (EPIS) framework to explore factors affecting scale-up from delivery and commissioning perspectives.

- - Emerging adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) often struggle to manage their condition effectively, facing challenges with both glycemic control and mental health issues like depression and anxiety.
- - A study involving 233 participants found that resilience is closely linked to better emotional well-being and improved HbA1c levels, though it did not moderate the effects of mental health problems on glycemic outcomes.
- - The findings suggest that enhancing resilience could be beneficial for managing diabetes-related stress and improving glycemic control, indicating a need for new interventions focused on building resilience in this population.
