Perception of the Portrayal of Autism in Netflix's Within the Autism Community.

Background: Fictional portrayals of autism play a role in raising awareness, shaping knowledge, and influencing attitudes toward autism. However, the accuracy of these portrayals is a topic of debate. Limited research has been conducted with the autism community regarding their perceptions of fictional portrayals of autism.

Mindfulness is associated with reduced barriers to exercise via decreasing psychological distress in help-seeking young adults: A cross-sectional brief report.

Aim: Mental illness is common among young people. Exercise has benefits for mental health; however, young people experience a range of barriers to engaging in physical activity, one of which is psychological distress. Mindfulness is a modifiable factor that can reduce distress and may, in turn, reduce perceived barriers to physical activity.

Young people's attitudes towards integrating physical activity as part of mental health treatment: A cross-sectional study in youth mental health services.

Introduction: Due to the significant burden associated with mental disorders that have their onset in youth, there is a critical need to improve treatments and treatment outcomes. Given the evidence for physical activity (PA) as an effective intervention for reducing depression and anxiety symptoms in young people, we examined young people's attitudes towards and acceptability of PA as part of mental health treatment, predictors of current engagement in PA and predictors of attitudes towards PA as a treatment option.

Methods: Participants in this cross-sectional study were 88 young people (15-25 years) who were engaged in treatment at youth mental health services in Melbourne, Australia.

Leading for the long haul: a mixed-method evaluation of the Sustainment Leadership Scale (SLS).

Background: Despite our progress in understanding the organizational context for implementation and specifically the role of leadership in implementation, its role in sustainment has received little attention. This paper took a mixed-method approach to examine leadership during the sustainment phase of the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, Sustainment (EPIS) framework. Utilizing the Implementation Leadership Scale as a foundation, we sought to develop a short, practical measure of sustainment leadership that can be used for both applied and research purposes.

Research-Supported Intervention and Discretion Among Frontline Workers Implementing Home Visitation Services.

Objective: We examine how frontline workers and supervisors delivering a research supported intervention (RSI) to reduce child neglect negotiated system-related challenges, the pragmatics of RSI implementation, and their professional identities and relationships with clients.

Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews, small group discussions, and focus groups with frontline workers and supervisors in one large county over two time periods. We used iterative coding to analyze qualitative data.

Coaching mental health peer advocates for rural LGBTQ people.

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer or questioning (LGBTQ) people are affected by mental health disparities, especially in rural communities. We trained peer advocates in rural areas in the fundamentals of mental health, outreach, education, and support for this population. The peer advocates were coached by licensed mental health professionals.

The Roles of System and Organizational Leadership in System-Wide Evidence-Based Intervention Sustainment: A Mixed-Method Study.

If evidence-based interventions (EBIs) are not sustained, investments are wasted and public health impact is limited. Leadership has been suggested as a key determinant of implementation and sustainment; however, little empirical work has examined this factor. This mixed-methods study framed using the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, Sustainment (EPIS) conceptual framework examines leadership in both the outer service system context and inner organizational context in eleven system-wide implementations of the same EBI across two U.

STRUCTURAL INEQUALITY AND SOCIAL SUPPORT FOR WOMEN PRISONERS RELEASED TO RURAL COMMUNITIES.

Incarceration and community reentry for rural women reflect gendered processes. We draw upon in-depth semi-structured interviews and focus groups to examine the return of women prisoners to underserved rural communities, while attending to the perspectives of their closest social supporters. Our findings underscore the complexity of the reentry process for rural women and its particular impact on their families.

Contracting and Procurement for Evidence-Based Interventions in Public-Sector Human Services: A Case Study.

Sustainment of evidence-based interventions (EBIs) in human services depends on the inner context of community-based organizations (CBOs) that provide services and the outer context of their broader environment. Increasingly, public officials are experimenting with contracting models from for-profit industries to procure human services. In this case study, we conducted qualitative interviews with key government and CBO stakeholders to examine implementation of the Best Value-Performance Information Procurement System to contract for EBIs in a child welfare system.

Long-term evaluation of safety and health-related quality of life in women with heavy menstrual bleeding treated with oral tranexamic acid.

Aims: A multicenter, long-term, open-label study was conducted to assess the safety and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of an oral tranexamic acid (TA) formulation in women with cyclic heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB).

Materials & Methods: Following a screening menstrual cycle, women with a history of cyclic HMB initiated 27 cycles of treatment with TA 1.3 g administered three-times daily for up to 5 days per menstrual cycle (maximum of 15 doses).

The effects of bazedoxifene on mammographic breast density in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.

Objective: This study aimed to assess quantitative changes in mammographic breast density after 24 months of therapy with bazedoxifene compared with raloxifene or placebo in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.

Methods: This was a retrospective, ancillary study of a subset of women enrolled in a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo- and active-controlled phase 3 trial evaluating bazedoxifene for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis. Participants were randomly assigned to receive bazedoxifene 20 or 40 mg, raloxifene 60 mg, or placebo once daily for 3 years.

Dalteparin sodium injection treatment in patients with immunologic recurrent pregnancy loss.

Dalteparin sodium injection in patients with an immunologic component to RPL resulted in an increase in compliance without any adverse early pregnancy outcomes.

The role of p53 tumor suppressor gene and bcl-2 protooncogene in rat corpus luteum death.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to find out whether the mammalian corpus luteum undergoes genetically programmed cell death as evidenced by the positive or negative expression of specific biochemical markers of apoptosis (p53 and bcl-2).

Study Design: Twenty-six immature 28-day-old female Sprague-Dawley rats were given 10 IU of pregnant mare's serum gonadotropin to induce ovulation and corpus luteum formation. Corpora lutea were collected on postovulatory days 8, 10, 12, and 14 and snap-frozen immediately.

Quadruplet in vitro fertilization pregnancy complicated by fetal reduction and leiomyoma.

A woman had a quadruplet IVF pregnancy with a leiomyomatous uterus. Pregnancy resulted in the birth of one baby after missed abortion of one fetus and selective reduction of two others. The woman had a left deep calf vein thrombosis in the first half of pregnancy.

A review of the genetics of recurrent pregnancy loss.

The field of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) has seen a blossoming of investigations in the etiology and treatment of this condition over the last few years. Despite all of this activity, there remains much controversy in all aspects of the field. This ranges from discrepancies in the definition of recurrent pregnancy loss to elements in the work-up and the very existence of certain conditions for which aggressive therapeutic modalities are proposed.
