Introduction: This article describes the development and initial validation of a measure of implicit internalized stigma among queer people, the Implicit Internalized Sexual Orientation Stigma Affect Misattribution Procedure (Internal-SOS-AMP), a computer-administered sequential priming procedure.
Methods: The creation of the Internal-SOS-AMP involved a mixed-methods approach, including a literature review, expert interviews, stimuli selection and pilot testing, data collection from a large sample, reliability testing, correlational analyses, and confirmatory factor analysis. Psychometric testing was conducted with a national sample of 500 queer adults who completed two waves of data collection.
Background: The National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN) is the largest government sponsored organization in the United States tasked with funding randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in oncology. It is unknown whether there are differences in study design by treatment modality. We evaluated differences in methodology between trials testing radiotherapy versus systemic therapy.

Little research has been conducted on cancer care delivery during NT, and the standards for optimal delivery of NT have not been defined.
Objective: To develop consensus best practices for delivering NT to patients with localized PDAC.
This study examined current evidence on children's pathways into commercial sexual exploitation (CSE) in the United States to determine if characteristics, vulnerabilities, and social contexts were distinguishable by age, gender, race/ethnicity, and location. Using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses guidelines, peer-reviewed studies and grey literature were included if they were focused on CSE pathways prior to age 18, available in English, U.S.
