A variety of pesticides have direct effects on retinoic acid (RA) signaling and as RA signaling has important roles in neurodevelopment, such compounds may cause developmental neurotoxicity through an overlapping adverse outcome pathway. It is hypothesized that a pesticide's embryonic effects on retinoid function may correspond with neurobehavioral disruption later in development.

- Transgender and non-binary individuals in the UK experience significant challenges with alcohol use, including higher likelihoods of dependence and limited access to support systems.
- A survey conducted between February and March 2022 gathered data from 565 participants about their alcohol use, motivations for reduction, and preferences for support methods.
- Findings revealed that over 15% of participants achieved long-term abstinence without support, often motivated by health concerns, and those wanting to reduce their drinking preferred self-help tools and specialized services tailored for their community.
Article Synopsis
- Transgender and non-binary individuals in a UK sample were studied to understand their alcohol use, risk of dependence, and the impact of discrimination and dysphoria on drinking motives.
- The survey included 462 participants, revealing that higher discrimination levels correlated with increased alcohol dependence and harms.
- The study suggests that reducing discrimination and addressing coping and enhancement motives could help alleviate alcohol-related issues in these communities, and proposes creating alcohol-free social spaces.
