Social interaction plays a pivotal role in human development, influencing cognitive, emotional, and communicative growth across all stages of life. Integrating augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices into social interactions, especially during dynamic activities such as play, introduces cognitive complexity. This forum explores leveraging smart device design and technology to help integrate AAC into dynamic social interactions, focusing specifically on play.

Prior observations of persistent public misconceptions and negative beliefs surrounding palliative care have led to extensive calls for public education on palliative care. Yet, the development of effective initiatives to improve public perceptions of palliative care is still hindered by a lack of research providing a deeper, contextualized understanding of the way people perceive and give meaning to palliative care. This study therefore set out to explore patterns of shared meaning across personal narratives surrounding experiences with palliative care, serious illness, and the end of life.

Introduction: Addressing childhood obesity risk factors like home environment, parental roles, excess weight, physical activity and healthy eating among Latino/Hispanic (L/H) families living in rural communities is an important priority. However, evidence supporting these interventions among L/H families living in rural communities is missing. Our trial will use cultural adaptation and implementation science frameworks to evaluate the feasibility of delivering a culturally appropriate family-based childhood obesity (FBCO) programme via an automated telephone system (interactive voice response) to L/H families in rural Nebraska.

Background: The growing availability of big data spontaneously generated by social media platforms allows us to leverage natural language processing (NLP) methods as valuable tools to understand the opioid crisis.
Objective: We aimed to understand how NLP has been applied to Reddit (Reddit Inc) data to study opioid use.
Methods: We systematically searched for peer-reviewed studies and conference abstracts in PubMed, Scopus, PsycINFO, ACL Anthology, IEEE Xplore, and Association for Computing Machinery data repositories up to July 19, 2022.
