This is the 1st study to examine the effects of individual- and program-level characteristics on treatment attrition within a prison-based setting. The sample of 1,446 men and women were from 19 programs. Differences were found in both individual- and program-level predictors of disciplinary discharges and dropouts. Dropouts were more likely to be women and enter treatment with lower levels of motivation. Individuals who were disciplinary discharges from treatment were more likely to be young, have a history of violence, and have a diagnosis of antisocial personality. Only 1 program factor--an emphasis on disciplinary discharge for violation of program rules--was associated with disciplinary discharge. The clinical implications of these findings are discussed.

Department of Neurosurgery, University of Illinois Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, USA.
Background And Objectives: The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education Milestones assessment system provides a structured framework for evaluating the developmental progression of neurosurgery residents. Understanding the variability in learning trajectories and identifying critical intervention points are essential for refining educational strategies and enhancing training outcomes. In this article, we aim to identify learning trajectories of neurosurgery residents and pinpoint pivotal junctures for potential interventions to aid residents struggling to meet expected competency levels.

Resident Operative Autonomy in Robotic Surgery Training: Unpacking Gender Disparities and Training Trends.
J Surg Educ
December 2024
Department of Surgery, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX. Electronic address:
Article Synopsis
- - This study examined factors affecting surgical residents' autonomy during robotic surgeries, focusing on data from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center between 2021-2023, particularly in pancreaticoduodenectomies, hernia repairs, and low anterior resections.
- - Results showed that male residents reported higher levels of autonomy and longer console times compared to female residents, with female residents having 74% lower odds of high resident autonomy.
- - The 2023 cohort experienced greater autonomy than earlier cohorts, and those aligned with specific fellowships had more console time, while no differences were found related to attending gender, hospital type, or underrepresented minority status.

Context: While specialist palliative care is associated with improved end-of-life quality metrics for patients with advanced cancer, its effectiveness may differ between hospitals.
Objectives: To examine variation in palliative care program performance on end-of-life care quality metrics.
Methods: Retrospective cohort study of palliative care programs that participated in the National Palliative Care Registry, 2018-2019.
Client and program-level factors associated with planned use of medications for opioid use disorder in specialty substance use treatment programs: Evidence from linked administrative data and survey data.

Center for Opioid Epidemiology and Policy, NYU Grossman School of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health, 615 N Wolfe St, Baltimore, MD 21205, United States of America.
Background: Most patients in specialty drug treatment programs that are not federally licensed Opioid Treatment Programs (OTPs) programs do not receive medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD).
Methods: We linked results from a survey of non-OTP treatment program directors in New Jersey (n = 81) to statewide administrative records of admissions for opioid use to those programs between July 2021-June 2022. Using multi-level regression, we examined the association of three types of factors with planned MOUD use: program survey responses, client-level factors, and program-level client characteristic mix.
