Objective: This article evaluated whether deviation from developmentally appropriate self-care autonomy moderated the effects of intensive therapy (IT) or usual care (UC) on glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA(1C)) in 142 youths with diabetes.
Methods: Youths received an autonomy/maturity ratio (AMR) score at baseline that was a ratio of standardized scores on measures of self-care autonomy to standardized scores on measures of psychological maturity and were categorized by tertile split into low, moderate, and high AMR.
Results: Higher baseline AMR was associated with higher baseline HbA(1C) for IT and UC. Baseline AMR scores predicted glycemic outcomes from UC; the high AMR tertile showed deteriorating glycemic control over time, whereas the low AMR tertile maintained better glycemic control. All three AMR groups derived equal glycemic benefit from IT.
Conclusion: Children with inordinate diabetes self-care autonomy may fare poorly in UC but these same children may realize less glycemic deterioration during IT.

Background: Assistive technology (AT) plays a crucial role in empowering people living with dementia (PLWD) to perform tasks independently, enhancing their autonomy and dignity. To build on this foundation, our proposal introduces a home-based reminder system designed to further support PLWD in their daily lives.
Hypothesis: Memory aid technology, in particular reminder systems, can be developed to prospectively provide PLWD with autonomy and independence, to alleviate responsibilities and time commitments of caregivers and clinicians, and to enable remote behavioral monitoring.

Objective: This study investigated the bidirectional longitudinal association between subjective oral health (SOH) and subjective well-being (SWB) over time.
Methods: This cohort study was based on a four-wave surveys conducted by the English Longitudinal Study of Aging. SOH was measured by oral impacts on daily performance (OIDP), self-rated oral health (SROH), and SWB was measured by the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression (CES-D) scale, Control, Autonomy, Self-Realization, and Pleasure (CASP-19), and satisfaction with life scale (SWLS).
A Qualitative Analysis of Rural Community Vaccination Barriers During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Background/objectives: Rural communities in the United States experience increased disparity of care for both general healthcare services and access to routine vaccines. Previous research has indicated a 40% lower vaccination rate in rural communities, as compared to urban counterparts. Having a better understanding regarding factors influencing lower vaccination rates in rural areas could help public health officials prepare for future vaccination efforts.

Since 2014, the health sector in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has been undergoing reforms aimed at strengthening the Provincial Health Administration (PHA) to better support health district development through technical support to district health management teams (DHMTs). However, there is limited understanding of how, for whom, and under what conditions this support works. Using a realist evaluation approach, this study aimed to test an initial program theory of technical support to DHMTs by PHA staff in Kasai Central Province.
