This study evaluates the safe sex determinants in college students. In the qualitative section, premarital sex, sex with steady girlfriend and religion's impact were highlighted. In the quantitative part, the relations between the religiosity score and past sexual activity, attitude, norms, and self-efficacy with regard to sexual abstinence were investigated. Students who had a higher religious score were significantly more likely to have high self-efficacy in refusing sex, and their attitudes supported their abstinence. Additionally, these students were more likely never to have had a sexual relationship. Findings suggest that greater religious involvement is a protective factor in high-risk sexual behavior.

Economic and material hardship, including housing insecurity - limited or uncertain availability or access to safe, quality, and affordable housing - is strongly linked to negative physical and mental health outcomes among adolescents and adults. However, data limitations and the inherent selectivity of housing insecurity have hindered comprehensive analysis of its long-term effects on physiological and mental health. This study uses data from The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health) to construct a sample of participants who experienced housing insecurity between the ages of 18-26 (Wave III) to a suitable control group using propensity score matching.

Artificial intelligence (AI) advancements have accelerated applications of imaging in clinical oncology, especially in revolutionizing the safe and accurate delivery of state-of-the-art imaging-guided radiotherapy techniques. However, concerns are growing over the potential for sex-related bias and the omission of female-specific data in multi-organ segmentation algorithm development pipelines. Opportunities exist for addressing sex-specific data as a source of bias, and improving sex inclusion to adequately inform the development of AI-based technologies to ensure their fairness, generalizability and equitable distribution.
