Objectives: The study explores whether breast-cancer patients who request psychosocial support have higher psychological strain compared to those who do not. We also explored whether scores on HADS-D and PHQ-D identify the same patients as being stressed as well as the relationship between patient's wish for psychological support and psychological strain.
Methods: 115 inpatients with breast cancer took part in the screening and were asked if they wanted psychosocial support.
Results: Above-normal scores in anxiety and depression are reported by 25-29%, with 41% indicating a wish for psychosocial support. These patients showed significantly higher scores on the questionnaires. Their request for psychosocial support shows a similar sensitivity (.733) and specificity (.662) as the "Distress-Thermometer" or "PO-Bado".
Discussion: The desire for psychosocial support appears to be a valuable piece of additional information for indicating psychosocial support. However, HADS-D and PHQ-D agree only in 77% of the individual patients.

Recycling excreta resources through resource-oriented toilet systems (ROTS) holds transformative potential, yet adoption remains limited, especially where benefits could be high. This study aims to understand constraints hindering the adoption of ROTS in one such area in Ethiopia. Based on a survey among 476 households comprising 2393 individuals, we examine the plans to use ROTS and willingness to pay for ROTS and apply structural equation modelling to analyze the drivers of these two outcomes while comparing the explanative power of the extended technology acceptance model, extended theory of planned behaviour, and their combined model.
