Objective: The accumulating evidence suggests that school refusal behavior is associated with severe negative outcomes. However, previous research has not addressed school refusal by patients with gender identity disorder (GID). In this study, we tried to clarify the prevalence of school refusal among GID patients and the relationship of school refusal to demographic characteristics.
Methods: A total of 579 consecutive Japanese GID patients at the outpatient GID Clinic of Okayama University Hospital between April 1997 and October 2005 were evaluated.
Results: The prevalence of school refusal was 29.2% of the total sample. School refusal was more frequent among GID patients with divorced parents than those with intact families. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that younger age at consultation and divorce of parents were significantly associated with school refusal among the male-to-female GID patients.
Conclusion: The rate of school refusal among GID patients is high, and school refusal is closely related with a low level of education and current unemployment. We should pay more attention to GID patients of school age to prevent their school refusal, which results in low educational achievement.

Plant-based dietary patterns have been demonstrated to reduce the risk of non-communicable disease (NCD), including cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes, cancer, and all-cause mortality. Phenolic compounds (PC), abundant in plant-based foods, have been considered as instrumental in this attenuation of NCD risk. We evaluated the association between dietary intake of PC and the risk of all-cause mortality in a relatively young Mediterranean cohort of 18,173 Spanish participants in the "Seguimiento Universidad de Navarra" (SUN) project, after a median follow-up of 12.

Studies have shown that the school atmosphere perceived by students can play a key role in promoting their well-being and success in school. No study to date has analyzed whether the students' perceived school atmosphere might contribute to school refusal (SR), which in turn might reduce students' engagement and promote underachievement. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 528 Italian high school students (M = 16.

The accuracy of metacognitive judgments is rarely incentivized in experiments; hence, it depends on the participants' willingness to invest cognitive resources and respond truthfully. According to arguments promoted in economic research that performance cannot reach its full potential without proper motivation, metacognitive abilities might therefore have been underestimated. In two experiments (N = 128 and N = 129), we explored the impact of incentives on the accuracy of judgments of learning (JOLs), memory performance, and cue use in free recall of word lists.
