AI Article Synopsis
- The Tailored Goal Oriented Community Brief Intervention Model (TGCBI) was developed in Thailand to reduce risky drinking through a culturally sensitive, two-level approach involving community and individual engagement.
- The intervention focused on motivating participants to change their drinking habits at the community level, while also providing personalized messages to individuals.
- Results showed that TGCBI significantly increased the number of participants who stopped drinking and the number of alcohol-free months, indicating its effectiveness in promoting sustainable drinking cessation.
Article Abstract
Tailored Goal Oriented Community Brief Intervention Model (TGCBI), first implemented as culturally secure and acceptable to communities in Thailand, is designed in 2 stages or levels: community level, a culturally secure approach to motivate participants to reconsider their drinking behavior; individual level, involved in the key messages received from the community level together with additional input focused towards individuals. TGCBI's effectiveness was measured by the number of abstinent drinkers and number of alcohol-free months among those who continued to drink at followup in two communities that originally had high prevalence of risky drinking. Multivariate Poisson regression was used to investigate the intervention effect. Results indicated that the number of participants who stopped drinking 6 months later and the number of alcohol-free months during followup were significantly greater (P < 0.05) for 47 participants in the intervention group compared to the control group (n = 50). TGCBI results in sustainable drinking cessation.

Introduction: Research-practice-policy partnerships are shifting the academic research paradigm toward collaboration and research-informed action at community and policy levels. In this case study, researchers partnered with philanthropic foundations to actualize data findings from a rigorous, longitudinal study.
Context: In 2016, a survey of post-9/11 military veterans began assessing veterans' well-being in key domains: health, vocation (education and employment), finances, and social relationships.
Contingency management (CM), an evidence-based behavioral strategy that rewards positive behavior change including tobacco cessation, is rarely offered to support people with HIV (PWH) who smoke. In this study, we explored perspectives among patients and research staff engaged in a multi-site randomized clinical trial involving clinical pharmacist-delivered CM within HIV clinics. Between February and September 2023, we conducted 1:1 interviews with 12 PWH randomized to receive CM and one focus group with 8 staff (i.

Introduction: The United Nations underlines the participation in all domains of daily living for people with intellectual and/or multiple disabilities in the Disability Rights Convention, which also includes medical services. In line with this, the German Federal Participation Act has further developed the relevant disability policy at the national level. This also implies access to comprehensive medical care.

Objective: This systematic literature review was undertaken to identify the main design features of sport-related concussion (SRC) education programs, examine their outcomes, and consider the relationship between design and effectiveness.
Design: Systematic review.
Main Outcome Measures: Studies which report on educational interventions (a dedicated in-person or online teaching session) that purport to change knowledge, attitudes, and/or behavior toward sports-related concussion.
Integrating Interpretability in Machine Learning and Deep Neural Networks: A Novel Approach to Feature Importance and Outlier Detection in COVID-19 Symptomatology and Vaccine Efficacy.

In this study, we introduce a novel approach that integrates interpretability techniques from both traditional machine learning (ML) and deep neural networks (DNN) to quantify feature importance using global and local interpretation methods. Our method bridges the gap between interpretable ML models and powerful deep learning (DL) architectures, providing comprehensive insights into the key drivers behind model predictions, especially in detecting outliers within medical data. We applied this method to analyze COVID-19 pandemic data from 2020, yielding intriguing insights.
