Addressing complex chronic disease prevention, like childhood obesity, requires a multi-level, multi-component culturally relevant approach with broad reach. Models are lacking to guide fidelity monitoring across multiple levels, components, and sites engaged in such interventions. The aim of this study is to describe the fidelity-monitoring approach of The Children's Healthy Living (CHL) Program, a multi-level multi-component intervention in five Pacific jurisdictions. A fidelity-monitoring rubric was developed. About halfway during the intervention, community partners were randomly selected and interviewed independently by local CHL staff and by Coordinating Center representatives to assess treatment fidelity. Ratings were compared and discussed by local and Coordinating Center staff. There was good agreement between the teams (Kappa = 0.50, p < 0.001), and intervention improvement opportunities were identified through data review and group discussion. Fidelity for the multi-level, multi-component, multi-site CHL intervention was successfully assessed, identifying adaptations as well as ways to improve intervention delivery prior to the end of the intervention.

Theory of Mind (ToM) disturbances are recognized as a hallmark of several neurological conditions including multiple sclerosis (MS). People with MS show lower ToM competencies compared to healthy controls (HC) from the earliest stages of the disease. However, the nature of this disturbance is still under investigation.

American Indians (AIs) experience continued disparities in incidence, mortality, and survival on cancers responsive to early screening in the USA. In New Mexico, AIs compared with other racial/ethnic populations are substantially less likely to adhere to recommended screening guidelines. Our study focuses on increasing cancer awareness using culturally, linguistically, and health literacy appropriate informational materials.

Article Synopsis
- A standardized model for quality control in traditional prescriptions like Sanshengyin (SSY) is essential, leading to the development of a comprehensive "three-in-one" fingerprint evaluation system for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).
- The study employed a five-wavelength high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) technique and a quantification method to create a unified analytical strategy, enabling differentiation of sample grades and identification of quality markers.
- A correlation analysis was conducted to link the quality markers with overall quality, while also assessing antioxidant activity and fingerprint profiles to identify potential bioactive compounds, promoting a cost-effective method for enhancing TCM quality standardization in medical settings.
Hierarchical Assembly of Ternary MOF-Derived Sandwich Composites for High-Efficiency Tunable Electromagnetic Wave Absorption.

Article Synopsis
- * Single metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) struggle to provide efficient EMW absorption across a wide frequency range due to their limitations in properties and structure.
- * A new "sandwich-like" ternary MOF composite has been developed, which transforms into nitrogen-doped porous carbon with added metals and carbon nanotubes, significantly improving EMW absorption and expanding the effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) to between 6.1-18 GHz, with notable reflection loss values.
To what extent could eliminating racial discrimination reduce inequities in mental health and sleep problems among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children? A causal mediation study.

Article Synopsis
- Racism significantly contributes to health disparities among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, particularly affecting their mental health and sleep issues.
- Analysis of data from the Speak Out Against Racism (SOAR) and the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC) revealed that these children face higher rates of mental health (40.1% vs. 13.5%) and sleep problems (28.5% vs. 18.4%) compared to Anglo-European peers.
- The study suggests that removing interpersonal racial discrimination could substantially decrease these health inequities, with potential reductions of up to 42.4% in mental health issues and 48.5% in sleep problems among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children.
