The present study investigated the comparability of laptop computer- and tablet-based administration modes for the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2-Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF). Employing a counterbalanced within-subjects design, the MMPI-2-RF was administered via both modes to a sample of college undergraduates ( N = 133). Administration modes were compared in terms of mean scale scores, internal consistency, test-retest consistency, external validity, and administration time. Mean scores were generally similar, and scores produced via both methods appeared approximately equal in terms of internal consistency and test-retest consistency. Scores from the two modalities also evidenced highly similar patterns of associations with external criteria. Notably, tablet administration of the MMPI-2-RF was substantially longer than laptop administration in the present study (mean difference 7.2 minutes, Cohen's d = .95). Overall, results suggest that varying administration mode between laptop and tablet has a negligible influence on MMPI-2-RF scores, providing evidence that these modes of administration can be considered psychometrically equivalent.

Making Video Games More Inclusive for People Living With Motor Neuron Disease: Scoping Review.

Background: Evidence suggests that individuals with motor neuron disease (MND), a terminal illness, find enjoyment and social connection through video games. However, MND-related barriers can make gaming challenging, exacerbating feelings of boredom, stress, isolation, and loss of control over daily life.
Objective: We scoped the evidence to describe relevant research and practice regarding what may help reduce difficulties for people with MND when playing video games.
REAL-TIME RECURSIVE ESTIMATION OF, AND UNCERTAINTY QUANTIFICATION FOR, BREATH ALCOHOL CONCENTRATION VIA LQ TRACKING CONTROL-BASED INVERSE FILTERING OF TRANSDERMAL ALCOHOL BIOSENSOR SIGNALS.

The utility of newly developed wearable biosensors for passively, non-invasively, and continuously measuring transdermal alcohol levels in the body in real time has been limited by the fact that raw transdermal alcohol data does not consistently correlate (quantitatively or temporally) with interpretable metrics of breath and blood across individuals, devices, and the environment. A novel method using a population model in the form of a random abstract hybrid system of ordinary and partial differential equations and linear quadratic tracking control in Hilbert space is developed to estimate blood or breath alcohol concentration from the biosensor-produced transdermal alcohol level signal. Using human subject data in the form of 270 drinking episodes, the method is shown to produce estimates of blood or breath alcohol concentration that are highly correlated and thus good predictors of breath analyzer measurements.

Background: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic accelerated development of innovative methods for conducting research remotely via digital technologies. However, few studies have examined participant technological literacy skills or access as key social determinants of brain health in aging populations at risk of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias.
Objective: To identify associations of sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, cognitive status and geolocation with digital technology access and skill within dementia research cohorts.
User-centered design and development of a web-based tool to support healthy feeding practices by parents of urban minority youth at risk for childhood obesity.

Hunter College, School of Urban Public Health, New York, NY, USA.
Objectives: Technology, mobile health (mHealth), and "eHealth" are broadly used in childhood overweight and obesity interventions. However, the impact of technology-based interventions where parents or caregivers are involved is unclear. Thus, the objective of this manuscript is to provide valuable insights about the development of a parent-child web-based tool to promote healthy eating among preadolescents.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers designed low-cost smartphone adapters for recording endoscopic procedures in otolaryngology and evaluated their image quality and usability in hospital settings.
- The adapters were developed using 3D printing and were provided to otolaryngology trainees and staff, who then completed surveys assessing their effectiveness and image quality compared to existing methods.
- The study concluded that these adapters offered good image quality and usability while being far more affordable, making them a viable option for clinical supervision of trainee procedures.
