Evidence regarding the association between adolescent internalising symptoms and school non-completion has been limited and inconclusive.To examine whether depressive and anxious symptoms at secondary school entry predict school non-completion beyond confounders and whether associations differ by baseline academic functioning.We used logistic regression to examine associations between depressive and anxious symptoms in grade 7 (age 12-14) and school non-completion (age 18-20) in 4962 adolescents.Depressive symptoms did not predict school non-completion after adjustment, but moderation analyses revealed an association in students with elevated academic functioning. A curvilinear association was found for anxiety: both low and high anxious symptoms predicted school non-completion, although only low anxiety remained predictive after adjustment.Associations between internalising symptoms and school non-completion are modest. Common school-based interventions targeting internalising symptoms are unlikely to have a major impact on school non-completion, but may prevent non-completion in selected students.

The purpose of this trial is to examine the effectiveness of a multi-component nudge intervention to increase breast cancer screening among eligible primary care patients.

Objectives: Self-guided internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT) is an effective treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD); however, there is little research investigating who dropouts of treatment. Therefore, the aim of this study was to conduct an exploratory study of predictors of dropout in self-guided ICBT for OCD. Given that definitions of dropout vary across ICBT studies, we conceptualized dropout in multiple ways: (1) early dropout (proportion of participants who did not complete the pre-treatment questionnaires); (2) proportion of participants who did not commence the intervention; (3) proportion of participants who did not complete the treatment; and (4) proportion of participants who did not complete the post-treatment questionnaires.

Article Synopsis
- The study addresses the issue of low attendance at cardiac rehabilitation (CR) by analyzing data from 33,055 patients in Queensland over two years to identify characteristics affecting CR participation.
- Results reveal that 37% of patients declined CR, 35% started but didn't finish, and 28% completed it, with age, Indigenous status, living location, and specific heart conditions being key factors linked to non-attendance and non-completion.
- The findings suggest that targeted initiatives are needed to improve CR participation, particularly for Indigenous populations and those with certain demographic and health-related characteristics.
