Researchers have demonstrated that comprehensive behavioral intervention can result in significant improvements in the lives of individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD; e.g.; Lovaas, Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology 55(1):3-9, 1987; McEachin et al., American Journal of Mental Retardation 97(4):359-372, 1993). This intervention has occurred in a variety of settings (e.g., school, home, and clinic). Even though procedures based upon the principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA) can be implemented across a variety of settings, there is often confusion about the differences and relative advantages of home- versus clinic-based settings. The purpose of this paper is to provide a discussion of home- and clinic-based intervention within the context of a progressive approach to ABA and discus possible advantages of each type of setting.

Acceptability of six-monthly PrEP dispensing supported with interim HIV self-testing to simplify PrEP delivery in Kenya: findings from qualitative research.
BMC Health Serv Res
October 2024
Public Health Sciences Division, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, Seattle, USA.
Background: In Africa, dispensing oral HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) within already strained public health facilities has led to prolonged waiting periods and suboptimal experiences for clients. We sought to explore the acceptability of dispensing PrEP semiannually with interim HIV self-testing (HIVST) versus quarterly PrEP dispensing with clinic-based HIV testing to optimize clinic-delivered PrEP services.
Methods: We conducted a qualitative study within a non-inferiority individual-level randomized controlled trial testing the effect of six-monthly PrEP dispensing with HIVST compared to the standard-of-care three-monthly PrEP dispensing on PrEP clinical outcomes in Kenya (ClinicalTrials.

Article Synopsis
- Childhood asthma shows significant racial disparities, with Black children facing higher hospitalization and death rates than White children, highlighting the need for comprehensive interventions in various environments.* -
- The study aimed to evaluate whether a Community Health Worker (CHW) intervention connecting primary care, homes, and schools improves asthma control for low-income children aged 5 to 13 with asthma.* -
- Conducted over four years in Philadelphia, the intervention included asthma management and care coordination, but results were impacted by COVID-19, leading to further analysis to assess effectiveness before the pandemic.*

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, School of Medicine, Kashan University of Medical Sciences, Kashan, Iran.
Background: Primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an effective procedure to better function and relief the pain in advanced osteoarthritis patients. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of outpatient clinic-based setting of physiotherapy versus home-based rehabilitation (HBR) for functional recovery immediately after primary TKA procedure.
Materials And Methods: This randomized clinical trial study was conducted on patients underwent TKA in 2021-2022.
Article Synopsis
- The study explored the use of the HOLOBalance platform, which employs augmented reality holograms for providing multisensory physiotherapy to older adults at risk of falls.
- A pilot randomised controlled trial showed that the platform was safe, feasible, and well-accepted, with 69% of participants recommending it.
- Participants demonstrated significant improvements in functional gait and balance (measured through FGA and Mini BESTest), outperforming the traditional OTAGO programme.
