Background: Understanding consumer service preferences is important for recovery-oriented care.
Aims: To test the influence of perceived service needs on importance attached to treatment for alcohol, drug, mental health, and physical health problems and identify the influence of service needs and preferences on service use.
Methods: Formerly homeless dually diagnosed Veterans in supported housing were surveyed in three waves for 1 year, with measures of treatment interests, health problems, social support, clinician-assessed risk of housing loss, and sociodemographics. Multiple regression analysis was used to identify independent influences on preferences in each wave. Different health services at the VA were distinguished in administrative records and baseline predictors for services used throughout the project were identified with multiple regression analysis.
Results: Self-assessed problem severity was associated with the importance of treatment for alcohol, drug, mental health, and physical health problems. Social support also had some association with treatment interest for alcohol abuse, as did baseline clinician risk rating at the project's end. Preferences, but not perceived problem severity, predicted the use of the corresponding health services.
Conclusions: The health beliefs model of service interests was supported, but more integrated service delivery models may be needed to strengthen the association of health needs with service use.

: The integration of maternal and child health services (MCH) with routine immunization is an important global health strategy, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). However, evidence is lacking regarding the best practices for service integration and the effect of integration on immunization and linked health service outcomes. : We searched publication databases and gray literature for articles published between 2011 and 2020 that include approaches to integrating MCH services with immunizations during the first two years of life in LMICs.

Many species of noctuid moths exhibit long-distance migratory behavior and have an important pollination service function in terrestrial ecosystems. (Fabricius) is a globally distributed insect; however, its role in pollination remains underexplored. In this study, the feeding preferences and inter regional pollination of adults were explored.

Cholera is linked to penury, making low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) particularly vulnerable to outbreaks. In this systematic review, we analyzed the drivers contributing to these outbreaks, focusing on the epidemiology of cholera in LMICs. This review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO (ID: CRD42024591613).

Microstructure and deformation properties of both unaged and aged cladding material were studied at 400 °C for 10,000 h. The results indicated that carbide formation occurred in the cladding material, while thermal aging treatment resulted in spinodal decomposition and G-phase formation in the aged ferrite phase. Furthermore, intensive straight slip bands formed in both unaged and aged austenite phases.

The impact of gynaecological cancer and its treatments on sexual intimacy can be profound on female sexuality. However, very few registered clinical trials have addressed sexual intimacy among this cohort. This preliminary randomised control trial (RCT) and content analysis assessed the effectiveness of a brief online mindful compassion group intervention adjunct with cannabis suppositories.
