Purpose: The aim of the article was to examine national trends in adolescent participation in substance use prevention programs (SUPP).

Methods: We examine 15 years of cross-sectional data (2002-2016) from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health. Main outcomes were participation in past-year school and community-based SUPP (no/yes). Logistic regression was used to examine trends in the prevalence of participation.

Results: Participation in school-based SUPP decreased significantly from 48% among adolescents in 2002-2003 to 40% in 2015-2016, a 16.5% proportional decline. Significant declines for school-based participation were observed in all demographic and drug involvement subgroups examined. Youth participation in community-based SUPP also decreased significantly. However, this downward trend was significant only among younger teens, females, youth in very low (<$20,000) and moderate ($40,000-$74,999) income households and in rural areas.

Conclusions: Participation in SUPP has decreased since the early 2000s, with noteworthy declines among Latino youth and youth from rural areas and socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Background: Fibrotic types of interstitial lung abnormalities seen on high-resolution computed tomography scans, characterised by traction bronchiolectasis/bronchiectasis with or without honeycombing, are predictors of progression and poor prognostic factors of interstitial lung abnormalities. There are no reports on the clinical characteristics of fibrotic interstitial lung abnormalities on high-resolution computed tomography scans. Therefore, we aimed to examine these clinical characteristics and clarify the predictive factors of fibrotic interstitial lung abnormalities on high-resolution computed tomography scans.

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), an effective biomedical prevention intervention, is not sufficiently reaching populations experiencing high HIV incidence. Behavioral health (BH) treatment addressing mental health and substance use similarly requires increased reach to HIV-affected populations. HIV testing is an opportunity to refer individuals to PrEP and BH treatment.

Senescence significantly contributes to aging in various tissues, influenced by factors such as lysosomal alkalinization, which disrupts autophagic flux and accumulates toxic substances. This disruption leads to oxidative stress, increased lysosomal permeability, cellular senescence, and apoptosis. Similar to mammalian lysosomes, S.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are widely used in consumer products and are easily encountered in daily life. PFASs that accumulate in the human body can negatively affect adolescent health. This study aimed to identify key exposure pathways that influence serum PFAS levels in Korean adolescents, using data from the Korean National Environmental Health Survey (2018-2020) cycle 4.
