Little is known regarding sleep and baseline concussion performance and symptoms in athletes. We explored the effects of self-reported prior night's sleep quantity on baseline symptoms and computerized neurocognitive testing in high school athletes. A retrospective analysis of 958 high school athletes between the ages of 13-19 years was completed on Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing (ImPACT) performance. Participants were categorized into two groups based on self-reported prior night's sleep quantity: <8 h ( = 524; 55%) and ≥8 h ( = 434; 45%). Measures consisted of baseline total symptom score, symptom factors (vestibular-somatic, sleep-arousal, affective, and cognitive-sensory), and ImPACT composite scores (verbal and visual memory, visual-motor speed, reaction time, and impulse control). Significant differences were found on all baseline symptom factors ( < .02) and total symptom scores ( < .001) with greater symptom reporting in the <8 h prior night's sleep group. No group differences were observed between duration and composite scores of verbal memory ( = .49), visual memory ( = .94), visual-motor speed ( = .38), reaction time ( = .50), or impulse control ( = .81). High school athletes who report <8 h of sleep the night prior to baseline concussion testing reported greater symptoms across all symptom factors. Clinicians should consider inadequate sleep the night prior to concussion testing to ensure accurate, valid assessments, especially on symptom reporting scales.

Integrated Care (IC) models have increased, but the current mechanisms to analyze the efficacy and fidelity of behavioral interventions within IC models are limited. A mixed methods concurrent process evaluation was used within the context of a randomized clinical trial to assess intervention fidelity for a Solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) intervention implemented within an IC model. A qualitative content analysis was conducted to develop a participant survey and charting template for the SFBT intervention.

Unlabelled: Dietary quality may be a factor in the progression of non-communicable, chronic diseases. This analysis of NHANES data demonstrates association between consumption of UPF and prevalence of osteoporosis and osteopenia in adults 50 years and older. UPF intake is an important consideration when recommending dietary patterns for optimum bone health PURPOSE: Declining bone mineral density in older adults can result in osteoporosis, leading to decreased physical function, quality of life, and increased risk of mortality.

Objective: To assess how patient and caregiver factors influence caregiver readiness for hospital discharge in palliative care patients.
Study Setting And Design: This transitional care study uses cross-sectional data from a randomized controlled trial conducted from 2018 to 2023 testing an intervention for caregivers of hospitalized adult patients with a serious or life-limiting illness who received a palliative care consult prior to transitioning out of the hospital.
Data Sources And Analytical Sample: Caregiver readiness was measured with the Family Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale (n = 231).

Purpose: To describe the trajectories of health-risk behaviors (HRBs) among college students through four consecutive surveys and explore the relationship between chronotype, sleep duration and different trajectories of HRBs.
Methods: We used a data sample of 1,042 college students from the College Student Behavior and Health Cohort Study. Students reported sleep parameters, including chronotype (Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire-5, MEQ-5) and sleep duration.

Prior cross-sectional research established that four distinct responses to sexual rejection are associated with sexual and relationship well-being among couples affected by Sexual Interest/Arousal Disorder (SIAD). Examining these associations daily and prospectively will provide insight into within-person variations, temporality, and directionality. Women and gender-diverse individuals diagnosed with SIAD and their partners (N = 232 couples) completed a baseline survey, 56-day diary, and 6-month follow-up survey, assessing responses to sexual rejection, sexual satisfaction, dyadic sexual desire, sexual distress, and relationship satisfaction.
