AI Article Synopsis
- * A study involving 2,239 rural minors found that general children showed significantly better attitudes, skills, and habits across different SFL sub-dimensions as they aged, while left-behind minors did not experience similar positive trends.
- * Family environment factors, such as parental support and available sporting goods, significantly impact the SFL of left-behind minors, with younger children being less affected by their family environment compared to older children.
Article Abstract
There are a large number of 6.97 million left-behind children in China at the end of August 2018. Left-behind children exhibit many psychologically unhealthy behavioural disorders. This study aimed to compare the differences in scientific fitness literacy (SFL) between rural left-behind and general minors, and to analyze the factors affecting the SFL of left-behind minors in the family environment. A random stratified sampling was conducted among minors aged 3-18 in rural areas of China, and 2239 valid samples were obtained. The questionnaire is based on the SFL part and the family environment part of the China National Fitness Activity Status Survey, except for the SFL part of the children's questionnaire does not contain the attitude dimension, the questionnaires of several other age groups contain three dimensions: attitude, skills, and habits. The SFL of general children and adolescents was higher than that of left-behind children and adolescents, and in the sub-dimensions, children's attitudes and adolescents' skills and habits differed greatly, with the general minors having better performance. The SFL showed a significant increasing trend with age in the general minors but the difference between children and adolescents in the left-behind minors was not significant. The scores of habituation in left-behind minors increased with age group, and the scores of the general minors group did not vary much between age groups. In the multiple regression analysis for the left-behind minors, it was found that left-behind young children were less influenced by family environment on SFL score, and children's SFL was more influenced by family environment. A separate analysis of the 7-9 and 10-12-year-old groups revealed that factors such as parental support and encouragement influenced SFL with different weights, and the importance of parents rotated, while the number of sporting goods in the family was important in all four age models. For the left-behind minors with a large amount in China, the role of the family environment in their SFL cannot be ignored, and the promotion of this literacy should be carried out in a targeted manner.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the impact of race, sex, comorbidities, and Medicaid status on health outcomes for patients with hard-to-heal venous leg ulcers (VLUs), comparing Medicare-only beneficiaries to Medicare/Medicaid dual-enrollees from October 2015 to October 2019.
- Using Medicare claims data, the research focused on treatment methods, demographic comparisons, and quantified outcomes like ulcer closure time and quality of life metrics, finding notable differences between the two groups.
- Results showed that dual-enrollees had a higher burden of comorbidities, greater representation from minority backgrounds, and significantly increased rates of emergency visits and cellulitis compared to Medicare-only enrollees, with early use of certain
Social disparities on PrEP use and awareness among sexual and gender minorities using smartphones in India.

Article Synopsis
- Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is an effective method for preventing HIV, but in India, where private healthcare dominates, there's a lack of information on who is benefiting from it.
- A study used the Grindr app to survey sexual and gender minorities in India, revealing that only 30.3% were aware of PrEP and just 3.1% were currently using it, with awareness and use linked to socio-behavioral factors.
- The findings indicate low overall awareness and use of PrEP, particularly among lower-income groups, suggesting that integrating PrEP into government and NGO programs could help increase its adoption and combat HIV.
Interrogating the effectiveness of service engagement for underserved populations in complex health and social care systems: towards an equitable engagement strategy.

There are increased sector-wide efforts within health and social care systems to engage those with lived experience in service design, delivery, and monitoring - aiming to secure more equitable health outcomes. However, critical knowledge gaps persist around how national whole-system engagement strategies can account for the challenges experienced by populations that encounter exclusion within complex multi-layered systems. This includes a failure to delineate shared challenges across groups, and to develop transferable cross-group frameworks to assist sector-wide change.

Background: Current educational policies for children involved with the Child Protective Services (CPS) system focus largely on the minority of children currently in or aging out of foster care, and target school stability and college access.
Objective: The present study investigates the nature of secondary (high school) education performance and attainment and post-secondary (college) enrollment among youth with prior or current CPS contact and their low-income, but not CPS-contacted, peers.
Method: Following a cohort of over 63,000 high school students in Wisconsin, we use CPS investigation and placement records, and public school records to evaluate associations between CPS involvement and educational attainment.
