Objective: Further test mechanisms of the CHOICES intervention by replicating analyses of the experiential and behavioral processes of change (POC) for alcohol and for contraception as mediators of the intervention for reducing risk of alcohol-exposed pregnancy (AEP) using data from a more recent trial, CHOICES Plus (CP).
Method: As in the prior study, replication models examined indirect paths from intervention to experiential POC for alcohol at 3 months, to behavioral POC at 9 months, to risky drinking and risk of AEP at 9 months and experiential POC for contraception at 3 months, to behavioral POC at 9 months, and to ineffective contraception and risk of AEP at 9 months. To test the temporal relationship, additional models examined the indirect path from behavioral POC for alcohol and POC for contraception at 3 months, to the experiential POC at 9 months, and to risk of AEP at 9 months. A final model tested the mediation of experiential and behavioral POC assessed at 3 months.
Results: There was an indirect effect of the intervention on risky drinking (total indirect effect = -.13, 95% confidence interval [CI] [-.32, -.02]) but not AEP via the alcohol POC. There was an indirect effect of the intervention on ineffective contraception (total indirect effect = -.27, 95% CI [-.55, -.07]) and AEP (total indirect effect = -.22, 95% CI [-.46, -.06]) via the contraception POC.
Conclusions: This study completely replicated the prior indirect effects of the CHOICES intervention on the targeted risk behaviors through the experiential and behavioral POC for each behavior. Findings support the utility of the POC for informing health behavior change interventions. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).

Evaluating digital mental health services across racial and ethnic identities is crucial to ensuring health equity. We examined how People of Color (POC) and White adults were using and benefiting from an employer-sponsored digital mental health platform. A sample of 947 adults (42% POC) consented to an observational study and completed surveys on their identities and mental health outcomes at baseline and three-month follow-up.

Exploring the components of soil organic carbon (SOC) and aggregate stability across different elevations is crucial to assessing the stability of SOC in subtropical forest ecosystems under climate change. In this study, we investigated the spatial variation of active carbon (C) compositions, aggregate distribution, and stability in Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata) plantations across an elevation gradient from 750 to 1150 m a.s.

Objective measures of oral PrEP adherence - especially point-of-care (POC) measures that enable real-time assessment, intervention, and feedback - have the potential to improve adherence. Our team previously developed and validated a novel urine-based POC metric of PrEP adherence. In this study, we sought to determine whether this assay is acceptable and feasible among women taking PrEP and PrEP providers in Kenya.

This study investigated major contributors of the particulate organic matter (POM) using stable isotope ratios of particulate organic carbon (δC) and its relationship with phytoplankton composition during three seasons across six coast-offshore transects in the eastern Arabian Sea (EAS). Results revealed significant spatiotemporal variations, with elevated δC in coastal waters during the winter and summer monsoon (-22.40 ± 1.
