Background: Using data from the Rhode Island immunization registry from January 2019 through September 2022, we assessed whether adolescent routine vaccination rates are catching up on losses experienced early in the pandemic.
Methods: For Q1 2020-Q3 2022, we calculated the number of adolescents ages 11-18 receiving a routine vaccine as a percentage of the same quarter in 2019 along with the cumulative difference through Q3 2022. Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine trends were further stratified by racial/ethnic identity and by sex.
Results: Except for Q1 2021, the number of adolescents receiving each vaccine in each calendar quarter since Q1 2020 was below 100% of the same quarter in 2019, resulting in cumulative "losses" or "deficits" relative to pre-pandemic numbers.
Conclusions: We describe ways Rhode Island can expand on its existing partnerships between primary care providers, public health, and schools to address the decline in adolescent routine vaccination.

The CFH group can act as a hydrogen bond donor, serving as a potential surrogate for OH or SH groups but with a weaker hydrogen bond donation ability. Here, we describe a series of CFH group-containing moieties that facilitate hydrogen bond interactions. We survey hydrogen bond donation ability using several established methods, including H NMR-based hydrogen bond acidity determination, UV-vis spectroscopy titration with Reichardt's dye, and H NMR titration using tri--butylphosphine oxide as a hydrogen bond acceptor.

Reflective supervision (RS) has been viewed as best practice and is therefore incorporated-and often mandated-as a key feature of many relationship-based infant and early childhood serving programs. To promote the implementation of high-quality RS for infant and early childhood professionals, it is critical that a focus is placed on how infant and early childhood professionals are trained to build RS capacities. To this end, we describe Rhode Island, United States's journey developing, implementing, and iteratively adapting an RS professional development series.

Background And Objectives: Family-based behavioral treatment (FBT) for children with obesity is provided in weekly parent and child groups over 6 months. A guided self-help FBT program (gshFBT) is provided to the dyad in short meetings. Both interventions provide the same content; however, gshFBT provides this content in less time (FBT = 23 hours, gshFBT = 5.

The rise in popularity of two-photon polymerization (TPP) as an additive manufacturing technique has impacted many areas of science and engineering, particularly those related to biomedical applications. Compared with other fabrication methods used for biomedical applications, TPP offers 3D, nanometer-scale fabrication dexterity (free-form). Moreover, the existence of turnkey commercial systems has increased accessibility.
