Mixed methods research (MMR) has been proposed as one potential remedy for the persistent research-to-practice gap in school psychology. This commentary underscores MMR's promise in producing research that can bridge this divide while emphasizing the ongoing need for more exemplary MMR studies within the school psychology literature. We propose Rogers (1995) model of innovation adoption as a framework for understanding why MMR remains underutilized in school psychology research. Factors such as the complexity of well-executed MMR research and the limited MMR expertise within the school psychology field are discussed. The willingness of the field to address these challenges and embrace MMR more fully is pivotal to the future of school psychology research. This commentary invites examination of these issues to help propel school psychology towards greater integration of research and practice.

Among contributors to diffusible signaling are portal systems which join two capillary beds through connecting veins. Portal systems allow diffusible signals to be transported in high concentrations directly from one capillary bed to the other without dilution in the systemic circulation. Two portal systems have been identified in the brain.

Background: Depression that occurs in pregnancy or postpartum (perinatal depression) impacts 1 in 5 mothers, yet access to effective and high-quality preventative interventions remains elusive for most. Digital interventions are a promising solution to this treatment gap because of the ubiquity of mobile devices and internet access. The Mothers and Babies Online Course (eMB) is an online adaptation of Mothers and Babies, an evidence-based preventative program for postpartum depression.

Gambling, though a popular social activity, can lead to addiction and cause significant harm. This study aimed to explore the experiences of 36 low-to-moderate risk gamblers (PGSI score 0-7; 31 male, 5 female; 10 per each intervention arm, 6 per control group) in the 'EROGamb 2.0' feasibility trial ( = 168).
