Rapid declines in opioid analgesics dispensed in American communities since 2011 raise concerns about inadequate access to effective pain management among patients for whom opioid therapies are appropriate, especially for those living in racial/ethnic minority and socioeconomically deprived communities. Using 2011 to 2021 national data from the Automated Reports and Consolidated Ordering System and generalized linear models, this study examined quarterly per capita distribution of oxycodone, hydrocodone, and morphine (in oral morphine milligram equivalents [MMEs]) by communities' racial/ethnic and socioeconomic profiles. Communities (defined by 3-digit-zip codes areas) were classified as "majority White" (≥50% self-reported non-Hispanic White population) vs "majority non-White.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined the use of physical restraints on patients with hepatic encephalopathy, particularly focusing on racial and socioeconomic disparities in their application.
- Findings revealed that restraint use occurred in 2.4% of hospitalizations, with Black patients more likely to be restrained compared to White patients, while income level did not significantly impact restraint use.
- Additionally, the results showed that restraints were linked to higher mortality in patients without other invasive cares, whereas they reduced mortality in cases with invasive procedures, highlighting the need for careful evaluation of restraint necessity.

To resist and cope with oppression, youth of color may use the process of critical consciousness which involves understanding racial injustices (critical reflection), developing motivation to fight these injustices (critical motivation), and taking action to enact sociopolitical change (critical action). However, little is known about how each dimension of critical consciousness affects mental health in adolescents of color. In a sample of 367 ethnically and racially diverse American adolescents of color (age range = 13-17; 68.
