AI Article Synopsis
- Research on intimate partner violence (IPV) has primarily targeted physical and mental health outcomes, largely focusing on women and less frequently on its effects on men or overall psychosocial well-being.
- A study involving 1,133 veterans found that while men and women had similar odds of experiencing IPV in the past year, women were more likely to experience it in prior years, indicating differing patterns of IPV exposure.
- Results showed that women experiencing more frequent IPV had significantly lower psychosocial well-being in areas like finances, health, and relationships, while similar effects were not found for men, highlighting a need for more targeted support for women and further research into men's experiences with IPV.
Article Abstract
Research on the consequences of experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV) has predominantly focused on specific physical and mental health outcomes and have emphasized the impacts for women. Fewer studies have comprehensively documented IPV impacts on other aspects of psychosocial well-being and examined effects for both women and men. A sample of 1133 veterans (52.3% women) completed two web-based surveys approximately one year apart. Women did not differ from men with respect to their odds of experiencing past year overall IPV (OR = 1.06, 95% CI [0.81, 1.38]) but were more likely to experience overall IPV prior to the past year (OR = 1.52, 95% CI [1.19, 1.95]). Gender-stratified multivariate regressions revealed that greater frequency of past year IPV experiences was associated with lower psychosocial well-being with respect to finances (β = -0.22, p < 0.001), health (β = -0.19, p < 0.001), intimate relationships (β = -0.14, p = 0.007), and broader social relationships (β = -0.17, p = 0.018), whereas greater frequency of IPV prior to the past year was associated with lower psychosocial well-being with respect to employment (β = -0.17, p = 0.002), finances (β = -0.14, p = 0.020), and health (β = -0.16, p = 0.012) among women. For men, nonsignificant associations were observed for all associations of IPV with psychosocial well-being outcomes. Results point to the importance of attending to broader aspects of psychosocial well-being that may represent modifiable intervention targets among women who have experienced IPV. Further research is needed to better understand the psychosocial well-being impacts of IPV for men.

Assessing Theoretical Considerations of Effects Within a Behavioural Obesity Treatment in Women: Implications for Medical Professional Referral.
J Eval Clin Pract
February 2025
California State University Monterey Bay, Seaside, California, USA.
Rationale: Obesity is an increasing medical issue not responding well to behavioural treatments beyond their initial weeks/months.
Aims And Objectives: Before suggesting surgical or pharmacological interventions, medical professionals might consider referrals to cost-effective, community-based behavioural treatments if stronger theoretical/empirical bases were demonstrated. Thus, evaluation of such is warranted.
Effect of psilocybin versus escitalopram on depression symptom severity in patients with moderate-to-severe major depressive disorder: observational 6-month follow-up of a phase 2, double-blind, randomised, controlled trial.

Background: Psilocybin therapy (PT) produces rapid and persistent antidepressant effects in major depressive disorder (MDD). However, the long-term effects of PT have never been compared with gold-standard treatments for MDD such as pharmacotherapy or psychotherapy alone or in combination.
Methods: This is a 6-month follow-up study of a phase 2, double-blind, randomised, controlled trial involving patients with moderate-to-severe MDD.
Examining a brief web and longitudinal app-based intervention [Wysa] for mental health support in Singapore during the COVID-19 pandemic: mixed-methods retrospective observational study.

The COVID-19 pandemic in Singapore led to limited access to mental health services, resulting in increased distress among the population. This study explores the potential benefits of offering a digital mental health intervention (DMHI), Wysa, as a brief and longitudinal intervention as part of the mindline.sg initiative launched by the MOH Office for Healthcare Transformation in Singapore.

Background: Evidence amounted early that migrants, who are often side-lined in pandemic response or preparedness plans, are disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences. However, synthesised evidence that quantifies the magnitude of inequalities in infection risk, disease outcomes, consequences of pandemic measures or that explains the underlying mechanisms is lacking.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review searching 25 databases and grey literature (12/2019 to 09/2023) and considered empirical articles covering migrants, refugees, asylum-seekers, and internally displaced persons reporting COVID-19 cases, hospitalisation, ICU admission, mortality, COVID-19 vaccination rates or health consequences of pandemic measures.
