Aim: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) diagnosed in adolescence may have adverse effects on educational attainment. The study aims to examine post-secondary educational attainment in patients with IBD and how it is affected by disease severity and comorbid mental health disorders.
Methods: This cohort study used nationwide Danish registries. In a cohort of patients with IBD and matched references, the time to attainment of post-secondary education was examined using Cox regression. In the analysis for disease severity and mental health disorders, the relative risk of attainment of post-secondary education was evaluated using binomial regression.
Results: We identified 1136 patients with IBD and 8791 references. Overall, patients with Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC) attained a post-secondary education as often as references (CD: hazard ratio (HR) 1.10 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.99-1.22); UC: HR 0.97 (95% CI 0.88-1.06)). Patients with both severe IBD and mental health disorders had a significantly lower chance of attaining a post-secondary education compared to patients with severe IBD without mental health disorders.
Conclusions: Patients with IBD attained a post-secondary education at the same rate as references. Having both severe IBD and mental health disorder negatively affected post-secondary educational attainment.

Background: Research on post-secondary training for individuals with intellectual disabilities has generally focused on programs, with little consideration of the structures and mechanisms that give rise to them. This article adopts a critical realist perspective to comparatively analyse and theorise about the contextual structures contributing to the introduction of post-secondary training programs in universities for individuals with intellectual disabilities.
Method: Six stages in critical realist explanatory research were followed.

Background: There is a dearth of information regarding mpox risk perception and vaccine acceptance among people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), especially in countries with a dual burden of HIV and mpox, such as Nigeria.
Methods: We used an explanatory mixed methods design and structured questionnaires administered to a clinic-based sample of people living with HIV (n=430), followed by in-depth interviews with a purposive subsample (n=20). Data were analysed using binary logistic regression and the framework approach.
