Purpose of this study is to investigate the quality and reliability of YouTube video contents on prophylactic mastectomy. The search terms "prophylactic mastectomy," "prophylactic mastectomy surgery," "preventive surgery for breast cancer," "risk-reducing mastectomy," and "prophylactic mastectomy and breast reconstruction" were searched on YouTube. The uploader, video content, length (seconds), upload date, number of days since upload date, number of views, number of comments, and likes were recorded and evaluated. Finally, the videos included in the study were evaluated using modified Quality Criteria for Consumer Health Information (DISCERN) and Global Quality Scale (GQS). The total number of views of the 50 videos reviewed in the study was found as 3.674.469. The mean DISCERN score of the two observers was calculated as 3.35 ± 1, and the videos were found to be of medium reliability. The mean GQS score of all videos was 3.39 ± 0.9 and the videos were of medium quality. The researchers gave 1-2 points (misleading) to 7 (14%) videos, 3 points (somewhat helpful) to 20 (40%) videos, 4 points (beneficial) to 16 (32%) videos, and 5 points (excellent) to 7 (14%) videos. In our study, we found that the videos uploaded by doctors were of good quality, the videos uploaded by health channels were of medium quality, and the videos uploaded by patients were of poor quality and misleading. The videos with health contents should be evaluated by the relevant specialists, and only useful videos should be broadcast.

Using Community Engagement to Create a Telecoaching Intervention to Improve Self-Management in Adolescents and Young Adults With Cystic Fibrosis: Qualitative Study.
J Particip Med
January 2025
Division of Allergy & Pulmonary Medicine, Washington University School of Medicine, St Louis, MO, United States.
Background: Adolescents and young adults (AYA) with cystic fibrosis (CF) are at risk for deviating from their daily treatment regimen due to significant time burden, complicated daily therapies, and life stressors. Developing patient-centric, effective, engaging, and practical behavioral interventions is vital to help sustain therapeutically meaningful self-management.
Objective: This study aimed to devise and refine a patient-centered telecoaching intervention to foster self-management in AYA with CF using a combination of intervention development approaches, including an evidence- and theory-based approach (ie, applying existing theories and research evidence for behavior change) and a target population-centered approach (ie, intervention refinement based on the perspectives and actions of those individuals who will use it).
Developing a Machine Learning-Based Automated Patient Engagement Estimator for Telehealth: Algorithm Development and Validation Study.

January 2025
Department of Computer Science, Purdue University, West Lafayett, IN, United States.
Background: Patient engagement is a critical but challenging public health priority in behavioral health care. During telehealth sessions, health care providers need to rely predominantly on verbal strategies rather than typical nonverbal cues to effectively engage patients. Hence, the typical patient engagement behaviors are now different, and health care provider training on telehealth patient engagement is unavailable or quite limited.

School of Advanced Science and Technology, Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Nomi, Japan.
Background: The worldwide rise in the prevalence of noncommunicable diseases has increased the recognition of the need to identify modifiable risk factors for preventing and managing these diseases. The office worker, as a representative group of physically inactive workers, is exposed to risk factors for metabolic syndrome, which is a primary driver of noncommunicable diseases. The use of virtual reality (VR) exergames may offer a potential solution to the problem of increasing noncommunicable disease prevalence, as it can help individuals increase their physical activity levels while providing a more immersive experience.

February 2025
Prevention Science Institute, University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon, USA.
College students use substances for varied reasons, including to cope with stress. The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) regulates bodily functions to promote energy conservation (the 'rest and digest' response), and individuals differ in their physiological sensitivity to challenge. It remains unclear whether greater PNS responses (i.
