This research examines the link between physical activity (PA) and adolescent psychological sub-health (PSH), emphasizing the intermediary roles of self-control (SC) and mobile phone addiction (MPA). Utilizing the Physical Activity Rating Scale (PARS), SC Scale (SCS), MPA Tendency Scale (MPATS), and the Multidimensional Subhealth Questionnaire of Adolescents (MSQA), data were gathered from 1,052 adolescents. The findings indicate that (1) PA is negatively associated with both PSH and MPA, yet positively correlates with SC. Additionally, SC is inversely linked to PSH and MPA, whereas MPA is directly associated with PSH. (2) The analysis shows that SC and MPA partially mediate the impact of PA on PSH. (3) Moreover, both factors act as sequential mediators in the relationship between PA and PSH. These results enhance our understanding of the pathways through which physical activity influences adolescent PSH and offer important theoretical and practical perspectives for employing PA to boost adolescent mental health.

Background: Cardiac diagnostic testing continues to evolve, and controversies remain regarding the optimal utilization of different procedures. We sought to evaluate changes in long-term utilization trends for a wide range of cardiac diagnostic tests in the context of advancing technologies and updated guidelines.
Methods: Annual cardiac testing volumes from 2010 to 2022 in the Medicare Part B population were compared across tests and by provider specialty and analyzed using Joinpoint regression.
The Psychobiological Toll of Chronic Conflict: Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms, Emotion Dysregulation, and Physiology in a Conflict-Exposed Community in South Sudan.
Chronic Stress (Thousand Oaks)

Department of Psychology, The New School for Social Research, New York, USA.
Background: Mass conflict and related displacement in South Sudan has created a significant mental health need, however extant research on the impact of conflict is limited among South Sudanese people and has predominantly relied on Western-developed self report measures.
Method: A total of 195 South Sudanese adults who work in both civil society and government leadership positions participated in a psychophysiological assessment of heart rate variability (HRV) and self-reported PTSD and emotion dysregulation symptoms to participation in the Trauma-Informed Community Empowerment (TICE) Framework, developed and implemented by the Global Trauma Project (GTP). We utilized measures of heart rate variability to determine parasympathetic activity, which may be associated with difficulties responding to stressors as well as long-term physical health morbidity and mortality.
