We present a cross-sectional analysis of 1391 outpatients and 280 inpatients participating in subprojects of the Research Training Group POKAL, of whom 1609 had a PHQ-9 score ≥ 5 and 62 reported depression with antidepressant use. Antidepressant use was lower among outpatients than inpatients (28.5% vs. 82.5%), with higher levels of SSRI monotherapy (44.1% vs. 25.5%). Of antidepressant users, 80.1% had potentially inadequate treatment response, 21.7% high-risk use and of those with severe symptoms, 42.1% were potentially undertreated. Key risk factors were higher anxiety levels (for inadequate treatment response) and polypharmacy (for high-risk use), while previous depressive episode was protective against potential undertreatment.

Background: Online research studies enable engagement with more Black cisgender women in health-related research. However, fraudulent data collection responses in online studies raise important concerns about data integrity, particularly when incentives are involved.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the strengths and limitations of fraud deterrence and detection procedures implemented in an incentivized, cross-sectional, online study about HIV prevention and sexual health with Black cisgender women living in Texas.

Background: Secondary use of routinely collected health care data has great potential benefits in epidemiological studies primarily due to the large scale of preexisting data.
Objective: This study aimed to engage respondents with and without a history of self-harm, gain insight into their views on the use of their data for research, and determine whether there were any differences in opinions between the 2 groups.
Methods: We examined young people's views on the use of their routinely collected data for mental health research through a web-based survey, evaluating any differences between those with and without a history of self-harm.

Introduction: Family history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease, and the risk increases with number of family members affected. It offers insights into shared genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors that influence heart disease risk. In this study, we aimed to estimate the association of family history of CVD and its risk factors, as well as the number of affected parents or siblings, with the prevalence of major cardiometabolic risk factors (CRFs) such as hypertension, dysglycemia, dyslipidemia and obesity in a sample of young adults.

Background: COVID-19 still poses a major public health challenge worldwide and vaccination remains one of the major interventions to control the disease. Different types of vaccines approved by the World Health Organization (WHO) are currently in use across the world to protect against the disease. This study assessed the prevalence and pattern of adverse events following immunization (AEFI) after receiving COVID-19 vaccine (the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine) among the adult population in Sokoto metropolis, North-west, Nigeria.

Objectives: To develop a deep learning (DL) model based on ultrasound (US) images of lymph nodes for predicting cervical lymph node metastasis (CLNM) in postoperative patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC).
Methods: Retrospective collection of 352 lymph nodes from 330 patients with cytopathology findings between June 2021 and December 2023 at our institution. The database was randomly divided into the training and test cohort at an 8:2 ratio.
