This study sought to determine if depression and/or anxiety is uniquely related to pain after controlling for the strong association between anxiety and depression. Both depression and anxiety were assessed in an elderly institutionalized sample using: (1) research-based diagnoses based on Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-revised 3rd edition (DSM-IIIR) criteria, and (2) evaluations of one's recent affective states using the Profile of Moods States (POMS). Pain was assessed by pain intensity and number of pain complaints. A series of path models indicated that: (1) both research-based anxiety and depression share unique variance with pain, and (2) only POMS anxiety is uniquely related to pain. A path model using both measures of anxiety and depression indicated that only the anxiety measures are significantly related to pain. However, POMS anxiety sustained a significantly greater relationship with pain than did research-based anxiety.

Purpose: This study investigates mental health-related content to delineate potentially deficient topics for improvement in future obstetrics and gynecology (OBGYN) resident educational curriculum initiatives.
Method: In this quantitative content analysis, educational resources commonly used by OBGYN residents were selected based on a 2020 multi-institutional survey of OBGYN residents and informal group discussion with 32 OBGYN residents from a New York academic institution in April 2020. After independent screening, the authors iteratively developed, tested, and implemented a coding scheme for relevant keywords.

Background: Mental health problems among adolescents are increasing, and internet-delivered acceptance and commitment therapy (iACT) constitutes a possible way to improve access to care while reducing costs. Nevertheless, few studies have investigated iACT for adolescents in regular primary care nor the role of parental support.
Objective: This is an exploratory evaluation investigating iACT, with or without parental support, for adolescents.

A large body of research has evidenced different risk factors associated with the severity of gambling. However, most of the research has been conducted with a male population, and consequently it has been inferred that the female population presents the same experiences and characteristics. Research on female gamblers is limited, with the result that their gambling-related problems are not effectively addressed.
