Mental retardation (MR) is a diagnosis that is made with extreme caution because of the many uncertainties in its etiology and prognosis. In fact, most physicians will delay the diagnosis for months or years so that substantial evidence is available to rule the diagnosis in or out. MENTOR is a Bayesian Model for the prediction of MR in newborns that provides probabilities for the full range of cognitive outcomes, ranging from MR to superior intelligence. Using the model to confirm clinical judgment could help physicians decide when to proceed with diagnostic tests. The physician and family could discuss the probabilities for MR, borderline, normal, and superior intelligence, given the child's status in infancy and base their decision about additional testing, in part, on this information.

Article Synopsis
- Coaches have a crucial influence on developing movement skills in young athletes, but many grassroots coaches and PE teachers lack knowledge about movement competency and injury prevention strategies.
- A study involving 56 participants assessed their knowledge, attitude, and confidence regarding injury prevention before and after an online workshop, using validated questionnaires and Bayesian analysis.
- The results showed significant improvements: 34% more participants reported better knowledge, 25% showed a more positive attitude towards injury prevention, and 19% felt more confident in delivering injury prevention programs, with all participants expressing a willingness to adopt the program.
Attachment insecurity is a transdiagnostic marker of risk associated with interpersonal emotion dysregulation and adverse psychosocial outcomes across the lifespan. Few interventions target the enhancement of attachment security in late adolescence. Most programs focus on strengthening the adolescent-caregiver relationship; meanwhile, youth increasingly spend less time with their families and look to peer relationships as a source of connection, particularly as they transition to college.

Working in academia is challenging, even more so for those with limited resources and opportunities. Researchers around the world do not have equal working conditions. The paper presents the structure, operation method, and conceptual framework of the SM3D Portal's community coaching method, which is built to help Early Career Researchers (ECRs) and researchers in low-resource settings overcome the obstacle of inequality and start their career progress.

Mentoring programs are a popular approach to preventing problem behavior and promoting positive youth development. However, mentoring relationships that end prematurely may have negative consequences for youth. Previous research has investigated match-level indicators of premature match closure, highlighting possible individual mentor- or mentee-level characteristics that might influence the match staying together.

Health coaching has emerged as a potential supporting tool for health professionals to overcome behavioral barriers, but its efficacy in weight management remains unclear. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to synthesize and evaluate the quality of evidence supporting the use of self-reported health coaching for weight loss. Seven electronic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane, Psyinfo, Virtual Health Library, and Scielo) were independently searched from inception to May 2020.
