Intimate Partner Violence and Age at Marriage in Mali: The Moderating Influence of Polygynous Unions.

Polygyny and early marriage - both prevalent in Mali - are risk factors for intimate partner violence (IPV). Relying on data from the 2018 Malian Demographic and Health Surveys, the study examines the effects of polygyny and age at marriage, while controlling for known risk factors of IPV, on the likelihood of experiencing IPV. Findings reveal that polygyny is associated with IPV.

Differential diagnoses of irritability and temper loss in a 6-year-old.

Irritability and temper loss are common concerns among young children seen for mental health diagnostic evaluations and represent features of nearly a dozen childhood mental health conditions. Thus, careful assessment of irritability and temper loss is essential for informing case conceptualization, diagnosis, and treatment recommendations. The current case study provides a clinical description of a 6-year-old Black male ("Tyler") seen in a tertiary pediatric medical center for concerns related to significant inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, oppositional behaviors, irritability, and severe temper loss displayed at home and school.

It Ain't Over Till It's Over?: Correlates of Post-Separation Abuse Among Unmarried Women in the Republic of Korea.

This study investigates the correlates of post-separation abuse among unmarried women in the Republic of Korea ( = 744). The study employs a logistic regression model to consider if prior intimate partner violence victimization, relationship characteristics, and separation characteristics are associated with post-separation abuse. The results showed that experiencing coercive control by the former partner during the relationship, initiating the separation, and having a lower income than her former partner's income increased the odds of post-separation abuse.

Factors Associated with Stalking Duration Among a Nationally Representative Sample: Results from the 2010 National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey.

The current study examined the duration of stalking episodes among a nationally representative sample. Analyses of the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey estimated if the victim-perpetrator relationship and other types of victimization experienced were associated with (a) if the stalking episode lasted over a year ( = 1,509) and (b) the length of stalking episodes, in days, for episodes <1 year ( = 506). Findings indicate coercive control was associated with higher odds the stalking episode lasted over a year and increased the length of episodes lasting <1 year.

Comparing Veterans with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Related to Military Sexual Trauma or Other Trauma Types: Baseline Characteristics and Residential Cognitive Processing Therapy Outcomes.

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) has called for improved assessment and intervention for survivors of military sexual trauma (MST) to mitigate deleterious sequalae, including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Research on the impact of MST-related PTSD (MST-IT) on men is limited, and few studies have examined the differential effects of treatment across genders and MST-IT. Additionally, studies have utilized varying definitions of MST (e.

A Systematic Review of the Biological Correlates and Consequences of Childhood Maltreatment and Adverse Childhood Experiences.

Childhood maltreatment (CM) and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are two primary forms of interpersonal victimization that have been associated with a host of deleterious health outcomes. Studies over the past decade have begun to use a range of biologically informed methods to better understand the role biology plays in the relationship between CM, ACEs, and later life outcomes. This line of research has shown that both forms of victimization occur at sensitive periods of development, which can increase the likelihood of "getting under the skin" and influence health and behavior across the life course.

Determining the Number of Bariatric Beds Needed in a U.S. Acute Care Hospital.

Aim: This project used historical hospital data to forecast demand for specialized bariatric beds.
