The impact of postresettlement stressors and access to health care on health outcomes in recently resettled refugees in the United States.

This mixed-methods study examines mechanisms connecting the deployment of economic, social, and health care resources to emotional distress and physical health outcomes. Examining such mechanisms is critical for informing strategies, policies, and other interventions for reducing health disparities and improving refugee health in the United States and other resettlement contexts. Data for this study were collected as part of a randomized control trial in a mid-sized city in the Southwestern United States.

The Relationship Between Reductions in WHO Risk Drinking Levels During Treatment and Subsequent Healthcare Costs for the ACTIVE Workgroup.

Background: Abstinence has historically been considered the target outcome for alcohol use disorder (AUD) treatment, yet recent work has found drinking reductions after AUD treatment, as measured by World Health Organization (WHO) risk drinking levels, are associated with meaningful improvements in functioning, physical health, and quality of life.

Objectives: This study extends previous analyses of AUD treatment outcomes by estimating the association between changes in WHO risk drinking levels (very high, high, medium, and low, based on average daily alcohol consumption) and healthcare costs.

Methods: Secondary data analysis of the COMBINE study, a multisite randomized clinical trial of acamprosate, naltrexone and behavioral interventions for AUD.

Morphological Attributes Govern Carbon Dioxide Reduction on N-Doped Carbon Electrodes.

The morphology of electrode materials is often overlooked when comparing different carbon-based electrocatalysts for carbon dioxide reduction. To investigate the role of morphological attributes, we studied polymer-derived, interconnected, N-doped carbon structures with uniformly sized meso or macropores, differing in the pore size. We found that the carbon dioxide reduction selectivity (versus the hydrogen evolution reaction) increased around three times just by introducing the porosity into the carbon structure (with an optimal pore size of 27 nm).
