The Ethics of Smart Pills and Self-Acting Devices: Autonomy, Truth-Telling, and Trust at the Dawn of Digital Medicine.

Digital medicine is a medical treatment that combines technology with drug delivery. The promises of this combination are continuous and remote monitoring, better disease management, self-tracking, self-management of diseases, and improved treatment adherence. These devices pose ethical challenges for patients, providers, and the social practice of medicine.

Risking It Anyway: An Adolescent Case Study of Trauma, Sexual and Gender Identities, and Relationality.

This article presents the case of a Chinese-American adolescent with a significant trauma history who was questioning her sexual and gender identities. The implications of the client's intersecting identities for case conceptualization and treatment are considered within the framework of affirmative practices for sexual and gender minority (SGM) clients. The impacts of stress and trauma on this client's experiences-and SGM clients more broadly-are also considered, particularly with respect to how this client understood and negotiated her experiences of relational trauma.

Building a Translengua in Latina Lesbian Organizing.

This article discusses the challenges and rewards, as well as the affective labor, involved in forging a Latina lesbian "translengua," in other words a common language in the context of Latina lesbian organizing. I explore how members of Latina Lesbians en Nuestro Ambiente (LLENA) and Amigas Latinas, Chicago-based Latina lesbian organizations, attempted to foster consensus for collective action in the face of language differences and preferences. Through analysis of archives and interviews with activists, I untangle how LLENA and Amigas Latinas negotiated deeply personal and sensitive issues around language use as they worked to build an inclusive movement.

Collectivism and individualism in Latino recovery homes.

Research indicates that Latinos underutilize substance abuse interventions; cultural variables may contribute to difficulties accessing and completing treatment for this group. As a result, there is a need to understand the role of cultural constructs in treatment outcomes. The purpose of this study was to investigate how levels of collectivism (COL) and individualism (IND) relate to length of stay and relapse outcomes in self-run recovery homes.

Community-university food projects, race, and health promotion.

Diet-related conditions such as obesity, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension disproportionately impact minority and low-income populations compared to their White and more affluent counterparts. In 2010, an estimated 18.7% of African Americans ages 20 and older suffered from diabetes verses 10.

Seeking systemic change: risk and protective factors affecting low-income urban youth.

This themed issue presents five articles tackling the topic of risk and protective processes affecting children and adolescents living in urban poverty. Through their research, the authors seek understanding of the particular challenges that low-income urban youth face, with the ultimate goal of understanding how best to intervene at various levels of the ecological system. Within this broad theme, studies examine specific stressors, mediators, and moderators that impact the mental health of youth living in urban poverty.

Evaluating a bilingual voluntary community-based healthcare organization.

The current study compared traditional recovery homes for individuals with substance use disorders with homes that had been modified to feature culturally congruent communication styles. Findings indicated significant increases in employment income, with the size of the change significantly greater in the culturally modified houses. Significant decreases in alcohol use over time were also found, with larger decreases over time in the traditional recovery homes.

Hemispheric differences for enhancement and suppression mechanisms during story comprehension.

Although readers are able to follow the goals of a character in a story, little is currently known about the underlying enhancement and suppression mechanisms that occur in each cerebral hemisphere. In this study, participants read texts that mentioned a goal of a character, which was later followed by information related to the original goal, a new goal, or unrelated information. Participants then performed a lexical decision task to original-goal-related targets, which were presented to either the left visual field-right hemisphere or the right visual field-left hemisphere.

Hemispheric processing in bilinguals: The role of shared meanings across languages and sentential constraint.

In monolinguals, the right hemisphere plays a key role when readers process multiple meanings of ambiguous words and when text weakly leads to a specific outcome (i.e., is weakly constrained).

A Review of Theory and Research on Miller's Response Competition (Conflict) Models.

This is a review of published theory and research on Miller's conflict models. The research is largely supporting of the many deductions that are generated from the postulate system, with especially extensive research on approach-withdrawal response competition (AW-RC). There is also impressive agreement in demonstrating an ordered arrangement of difficulty among the RC models [approach-approach response competition (AA-RC) to approach-withdrawal response competition (AW-RC) to withdrawal-withdrawal response competition (WW-RC) and double approach-withdrawal response competition (DAW-RC)].

A Review of Theory and Research on the Assumptions of Miller'S Response Competition (Conflict) Models: Response Gradients.

This is a review of published theory and research on the assumptions that underlie Miller's conflict models. Operational distinctions are made between single-goal and multiple-goal conditions and, within the latter, the spatial, temporal, and stimulus dimensions. Major operational divergences in research outcomes are single- vs.
