ual risk behaviors in college students. Methods Online data were collected in 2016 from 453 US college students with lifetime NMUPD. All participants reported their (1) past-three-month NMUPD, (2) NMUPD sexual enhancement expectancy, and (3) sexual risk behaviors. Structural equation modeling was employed for data analysis. Results Findings suggested significant associations of NMUPD with sexual enhancement expectancy and sexual risk behaviors. Sexual enhancement expectancy was indirectly associated with sexual risk behaviors through NMUPD. Conclusions College students' sexual risk behaviors appear to be indirectly influenced by sexual enhancement expectancy through NMUPD. Future sexual risk reduction interventions should attend to sexual enhancement expectancy and NMUPD.<br /><br /> This article examines how program directors of substance use treatment providers in New York state form their perceptions on the overall substance use treatment service delivery capacities of newly graduated, entry-level social workers. [https://www.selleckchem.com/products/ew-7197.html TEW-7197] <br /><br /> The study discussed consisted of a cross-sectional, quantitative survey of treatment program directors in New York state (<br /><br />  = 245). Program directors were asked to rate entry-level social workers' treatment skills, knowledge of treatment concepts, and overall preparedness to deliver treatment services in the field upon first entering the professional workforce. The collected data were then analyzed using multiple regression analyses to identify associations between the skill and knowledge items and perceptions of overall preparedness. <br /><br /> The results of the study showed that five of the ten skill and knowledge competency items were significantly linked with program directors' perceptions of entry-level social workers' overall preparedness to deliver treatment services, wiat implementing a standardized training curriculum is beneficial for the professional growth and preparedness of practitioners entering into the treatment field.<br /><br /> The Screening to Brief Intervention (S2BI) tool was designed to identify substance use disorders in adolescents. We report the S2BI's sensitivity and specificity for identifying alcohol and cannabis use disorders (AUD and CUD) in adolescents presenting for primary care. <br /><br /> Participants aged 14-18 (<br /><br />  = 517) completed an electronic survey, consisting of the S2BI, the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI), and anxiety and depression screens. We calculated sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive value (PPV, NPV) of the S2BI compared to the CIDI criterion standard, using past year "monthly" and "weekly or more" consumption of alcohol or marijuana as a threshold for AUD or CUD. <br /><br /> Current AUD and CUD were present in 2.9% and 8.3% of the sample, respectively and severe AUD and CUD were present in 0.8% and 3.9%. The S2BI had 53.3% sensitivity and 94.2% specificity for identifying any AUD (PPV = 21.6%; NPV = 98.5%), and 81.4% sensitivity and 92.0% specificity for identifying anye" consumption of alcohol or marijuana as a threshold for AUD or CUD. Results Current AUD and CUD were present in 2.9% and 8.3% of the sample, respectively and severe AUD and CUD were present in 0.8% and 3.9%. The S2BI had 53.3% sensitivity and 94.2% specificity for identifying any AUD (PPV = 21.6%; NPV = 98.5%), and 81.4% sensitivity and 92.0% specificity for identifying any CUD (PPV = 47.9%; NPV = 98.2%). The same threshold had 100% sensitivity and 93.6% specificity for identifying moderate/severe AUD, and 90.0% sensitivity and 89.0% specificity for identifying moderate/severe CUD. Conclusions S2BI had excellent sensitivity and specificity for identifying moderate and severe AUD and CUD. Sensitivity decreased when mild AUD and CUD were included.<br /><br /> Pregnancy and the delivery of an infant mark a unique time of engagement in healthcare for women in treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD). The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology calls for a comprehensive approach to perinatal healthcare delivery for pregnant women with OUD in order to facilitate improved health outcomes and increase patient-provider collaboration. Yet, there is little knowledge regarding the perceptions of women with OUD regarding the current delivery of healthcare which could inform a personalized, tailored approach to perinatal healthcare delivery. <br /><br /> Four focus groups consisting of 22 women with OUD were conducted, transcribed, and analysed using qualitative thematic analysis methodology. <br /><br /> Women reported an overall lack of preparation for the birth and neonatal healthcare experiences and identified opportunities for greater support by the healthcare team. Women emphasized the desire for evidence-based preparation from trusted sources about delivery, neonatal abstinence syn delivery of perinatal healthcare may contribute to increased engagement by women with OUD, and ultimately improve outcomes for a vulnerable population.In this article, the researchers report findings on how food meanings, culture and gender intersect in the experiences of Italian-Australian women. In-depth narrative interviews were thematically analyzed using a feminist social constructionist framework informed by anthropological theories about "foodways" and culture. Three core themes were identified in the women's narratives "il cibo e' tutto, il cibo e amore" - "food is everything, food is love"; "fare la bella figura" - "to make a good impression"; and "il mio piatto" - "it's my plate". The researchers demonstrate how gendered expectations of women in Italian-Australian culture intersect with food meanings, cultural ideals and practices to produce distinct experiences of disordered eating and restricted access to formal support. The relevance of the findings are likely to be applicable to other migrant communities across the world. Particularly where ethnic communities retain distinctive food related meanings and practices post migration, that may intersect with cultural ideals venerating female thinness and the psycho-medical models and practices that pathologize disordered eating.Refugee women experience disproportionally high cervical cancer-related mortality. In this integrative review, we identify and discuss factors related to cervical cancer screening among refugee women in the US according to the Social Ecological Model. Two qualitative and three quantitative studies met inclusion criteria. Individual-level factors include English-language ability, availability, and individual knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs. Interpersonal-level factors include interactions with family/friends, provider, and community health worker. Community-, organization-, and policy-level factors include sociocultural values, transportation, ability to navigate the healthcare system, and health insurance. We discuss findings in the context of related reviews and applicability to other global settings.
