... Stigma can also perpetuate the desire to use substances secretly and/or avoid accessing health services 26,27 or result in discharges against medical advice, which can lead to poor quality practice and follow-up. 10 Stigma can also create barriers to care and inhibit help-seeking and self-reporting of substance use, especially among females [28][29][30] and transgender individuals. 31 Women and women who are pregnant have also reported these barriers to care as a result of heightened fears of the involvement of the child welfare service. ...

... The risk of CDA begins in preadolescence and it is important to note that perpetration and victimization often co-occur (Thulin et al., 2022) at similar rates among boys and girls. Thus, in the future, it is important that research in the field of CDA emphasizes issues of gender and sexual minorities of young people. ...

... Moreover, because the evaluation factors corresponding to the establishment of AHP model are different, the evaluation conclusions will also be different. Therefore, it is very important to rationally select user evaluation indicators and evaluation factors for evaluation systems with different purposes [9,10]. ...

... 3,12,13 The national rates of LAPM contraception receipt for patients with OUD are not well described with some studies conducted in Open Access Journal of Contraception 2023:14 95-102 95 individual states suggesting rates range from 8% to 28%; however, national data is lacking. 12,14,15 Further, as only about 43% of patients with OUD attend their postpartum visit, inpatient provision (IPP) is crucial for ensuring access to those patients with OUD who desire LAPM. 12,16 Given that rates of IPP LAPM provision in patients with OUD are largely unknown, we aimed to determine the national rate and trends over time of IPP LAPM provision in those with OUD. ...

... A recent study found that five percent of men and 18.9% of women reported stealthing victimization and 6.1% of males reported stealthing perpetration. 4 In previous studies of NCCR among college students, percentages of individuals reporting NCCR have ranged from 7.9% to 21.0%. 5 In a study of sexually active young women, 19% experienced some form of reproductive coercion, with 43% of participants reporting NCCR. 6 Those who reported reproductive coercion were approximately three times as likely to have chlamydia compared with participants who did not report coercion, and almost five times as likely to report intimate partner violence (IPV). ...

... Lack of awareness, difficulties in building meaningful collaborations between professionals, and lack of insight into the effectiveness of such investments are the main reasons for not using transition clinics. It is also possible that physicians fear being "dispossessed" of their patients by outsourcing transition services (even in part), or being judged according to the level of knowledge or skills of their patients [11], even if this reason wash not explicitly stated. ...

... This is because the concept of IPV has predominately been explored within hetero-cis-normative understandings in which adult cisgender males mostly feature as the perpetrators and adult cisgender females as the victims (Adebayo, 2019;Ayhan & Bilgin, 2021;Catalano, 2009;Lynch et al., 2021). In other words, there is a dearth of data about the prevalence of IPV and possible determining factors among couples with mixed-romantic orientations, even though there seems to be an increase in relationships of convenience, and/or marriages between a heterosexual and a bisexual spouse (Shen & Kusunoki, 2019). Furthermore, IPV is considered a serious public health problem, also among individuals with diverse sexual orientations (Edwards et al., 2020). ...

... Briefly, trauma-informed practices, specifically those promoted by SAMHSA, focus not only on treating the traumatized individual, but also changing the environment in which they live. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recognizes the need of an ecological model for preventing violence because it considers the influence of multiple systems and sources of traumatic exposures (CDC, 2018;Gultekin et al., 2019). ...

... Sexual violence and sexual harassment have become social and public health problems of great concern (National Institute of Justice, 2020), especially if it begins in childhood and/or adolescence (Ajayi & Ezegbe, 2020;Baiden et al., 2020;Ngo et al., 2018). In this regard, in their recent research with a sample of 13,052 US children and adolescents, Gewirtz-Meydan & Finkelhor (2020) found that the majority of sexual harassment victimization is committed by other children or adolescents, most often by adolescents aged 14-17 years, and mainly by acquaintances. ...

... Specifically, motivational interviewing is delivered at intake through a virtual health coach session that is based on the study team's prior work demonstrating the efficacy of brief interventions for reducing substance use and/or consequences as well as mental health symptoms among youth in health care settings (e.g., Ngo et al., 2018;Walton et al., 2013). To enhance the scalability of their intervention, their team is testing telehealth delivery (video therapy) by trained health coaches in a telemedicine hub (or at home during COVID-19). ...
