Prior research has shown conflicting findings on decision-making differences between autistic and non-autistic individuals. To address this issue, we applied the Ultimatum Dictator Games to examine explicit measures (probability of endorsing monetary offers) implicit (response times) associated with behaviors. By analyzing response times, aimed determine whether decisions were intuitive (rapid) or deliberative (slower) reasoning processes. In addition, administered an executive functions...

Abstract Increasing rhetoric regarding the common intersection of autism and gender diversity has resulted in legislation banning autistic transgender youth from accessing standard care supports, as well legislative efforts all part justified by proportional over‐occurrence autism. Yet, no study investigated whether non‐autistic present fundamentally different gender‐related phenotypes. To address this gap, we extensively characterized autism, diversity, sexuality among binary ( N = 66, M...

Primary liver cancer is a significant cause of cancer-related death in both the United States and world at large. Hepatocellular carcinoma comprises 90% these primary cancers has numerous known etiologies. Evaluation identified etiologies other traditional risk factors cannot explain high incidence rates hepatocellular Texas.

Asthma is a serious, sometimes fatal condition, in which attacks vary severity, potentially requiring emergency medical services (EMS) ambulance treatment. A portion of asthma EMS treatment may be prevented with improved education and access to care. The aim this study was identify areas the city high rates utilization for treatment, demographics, socio-economic status, time day associated these rates, better target future interventions prevent emergencies reduce cost.A cross-sectional...

Societal Impact Statement Planting trees is considered an effective method for climate change adaptation and mitigation. This framework provides a replicable blueprint to improve health, urban heat, flooding, air pollution via multisectoral, collaborative, environmental data‐driven approach. Native tree species with targeted ecosystem services are selected, sites strategically identified based on health benefits, the intent of engaging community involvement through education large‐scale...

Houston policy is to dual dispatch medically trained firefighters, in addition emergency medical services (EMS) units out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) cases. While believed improve public health outcomes, no research exists supporting the that when firefighters respond before a better-equipped EMS unit, they increase probability of survival.To inform decisions regarding effectiveness by determining impact firefighter on return spontaneous circulation (ROSC), measure survivability, OHCA...

Objective Sexual and gender minority (SGM) stigmatization is a key factor related to transgender adolescent mental health. While previous research has focused on direct associations between health, the present study of youth, equitably recruited across autism spectrum, examines cognitive developmental factors in relation self-report experienced perceived SGM stigmatization.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND Rates of uncontrolled asthma vary by demographics, space, and time. This article uses data on ambulance‐treated attacks in children to analyze these variations so that school districts can improve their management interventions. METHODS Incidence rates 1826 for aged 5‐18 years were calculated zones elementary, middle, high schools the Houston (Texas) Independent School District (HISD). Zones with upper quartile identified as highest rate compared other district location,...

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Childhood psychopathology is a worsening public health crisis leading to negative life outcomes, including self-harm and suicide. Difficulty in self-control as early 3 years old predicts psychopathology, but the mediating mechanisms of brain function are unknown. Here, we tested one mechanism: functional connectivity (FC) integration. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We studied sample 204 children [53 F/149 M/2 NC; mean age (SD)=11 (1.7)] with diverse difficulties (e.g., attention...

The purpose of this needs assessment was to study the current state asthma management in high-risk children Houston, Texas inform a theory-based approach improving management. mixed-method included multi-sectoral survey, quantitative, and geospatial data that address range social community factors family, community, home, medical contexts. Houston Emergency Medical Services (EMS) provided ambulance-treated mapped by geographic area identify where childhood weakest. Children’s Health Plan...

Os estereótipos de gênero limitam as escolhas profissionais das mulheres, que crescem acreditando algumas profissões são mais adequadas para homens, e não existe espaço mulheres.
