Despite numerous public health advancements over the last century, we continue to under-invest in prevention and efforts. As a result, one of most challenging aspects is prioritizing use limited resources. Building on foundation previous researchers, goal this exploratory study was provide current estimates for actual causes death, media attention, policy focus, federal funding United States. In addition, sought calculate compare research trends better assess nation's prioritization issues....
Background. Data extraction is a critical but error-prone and labor-intensive task in evidence synthesis. Unlike other artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, large language models (LLMs) do not require labeled training data for extraction. Objective. To compare an AI-assisted to traditional y process. Design. Study within reviews (SWAR) utilizing prospective, parallel group comparison with blinded adjudicators. Setting. Workflow validation six ongoing systematic of interventions under...
Context The proportion of US adolescents experiencing mental health or substance use disorders continues to rise. Pediatricians are expected deliver evidence-based screening and counseling, but multiple barriers impede implementation.

Objective: 10–50% of college students meet the diagnostic criteria for one or more mental illnesses; unfortunately, less than half seek treatment. This study assessed predictive power specific variables on students' use on-campus health resources using American College Health Association's National Assessment (ACHA-NCHA) II. Participants: Respondents included undergraduate and graduate ages 18–35 years (n = 96,121). Methods: We analyzed data from ACHA-NCHA II Fall 2014 Spring 2015....
Recent articles have highlighted the importance of incorporating implementation science concepts into pandemic-related research. However, limited research has been documented to date regarding outcomes that may be unique COVID-19 vaccinations and how utilize strategies address vaccine program-related challenges. To these gaps, we formed a global workgroup scientists who met weekly for over year review available literature learn about ongoing during pandemic. We developed hierarchy prioritize...
The public health impact of behavioral parent training (BPT) is limited, especially in underserved communities such as rural central Appalachia. To improve access to BPT this region, we completed the first two steps ADAPT-ITT framework for systematic adaptation evidence-based interventions: (1) assessing community perspectives about delivery, and (2) deciding upon a specific intervention adaptations needed increase its acceptability accessibility Appalachian counties. Guided by advisory...
Abstract Background Severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability for children. The Brain Trauma Foundation released evidence-based guidelines, series recommendations regarding care pediatric patients with severe TBI. Clinical evidence suggests that adoption guideline-based improves outcomes in However, guideline implementation has not been systematic or consistent clinical practice. There also lack information about strategies are effective given the nature...
Using differential, multivariable risk models, we assessed the contribution of substance use and stress/traumatic events to hookah among African American college students (n = 1,402) using data from Fall 2012 College Health Association-National Assessment (ACHA-NCHA) II. Lifetime was 24.8%, with 34.2% lifetime users having done so in past 30 days. Compared nonusers, had significantly higher rates alcohol, marijuana, other tobacco, drugs. Furthermore, more likely those cumulative stress, yet...
