The majority of research on substance use for this population has focused on reporting rates of substance use and its association with HIV risk and mental health. This study provides an in-depth and nuanced exploration of what motivates substance use and substance use reduction, and how substance use impacts various aspects of Kenyan GBMSM's lives. Individual in-depth interviews were conducted with 60 GBMSM (ages 20-45) in Western Kenya as part of a larger study focused on developing an HIV prevention and sexual health promotion intervention. Thematic qualitative analyses were conducted by a diverse team of analysts. Substance use was perceived to have positive and negative effects within three primary thematic areas of functioning: sexual health, physical health, and economic well-being. Motivations or reasons for using substances included coping with stigma, increasing social connectedness, increasing sexual confidence, lowering sexual inhibitions, and peer pressure. Various motivations or reasons to reduce substance use were discussed, including improving sexual health, improving mental well-being, having better sex, maintaining power during sex work, and maintaining physical good looks. These data provide a more complex understanding of the role that substance use plays in Kenyan GBMSM's lives, and provide valuable information for community-based interventions to prevent negative health outcomes from substance use.","PeriodicalId":29959,"journal":{"name":"Translational Issues in Psychological Science","volume":"11 1","pages":"31-41"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12158435/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144286646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

AYAs use social media for socialization, connection, and expression, as well as to obtain news and information. Adolescence and young adulthood also represent developmental periods characterized by the emergence of risk behaviors and many forms of psychopathology. Given that risk behaviors and mental health depictions are often displayed and observed online, social media platforms have become an optimal research tool to examine AYA behaviors that may not be visible offline. Social media platforms have the potential to increase recruitment and retention, especially among hard-to-reach, and understudied youth, and to connect AYA with resources for risk behaviors and mental health in a more naturalistic setting. Despite these advantages, the limited consensus on social media ethics across institutions and internal review boards, and the rapidly evolving features on each platform has made it difficult to develop study protocols, navigate and adapt to platform changes, and predict ethical issues that may arise in the context of research. Thus, the purpose of this manuscript is to discuss ethical considerations specific to AYA in social media research. Two research approaches, self-report and observational, are discussed with a focus on informed consent, privacy, and confidentiality. The goal of this manuscript is to highlight the nuances associated with social media research, and the implications for the promotion of ethical practices when adopting social media as a research tool to improve our understanding of AYA behavior.","PeriodicalId":29959,"journal":{"name":"Translational Issues in Psychological Science","volume":"10 2","pages":"123-134"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11784637/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143081119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aim To identify knowledge and perceptions of New Zealand registered pharmacists, who are not pharmacist prescribers, on: pharmacist prescribing roles, courses and perceived barriers and facilitators to course uptake. Methods Participants comprised registered practising New Zealand pharmacists (n = 4025), across all New Zealand regions. Invitations to participate in a questionnaire survey were sent in March 2021. Data were analysed using thematic analysis and descriptive statistics. Results The response rate was 12% (482/4025), with 94% community pharmacists. Almost two-thirds (65%) had over 10 years of working experience. Nearly all (95%) agreed that pharmacist prescribing would improve healthcare delivery in New Zealand. Most reported that barriers to pharmacist prescribing course uptake were funding, lack of institutional support, up-to-date pharmacological/pharmaceutical knowledge, and 2 years of experience in collaborative health team prerequisites for enrolment, finding medical supervisors, and lack of remuneration for prescribing roles. Discussion Pharmacist prescribing in New Zealand is still in its growing phase. Optimising uptake of prescribing courses and role requires a multi-level approach including all stakeholders. Government/policymakers should consider pharmacist prescribing training and remuneration in their funding plans. Employing institutions should provide required time and human resources (staff backfills). Training providers should consider methods of course delivery and assessment that are suitable for trainees in full-time employment.","PeriodicalId":29959,"journal":{"name":"Translational Issues in Psychological Science","volume":"1 1","pages":"324-332"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79382349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

English monolinguals and Korean-English bilinguals performed an auditory two-stimulus oddball task while their EEG was recorded. Participants heard a series of two different tones (high pitch tone versus low pitch tone), one of which occurred less frequently (deviant trials) than the other (standard trials), and were asked to mentally count the number of infrequent tones. We found that in the early time window, bilinguals had larger amplitudes than monolinguals in response to both standard and deviant trials, suggesting that bilinguals initially increased attention to identify which of the two tones they heard. In the later time window, however, bilinguals had a smaller ERP effect (deviant minus standard trials) relative to monolinguals, suggesting that bilinguals used fewer cognitive resources for the infrequent stimuli at later stages of processing. Furthermore, across the entire sample, increased exposure to the native language led to larger early, middle, and late ERP effects. These results suggest that native language exposure shapes perceptual processes involved in detection and monitoring. Knowing more than one language may alter sustained attentional processes, with implications for perception and learning.","PeriodicalId":29959,"journal":{"name":"Translational Issues in Psychological Science","volume":"9 4","pages":"409-421"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10836257/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139681615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
