The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a quick adaptation from in-person to virtual delivery. Not only were there few programs able to transition to virtual delivery, there was a lack of parent-focused CSA-prevention programs. The current study describes the responsive adaptation of a parent-focused child sexual abuse (CSA) prevention module (Smart Parents-Safe and Healthy Kids; SPSHK) for virtual delivery.Design and methods: This two-phase study used mixed-methods to inform and pilot test adaptations to the virtual module. In Phase 1, parenting providers with and without experience delivering SPSHK (N = 110) completed anonymous surveys and a subsample (n = 27) subsequently participated in brief interviews elaborate on challenges and needed adaptations for virtual platforms.Results: Providers indicated the greatest technological difficulties with parents' access to technology noting the inability to use a screensharing function. Thus, providers recommended no adaptations for the virtual delivery of SPSHK. In Phase 2, the virtual SPSHK module was piloted with nine parents. Results demonstrated virtual SPSHK was acceptable and feasibly implemented. Pre-posttest assessments indicated increases in parents' CSA-related awareness and use of protective behaviors.Conclusion: The current study suggests the promise of virtual SPSHK implementation and may act as a blueprint for other parent-focused CSA-prevention programs, but also more general parenting programs, considering virtual delivery.","PeriodicalId":45958,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Health Research","volume":"12 4","pages":"22799036231208329"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10605695/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71414658","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}

Therefore, this study aimed to determine the extent of SLP use among women, identify their sources of information, explore factors associated with SLP use and SLP related knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) among women in the UAE.Methods: A structured questionnaire in English and Arabic was distributed to women in the UAE. The questionnaire included demographic characteristics, knowledge (10 items), attitudes (10 items), practices (9 items), and four additional questions on SLP use. Adequate KAP scores were defined as a score of ≥70% out of the maximum score for each KAP section.

Therefore, this study examined the effects of a municipality-led incentivized health promotion program to clarify: (1) whether the average number of steps increased from the preparticipation period to the 18th month following the program; and (2) whether such increases were influenced by financial incentives.Design and methods: This study analyzed gender, age, step, and incentive type data from 5688 middle-aged and elderly participants in an incentivized health promotion program. The incentives were regional gift certificates that could only be used in local areas, national gift certificates, common points that could be used in department and convenience stores nationwide, and donations. The incentives were worth a maximum of 24,000 yen per year.Results: Both the physically active group and the physically inactive group had increased the step count markedly 18 months post-participation; however those participants chosing financial incentives showed significantly higher steps after 18 months than those who opted for non-financial incentives (time: p < 0.05, time × group: p < 0.05).Conclusions: Municipality-led financially incentivized health promotion programs could motivate increases in the average number of steps taken by those physically inactive residents.","PeriodicalId":45958,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Health Research","volume":"12 4","pages":"22799036231204331"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/8f/e0/10.1177_22799036231204331.PMC10568989.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41239754","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}

Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) is a technique in which clickshaped sounds elicit potentials that are recorded from electrodes placed on a patient's skull. Extant research indicates that ABR is frequently affected in neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD. Methylphenidate (MPH), a psychostimulant, is often prescribed to children with ADHD as a first-line pharmacological treatment. The aim of this study was to explore the effects of Methylphenidate treatment on previously observed amplitude alterations in the ABR of patients with ADHD.Methods: We recruited 32 drug-naïve children and adolescents (19 males and 13 females; mean age 11 years) diagnosed with ADHD and 35 health controls (15 males and 20 females; mean age 12 years). The ADHD group was treated with Methylphenidate, and ABR was recorded before treatment and at a steady state of medical treatment.Results: Medicated ADHD patients exhibited increased activity in the right side ABR in Wave VI.Conclusions: A significant increase in activity was found in a part of the ABR thought to correspond to the thalamic area in medicated ADHD patients compared to the same area of non-medicated ADHD patients. The results add to the growing body of research suggesting that specific ABR peaks correlate to certain psychiatric symptoms.","PeriodicalId":45958,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Health Research","volume":"12 4","pages":"22799036231204319"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10568990/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41239756","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}
