Identifying neural metrics that shape responsiveness to prevention may advance theory and inform program refinement. This study examined whether baseline brain structure moderated response to a telehealth adaptation of the Strong African American Families program (T-SAAF), a prevention intervention targeting self-regulation among Black preadolescents. Youth ages 11-12 and their caregivers (N = 170 families) were recruited in North Georgia and randomly assigned to T-SAAF or a no-treatment control condition. Allocation was 1:1 in a two-group parallel design evaluated within a superiority framework, and we generated the allocation sequence using statistical software. Because randomization followed the pretest assessment, allocation was concealed from participants and from pretest assessors, and condition was revealed only after pretest data collection was complete. Thereafter, families, facilitators, and posttest assessors could not be masked to condition, as T-SAAF is a group-based family program delivered by facilitators. We conducted no interim analyses and used no stopping guidelines; the trial completed as planned. They were assessed at baseline and approximately nine months later. A neuroimaging subsample completed structural MRI prior to intervention exposure. Analyses focused on whether cortical and subcortical structural metrics moderated changes in parent-reported youth self-control. To account for differential engagement, the intervention main effect was tested in a propensity score-matched sample of youth who received the intervention and comparable controls (n = 130); brain by intervention interactions were tested in the neuroimaging subsample (n = 105). Assignment to T-SAAF was associated with a modest increase in self-control (F[1,124] = 4.28, p = .04). Baseline anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) structure moderated this effect. The clearest and most consistent evidence was for rostral ACC thickness and caudal ACC thickness; caudal ACC volume showed the same pattern with weaker but convergent support. Across these metrics, thinner or smaller ACC at baseline was associated with greater intervention-related gains in self-control, whereas youth with higher ACC structural values showed little differential benefit. No moderation was observed for rostral ACC volume, amygdala volume, or nucleus accumbens volume. Findings provide preliminary evidence that individual differences in neural structure, particularly within the ACC, may shape responsiveness to family-centered preventive intervention during preadolescence. By extending neural prediction approaches from adult treatment to developmental prevention, this study indicates that neurodevelopmental markers can clarify mechanisms of differential response and inform program refinement.

Results showed that school-based victimization and bullying were weakly correlated; each was a robust independent factor in the association between sexual orientation and health outcomes.

However, less is known about how it shapes coalition-led implementation of opioid prevention and treatment strategies. Using structural racism as a lens, this study examines how community coalition members described the selection and implementation of opioid-related evidence-based practices intended to reach racial and ethnic minoritized communities. This qualitative study used interview data from 355 coalition members involved in the HEALing Communities Study, a community-engaged, wait-listed, cluster-randomized implementation trial across four states. Interviews focused on coalition context and implementation of evidence-based practices. This secondary analysis examined a subset of data from Massachusetts, New York, and Ohio related to race, racism, coalition context, and intervention implementation. Analysis involved a thematic approach, drawing on PRISM/RE-AIM-informed code reports and emergent coding to identify patterns related to structural racism and implementation. Structural racism was applied as an interpretive lens. Three key themes emerged: (1) Culture over Structures, in which participants often explained inequities through community culture, mistrust, or individual attitudes rather than structural racism; (2) White Residential Homogeneity, in which local racial demographics were used to justify limited race-conscious action; (3) The Burden of Proof, in which missing or difficult-to-use data stalled equity-focused implementation. Some coalitions described strategies to address these barriers, including critical dialogue, inclusive hiring, targeted outreach, and partnerships with community and faith-based organizations. Coalition-led implementation may both mitigate and reproduce racial inequities. Policies and practices that support race-conscious, community-led implementation, equitable data systems, and diverse coalition leadership may strengthen opioid prevention and treatment efforts for racial and ethnic minoritized communities.

Causal mediation analysis is a non-parametric, general technique for estimating causal effects in mediation analysis with explicit emphasis on the identification of assumptions necessary for causal inference. Causal mediation analysis is generally described for the simplest case of two experimental conditions (e.g., treatment and control), which limits researchers to splitting their study into pairwise contrasts when they have more than two experimental conditions. This paper expands causal mediation analysis based on the potential outcomes framework to include the definition, identification, and estimation of causal effects when there are three experimental conditions. Interpretations of the causal effects are illustrated with synthetic data, based on a three-arm mindfulness study. The analytical approach for calculating the causal effects with three experimental conditions is described and implemented in various software, including SAS, Mplus and the R package.
