Organic Collaborative Research Partnership Building: Researchers, Needle and Syringe Program Providers, and People Who Inject Drugs (open access)

Organic Collaborative Research Partnership Building: Researchers, Needle and Syringe Program Providers, and People Who Inject Drugs

Article reporting on the use of an organic community research partnership-building approach between researchers, needle and syringe program (NSP) providers, and people who inject drugs (PWID) in Canberra ACT, Australia. Results found engaging in relationship building around partner priority activities created mutual understanding and trust premised in authenticity of the evolving partnership. The organic approach, which included a partner audit of the research tools for relevance, resulted in high acceptance and enrollment into the research by NSP providers and PWID. The results of this study provide evidence for the benefits of organic collaborative research partnership building with NSP providers and PWID for authentic service program implementation.

Adverse Childhood Experiences and Forensic Typologies: Getting Specific about Trauma among Institutionalized Youth (open access)

Adverse Childhood Experiences and Forensic Typologies: Getting Specific about Trauma among Institutionalized Youth

Article on Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Utilizing data from 3382 institutionalized delinquents in Texas, logistic regression models indicated multiple associations between ACEs and forensic typologies in both adjusted and unadjusted models, with sexual abuse and physical abuse emerging as the most consistent and robust predictors. Supplemental sensitivity models confirmed the associations between sexual abuse and physical abuse among youth who fit multiple forensic typologies. Models fared poorly at identifying youth who are engaged in fire setting. Implications for total and singular ACEs are discussed, along with how those relate to more clinically meaningful, forensic forms of juvenile delinquency.

Neonatal per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance exposure in relation to retinoblastoma (open access)

Neonatal per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance exposure in relation to retinoblastoma

Article describes how neonatal per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance exposure can disrupt hormonal homeostasis and induce neuro- and immunotoxicity in children. In this exploratory study, we investigated associations between PFAS levels in neonatal dried blood spots and retinoblastoma risk.
