Summary: Marianismo is a Latino cultural value emphasizing qualities such as interpersonal harmony and self-sacrifice, theorized to influence Latina women's attitudes towards intimate partner violence. Endorsement of marianismo beliefs was found to impact psychological distress in response to IPV among recently immigrated Latina women in this study.

Summary: IPV has a significant and widespread impact on the lives of patients, affecting their health, mental well-being, finances, and future. Discussing IPV may be daunting, but with empathy, education, and support, healthcare providers can positively influence patient lives without requiring extensive time or resources.

Summary: This study found that intimate partner violence (IPV) identified in criminal justice records is associated with an increased risk of subsequent intentional injury, including violent death, inflicted by others. IPV victims experienced lower risk of subsequent intentional injury if the accused received a probation sentence. Justice involvement represents an opportunity for collaborative prevention of subsequent intentional injury among IPV victims.

Summary: This study examined the association between past-year IPV exposure and 30-year CVD risk score among young adult women in the US. While initial bivariate analyses suggested a small but significant impact of past-year IPV exposure on 30-year CVD risk score, this effect became insignificant when important covariates were included in the model, indicating the complexity of IPV and its co-occurring phenomena. Future research should further explore mediating factors and biological markers to better understand this relationship.

Summary: The study found that early experiences of IPV were a strong predictor of later IPV victimization and perpetration. Factors such as relationship status, depression, public gay-related stigma, and substance use were associated with IPV victimization over time, while factors like relationship status, depression, public gay-related stigma, marijuana, and illicit substances were associated with IPV perpetration. Additionally, the study suggested that prevention programs should target YMSM before their first experiences of relationship violence and intervention should address depressive symptoms, gay-related stigma, and substance use behaviors.

Summary: Upper extremity injuries in victims of intimate partner violence are most commonly seen in the hand and fingers. Fingers are the most common site of fracture and the medial hand is the most common region of fracture in the upper extremity in victims of intimate partner violence. In intimate partner violence victims with upper extremity injuries, concomitant injuries and subsequent injuries are most commonly seen in the head and neck region.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between adolescent gender performance and adult intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration and victimization/survival. The findings show that male adolescent gender performance is positively associated with adult IPV perpetration and victimization/survival, while female adolescent gender performance is not.

Summary: Stay-at-home policies intended to reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2 may lead to increased violence against women, as evidenced by a significant rise in calls to a domestic violence helpline in Peru following a nationwide lockdown. These findings highlight the need for policies to mitigate the negative impact of stay-at-home orders on women's safety.

Summary: Characterizing patterns of mental phenomena in epidemiological studies of adolescents can provide insight into the latent organization of psychiatric disorders. This avoids the biases of chronicity and selection inherent in clinical samples, guides models of shared aetiology within psychiatric disorders and informs the development and implementation of interventions.

Summary: This study examined the longitudinal relationships between sleep and mood in individuals with bipolar disorder. The results showed bidirectional relationships between insomnia and depressive symptoms, but weak support for bidirectional relationships between insomnia and (hypo)manic symptoms. The strength of these associations varied depending on age, gender, bipolar subtype, and history of rapid cycling.

Summary: This cross-sectional study examined the potential associations between family structure (including 'single-parent family', 'reconstructed family', and 'two-parent family') and multisite musculoskeletal pain in adolescents. The results showed that adolescents living in single-parent families had a 36% higher odds of experiencing multisite musculoskeletal pain compared to those in two-parent families, and belonging to a reconstructed family was associated with a 39% higher odds of multisite musculoskeletal pain.

Summary: This study established an international birth cohort with 2.28 million pregnancies and babies from five countries, aiming to investigate the safety and efficacy of antenatal corticosteroids (ACS). This large-scale cohort enables the assessment of important rare outcomes such as perinatal mortality and provides a comprehensive evaluation of the short- and long-term safety and efficacy of ACS.

Summary: This study is based on the cVEDA study, which assessed cognitive abilities in over 8000 individuals aged 6-23 years in India. The findings suggest that both executive and social cognitive abilities continue to develop into adulthood. Developmental trajectories showed maturation and stabilization in increasing order of complexity, from working memory to inhibitory control to cognitive flexibility. Wealth index had the largest influence on developmental change, while sex differences were prominent in certain cognitive abilities and childhood adversity had a negative influence.

Summary: This cohort study shows that low-level arsenic exposure is associated with impairments in executive function and has characterized the underlying brain mechanisms. These impairments are exacerbated by risk factors such as poor nutrition and poverty. The study calls for reexamination of safe levels of arsenic exposure and suggests improvements in nutrition and socioeconomic conditions as potential ways to mitigate the harmful consequences.

Summary: This study examines the effects of parental alcohol consumption on adolescent and young adult children, finding that parental drinking indirectly contributes to the development of alcohol use disorder (AUD) in young adulthood, primarily through adolescent alcohol consumption. These findings underscore the importance of parental drinking in the development of alcohol use and problems during adolescence and young adulthood.

Summary: Evidence on the effectiveness of group-based Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) perpetrators programmes is inconclusive. This review identified randomised controlled trials using systematic/meta-analytic reviews and identified methodological challenges in trial design and conduct. Out of the fifteen studies identified, seven were comparative effectiveness trials. Methodological challenges included source of outcome data, treatment modality, attrition, and sample characteristics. The findings highlight the need for innovative and combined IPV treatment programmes to address associated issues such as substance use and trauma. The summary of methodological challenges will guide researchers in this field.

Summary: Using linked electronic health records, this study examined the associations between family adversities, health characteristics, and intimate partner violence (IPV) in children and parents in healthcare settings. The findings showed that 40% of children and parents experienced family adversities in the first 1000 days, and 1 in 22 of those with family adversity had recorded IPV.
