Summary: It is important to differentiate between investigating symptoms and screening for diseases, taking into consideration the performance characteristics of tests for symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals at different risk levels. Positive test results should be followed up with patient education and care. Screening should benefit individuals and disease treatment should be in their best interests.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to assess clinical dental hygienists' knowledge, beliefs, and intentions regarding asking adolescents about electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) use. The results showed that most participants had favorable behavioral beliefs towards asking about ENDS use among adolescents, but more support from dentists/supervisors and training on prevention and cessation guidelines for ENDS are needed.

Summary: The unsuccessful attempt to add a citizenship question to the 2020 US Census has raised concerns about citizenship questions on other surveys. Researchers have found a rise in non-response in the Current Population Survey (CPS). This study examines the impact of the CPS citizenship question added in 1994 on refusals, revealing a higher refusal rate in states with a larger non-citizenship population and a significant increase in refusals due to the redesign. The results suggest that the citizenship question disproportionately affects non-citizens and Hispanics, threatening the representativeness of the survey.

Summary: This study found that doctors tend to frame questions about self-harm towards a 'no' response, amalgamate questions around self-harm and suicide, and limit dialogue around patients' experiences and concerns. To improve discussions, asking about self-harm and suicide separately, encouraging discussion when responses are ambiguous, and validating distressing thoughts are recommended.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the relationship between sustainable and healthy food shopping behavior and general motivation compared to immediate intentions. The results showed that the intention to shop healthy food was higher than the intention to shop in a sustainable way. A significant intention-action gap was observed for both health and sustainability grocery shopping.

Summary: Less than half of US parents are likely to have their children receive a COVID-19 vaccine, with concerns mainly focused on vaccine safety and side effects. Pediatric health care providers play a crucial role in promoting and administering COVID-19 vaccination for children.

Summary: The study finds that when recommenders' recommendations are rejected, they are less likely to repurchase or choose the recommended product in the future. This is because recommenders question their knowledge about the product, especially when the recommendee is a close other. This rejected recommendation effect is distinct from social proof and can cause consumers to shift away from a product despite having felt positively about it.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted cancer screening globally in 2020, potentially leading to changes in public attitudes towards screening. However, a study in the UK found that the majority still intended to participate in cervical and colorectal cancer screening following the first national lockdown. Previous non-participation was the strongest predictor of low intentions for screening, but as screening services recover, intentions to participate in future screening remain high and are strongly associated with previous engagement. Participants expressed concerns about visiting healthcare settings but were keen to participate once screening programmes resumed.

Summary: This study investigated the associations of students' perceptions of the negative aspects of task engagement, known as cost, with self-efficacy and task value in predicting outcomes related to students' learning behavior. The results showed that cost negatively influenced students' course performance and interacted with task value in predicting avoidance intentions. This highlights the importance of including cost in the expectancy-value framework to better understand students' motivational dynamics in school.

Summary: The item development and cognitive evaluation process was used to create the Prevention of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Bladder Health Instrument (PLUS-BHI). Findings revealed challenges in bladder health measurement due to lack of awareness of normal function, importance of self-management strategies, and tendency to overlook infrequent lower urinary tract symptoms.

Summary: This study aimed to define normative reference ranges for noninvasive tests of bladder function in healthy, asymptomatic girls and adolescents. A meta-analysis of ten studies showed pooled mean estimates for several bladder function parameters, but due to the limited number of included studies and wide age ranges of participants, generalization of reference values to all healthy girls is not possible. Further research is needed to determine normative reference values within specific age groups.

Summary: This study aims to understand the distribution of bladder health and the factors that promote bladder health and prevent LUTS in women. It is a population-based longitudinal cohort study conducted in the United States, involving community-dwelling women. Data collection includes self-administered surveys and objective measures. The findings will contribute to the development of interventions for bladder health promotion and LUTS prevention in women.

Summary: We conducted a survey to understand the impact of different fielding modes on the response rate among public health alumni. The paper survey and mobile invitations resulted in the highest response rates, followed by email and postcard push-to-web. Factors such as recent engagement with alumni relations, paper survey invitation or mode switch, and recent graduation were associated with a higher likelihood of response. These findings are valuable for schools and programs of public health seeking to gather information from their alumni.

Summary: An online survey tool has been developed to accurately and longitudinally track youth sports participation and injury occurrence. This tool captures sports participation, frequency, level of competition, and tracks injury occurrence. Longitudinal measurement of sports participation using this tool, enhanced by swimmer plots for data visualization, is feasible for evaluating the impact of early sports specialization on injury.
