Summary: Recent research has shown that patients are willing to disclose their use of violence to healthcare providers, giving providers the opportunity to screen for intimate partner violence (IPV). However, limited time and personnel in medical settings make brief screening tools essential. A scoping review assessed the psychometric properties of tools for detecting IPV perpetration, finding most measures to have good reliability and validity, though there were differences in how positive or negative screenings were determined. Areas for future research include sample diversity, invariance testing, and practice guidelines for implementation.

Summary: As life expectancy increases for Indigenous populations, it is important to understand what aging well means for them. Findings reveal that aging well is a holistic concept that includes spiritual, physical, and mental wellbeing, as well as connections to person, place, and culture. Personal responsibility, adaptability, positive attitude, and resilience are key factors in achieving aging well, while social determinants of health, colonization impacts, and lack of access to housing, transport, and proper nutrition can be barriers.

Summary: This scoping review examines current literature on using Twitter data for researching sexual violence. It proposes a new taxonomy for Twitter as a data source and evaluates the methodologies used. The review demonstrates the potential of using Twitter data in sexual violence research, but further exploration is needed in data collection, ethical considerations, multilingual analysis, and other aspects.

Summary: This study conducted a scoping review to examine postural education programs for children and adolescents, focusing on methodologies, key factors, and results. The review found that most programs targeted adolescents, with limited research on preschool-aged children. Follow-up studies showed inconsistent results. However, developing and evaluating effective postural education programs for young children is crucial for their healthy development and can contribute to environmental and social sustainability by promoting healthy lifestyles.

Summary: Mentoring programs in the clinical nursing context have been found to minimize stress and anxiety in recent graduates and newly recruited nurses, and improve their skills in patient care. This scoping review examined existing literature on mentoring models and programs, identifying a wide range of programs with variable characteristics. Despite differences, all the programs had positive outcomes for nurses, patients, and organizations. The influence of gender on mentoring programs could be explored in future research.

Summary: The study found that commercial industry activities have significant impacts on the health and well-being of Indigenous populations in high-income countries, with extractive (mining), tobacco, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, alcohol, and gambling industries playing roles. While harmful commercial practices such as exploitation of Indigenous land, marketing, lobbying, and corporate social responsibility were common, there were also positive activities that reinforced cultural expression, cultural continuity, and Indigenous self-determination. Few articles highlighted Indigenous involvement in the study design and implementation, indicating the need for more Indigenous-led or collaborative research on commercial determinants of Indigenous health.

Summary: The study found that COVID-19 public health measures in Victoria state, Australia, were associated with increases in the price of methamphetamine and decreases in its use frequency, especially during the period of the most intense restrictions. It was also observed that although prices decreased after the restrictions were lifted, they remained higher than pre-COVID-19 levels.

Key influences on alcohol initiatives by local governments include legislation, the composition of licensed venues, resources and priorities, and stakeholder feedback.
