Summary: Young adulthood is a critical developmental stage with increased vulnerability to stress. The year 2020 presented unforeseen collective stressors to young adults in Northern California, including the COVID-19 pandemic, wildfires, social tension, and a contentious election. A study comparing young adults' psychosocial development in 2020 to a control group assessed in 2019 revealed that the 2020 cohort exhibited less adaptive trajectories of affective well-being and social functioning, indicating detrimental effects of cumulative, collective stressors on their socio-emotional development.

Summary: The experience of everyday minority stressors is uniquely associated with diurnal cortisol levels in LGBT adults, while general stressors only predict cortisol levels 12 hours postwake. This suggests that daily minority stressors may have implications for the mental and physical health of LGBT individuals.

Summary: The study reveals that over half of incarcerated female adolescents and young adults have experienced childhood sexual abuse, with most having disclosed their experiences, citing reasons such as shame and no longer wanting to keep the abuse a secret. Disclosure patterns are diverse, with some disclosing within a week and others only after a year or years.

Summary: Attitudes, social influence, habit, and self-identity were significant factors influencing the intention to consume two or more servings of vegetables per day among Nepalese young adults. Additionally, self-efficacy and habit significantly influenced the actual behavior of consuming vegetables daily. However, self-efficacy did not significantly influence intention and self-identity did not significantly influence behavior.

Summary: This study aimed to identify the sanitation-related psychosocial stressors experienced by students in a Nigerian pen-urban community and their associated impacts. The results showed that public-school students had higher levels of stress compared to private-school students, and the absence of functional sanitation facilities had detrimental effects on their health, academic performance, and social well-being.

Summary: This study examined the association between posttraumatic growth (PTG) among young adults during the COVID-19 pandemic and their psychosocial characteristics. Findings showed that PTSD symptoms and COVID-19-related worry predicted higher levels of PTG while depression symptoms predicted lower levels. Resilience and family connectedness were positive predictors of higher PTG levels.

Summary: The study found that the levels of nonadherence to diabetes management measures are similar among US stroke survivors and those who had never had a stroke, but stroke survivors have lower nonadherence with daily blood glucose checks. Additional interventions are needed to improve diabetes care for stroke survivors in order to reduce the risk of further complications.

Summary: This study aims to understand the relationship between peer support, disclosure practices, and the quality of life and coping strategies of youth with chronic illnesses. The study found that participants who disclosed the psychological impact and concerns related to their condition tended to be female and had more friends to whom they disclosed. This group of participants also experienced higher levels of illness-related stress but engaged in more positive coping strategies.

Summary: The present study aimed to investigate the impact of psychosocial factors on the stigma of mental illness among relapsed drug addicts in Punjab, Pakistan. A sample of 116 relapsed drug addicts was collected using purposive sampling technique, and self-report measures were used to assess the variables of interest. The results revealed that self-efficacy, social support, conscientiousness were negative predictors, while neuroticism was a positive predictor of stigma. Moreover, social support was found to moderate the relationship between self-efficacy and stigma, and self-efficacy moderated the relationship between social support and stigma. These findings highlight the significant role of psychosocial factors in addiction relapse.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of single and cumulative exposure to adverse psychosocial work conditions on young adults' mental health. The findings suggest that single exposure to high work demands and high-strain jobs at age 22 significantly contribute to internalizing problems at age 29; the association remains significant even after controlling for early life internalizing problems. However, no associations were found between cumulative exposures and internalizing problems, as well as between single or cumulative exposures to psychosocial work conditions and externalizing problems at age 29.

Summary: This study used a visual methodology to explore the relationship between Latinx caregivers' understanding of their children's diet preferences and oral health. Findings showed that active participation in the research empowered parents to identify strategies that could directly impact their child's oral health outcomes. The use of visual research methodologies is important in understanding the lived experience of underrepresented populations like Latinx children with and without ASD and their families.

Summary: The study investigated the validity of four-item and six-item versions of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Task Load Index (NASA-TLX) for measuring workload over a whole day. The TLX-6 was found to capture multiple factors contributing to workload, while TLX-4v2 assessed the single factor of 'mental strain'.

Summary: This study developed a composite index called GRI to assist clinicians in interpreting the quality of CGM data, based on metrics like blood glucose range, mean glucose, and coefficient of variation. The GRI consists of two main components related to hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, which can be graphically displayed on a GRI Grid for tracking individual glycemic changes over time.

Summary: A technological solution for diabetes management in people requiring intensive insulin therapy has been sought for decades. Recent advancements in continuous glucose monitoring have allowed for modulation of insulin delivery through insulin pumps based on sensor glucose data. Automated insulin delivery systems have been granted regulatory approval and adopted in clinical care. This consensus report from the joint Diabetes Technology Working Group provides a review of the current landscape of these systems, with a focus on safety, and offers recommended actions. The development of these systems has been a collaborative effort between the European Association for the Study of Diabetes and the American Diabetes Association.

Summary: This study found that acute fluctuations in glucose levels adversely affect the functioning of adults with type 1 diabetes. Overnight glucose variability and time spent in high glucose levels were linked to poorer next-day functioning. These findings emphasize the wide-ranging impact of glucose fluctuations on functional outcomes in individuals with type 1 diabetes.

Summary: Glycemic target range, measured as time in range (TIR), is being studied as a surrogate endpoint for long-term diabetes-related outcomes. This analysis found that TIR, specifically derived TIR (dTIR), at 12 months was significantly associated with time to first major adverse cardiovascular event, severe hypoglycemic episode, or microvascular event. The study suggests that targeting TIR >70% and using dTIR as a clinical biomarker could be useful in managing type 2 diabetes.
