Student service members/veterans (SSM/Vs)--defined as undergraduates in the U.S. military or who have military experience--have been an emergent group of adult learners in American 4-year universities. Because SSM/Vs diversify universities and are supported by significant public investments, their success is critical. Little quantitative research,…

Community mental health centers (CMHCs) offer invaluable, publicly-funded treatment for serious mental illness (SMI). Unfortunately, evidence-based psychological treatments are often not delivered at CMHCs, in part due to implementation barriers, such as limited time, high caseloads, and complex clinical presentations. Transdiagnostic treatments…

Background: Telehealth placements in speech and language therapy provide crucial opportunities for both learning and service delivery when clinicians, students and/or clients are separated by factors such as distance or illness.

The traditional approach of using PowerPoint (PPT) presentations in medical imaging theory classes hinders the spatial thinking ability of most students. Consequently, the learning outcomes are often unsatisfactory. This article proposes a naked eye three-dimensional (3D) medical imaging teaching assistant app based on augmented reality (AR)…

This study explored multisystem protective/risk factors for explaining resilience/adjustment in emerging adults with/without neurodevelopmental disorders facing the transition to a stressful non-academic context, mandatory military service. Participants were 904 conscripts (498 males, 55%) ages 18-25 years (M = 18.70, SD = 0.77) in four groups,…

Early Intervention (EI) aims to lessen the effects of developmental delay by providing services to infants and young children. Newborn screening (NBS) is a public health program that identifies infants with treatable conditions, although many conditions put children at risk of developmental delay even after medical intervention. The purpose of…

Young adults with foster care backgrounds also experience mental health conditions and suicidal ideation at a higher rate than their same aged peers. This study examined the…

The number one cause of preventable death in trauma is uncontrolled bleeding. Considering the burden of injury and fatality from motor vehicle collisions, accidental injury, and now increasing school shooting incidents, more should be done to prepare and protect students from this preventable cause of death. A school-based hemorrhage control…

Previous research has mostly focused on negative aspects of risk-taking behavior. However, recently two other types of risk-taking behavior have been identified:…

This study is a renewed effort for applying theory and research in Applied Linguistics (ApL) to today's healthcare needs. Previously, to analyze language use with linguistically diverse patients during the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers bridged self-assessment (SA) research in ApL to Public Health through the development of an instrument used with…

This practice-based intervention paper describes the design and implementation of a Community of Practice (CoP) intervention for hospital school professionals across three hospital sites in Saskatchewan, Canada. The intervention consisted of four structured sessions per academic year, two mandatory and two optional, offered during school division…

Of the record high 122.6 million people forcibly displaced worldwide, about 43.4 million are refugees, and an estimated 15% to 33% have at least one type of disability. Due to structural racism and ableism, many refugees with disabilities find it difficult to access vocational rehabilitation/employment resources, assistive technologies, and…

Maintaining high levels of pupil attendance, particularly in mainstream secondary schools, has become an increasingly complex challenge. Levels of overall and persistent absence (those pupils missing 10% or more of school sessions) remain substantially higher than pre-pandemic levels, despite considerable policy efforts to improve attendance. This…

Background: ADHD is one of the most common mental disorders in children and adolescents. While international research on health service utilization, barriers to care, and treatment satisfaction is growing, evidence from Germany remains limited. This study aimed to examine the utilization of mental health care services in a sample of German…

Many community college students across the country face financial constraints and unmet basic needs for food and housing, and colleges now view such basic needs supports as food pantries and emergency aid as a core strategy for supporting student success. The goal of this report is to provide clear guidance to community college leadership and…
