Interpersonal violence is pervasive among youth in the United States. Sexual minority youth are disproportionately impacted. Utilizing data from the 2017 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBS, N = 12,868), this study describes the disparities in victimization among heterosexual and sexual minority youth. Sexual minority status was operationalized to include nonheterosexual identity (e.g., bisexual) and/or behavior (e.g., reporting same- and different-sex partners). Other predictors included sex (male/female), a sexuality*sex interaction term, age, and race/ethnicity. Outcomes included lifetime forced sexual intercourse and 12-month incidence of sexual violence, physical violence in relationships, sexual violence in relationships, in-school bullying, and cyberbullying. Approximately 15% (n = 1,974) of participants were classified as sexual minority youth and 48% (n = 6,213) self-identified as female. More than half (56%, n = 7,190) identified as racial and/or ethnic minorities. In bivariate logistic regression, sexual minority youth were significantly more likely to report all outcomes (p less then .001). In multivariable logistic regression, sexual minority and female youth were significantly more likely to report all outcomes (p less then .001). With the exception of physical violence in dating, sexuality*sex interaction terms were significant predictors for all outcomes (p less then .001), indicating that the risks associated with sexual minority status are heightened for male youth. This study concludes with a call for more attention toward violence among and against sexual minority youth. Although some prevention and response efforts address the unique needs and experiences of these youth, particularly antibullying initiatives, efforts to address sexual and dating violence often emphasize heterosexual contexts and communities.
An important question for oral health education is whether knowledge gained during lay-led workshops is retained and applied in daily practice. This study assessed the knowledge retention and changes in oral health practices several months after oral health education workshops were held for migrant farmworkers by Community Health Workers (CHWs).
Follow-up surveys were conducted with 32 participants 1 to 43 months post participation (60% between 6 and 21 months). The results showed a high degree of retention, in such areas as general oral health knowledge, and brushing/flossing frequency and technique among this sample. There was no relationship between length of time since the educational workshop and knowledge retained or behaviors changed.
An interactive, lay-led oral health education program run by CHWs can be an effective way to deliver sustained improvements in oral health knowledge and changes in oral health practice in migrant populations.

In recent years, there has been significant research on the mental health effects of classic psychedelic use, but there is very little evidence on how classic psychedelics might influence physical health.
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the associations between lifetime classic psychedelic use and markers of physical health.
Using data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2015-2018) with 171,766 (unweighted) adults aged 18 or above in the United States, the current study examined the associations between lifetime classic psychedelic use and three markers of physical health (self-reported overall health, body mass index, and heart condition and/or cancer in the past 12 months) while controlling for a range of covariates.
Respondents who reported having tried a classic psychedelic at least once in their lifetime had significantly higher odds of greater self-reported overall health and significantly lower odds of being overweight or obese versus having a normal weight. selleck The association between lifetime classic psychedelic use and having a heart condition and/or cancer in the past 12 months approached conventional levels of significance, with lower odds of having a heart condition and/or cancer in the past 12 months for respondents who had tried a classic psychedelic at least once.
The results of the present study suggest that classic psychedelics may be beneficial to physical health. Future research should investigate the causal effects of classic psychedelics on physical health and evaluate possible mechanisms.

This study aims to investigate the association of different risk factors including vitamin-D level with catheter-related-thrombosis in hemodialysis patients by applying data mining techniques.
This study used the retrospectively approach and was done based on the CRISP-DM framework. The data of 1048 hemodialysis patients of Hasheminejad Kidney Center whose first catheterization was between 2014 and 2019 was used for analysis. In this study, patients with a previous history of deep venous thrombosis, thrombophilic condition, and undergone anticoagulant therapy were excluded. The decision tree J48 in WEKA software was used for modeling. The K-fold cross-validation method was also used to evaluate the classification performance. Finally, the model was evaluated by using Confusion Matrix and F-Measure.
The approved model was accurate in 70.3% of the predictions, and it demonstrated an association between patients' vitamin-D range and catheter-related-thrombosis.
The results indicated that in hemodialysis patients without the history of cancer or high blood pressure, vitamin-D had a significant impact on catheter related thrombosis.
