Factors associated with pregnancy among adolescents in low-income and lower middle-income countries: a systematic review
Conclusions In resource-constrained countries, as in well-resourced countries, low socioeconomic position appears to increase the risk of pregnancy among adolescents. Additional risks specific to these contexts include cultural traditions such as early marriage and inaccurate beliefs about contraception. It is unlikely that strategies to reduce pregnancy among women aged less than 20 years will be effective unless these are addressed directly.

Patients With Adrenal Insufficiency Hate Their Medication: Concerns and Stronger Beliefs About the Necessity of Hydrocortisone Intake Are Associated With More Negative Illness Perceptions.
Conclusion: Specific beliefs about the necessity of hydrocortisone replacement and concerns about its adverse effects were strongly associated with more negative illness perceptions. These specific beliefs differed, depending on the etiology of AI. These results need to be taken into account in the treatment of patients with AI and may serve to enable the development of psychosocial education/self-management programs aiming at improving quality of life.

More concerns and stronger beliefs about the necessity of medication in patients with acromegaly are associated with negative illness perceptions and impairment in quality of life.
CONCLUSION: Negative medication beliefs were related to more negative illness perceptions and worse disease-specific QoL. Patients receiving medical treatment for acromegaly tend to perceive a more chronic timeline of their disease, compared to patients with remission without medical treatment. These psychological factors need to be taken into account when treating patients and developing a psychosocial education program aiming to improve QoL.

Effectiveness of a group-based intervention to change medication beliefs and improve medication adherence in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: A randomized controlled trial
Conclusion: This trial did not demonstrate superiority of our intervention over the control arm in changing beliefs about medication or in improving medication adherence over time.Practice implications: Absent intervention effects might have been due to, amongst others, selection bias and a suboptimal treatment integrity level. Hence, targeting beliefs about medication in clinical practice should not yet be ruled out.

Libyan Healthcare Professionals ’, Patients’ and Caregivers’ Perceptions and Religious Beliefs about Cancer Pain and its Management: A Descriptive Qualitative Study

IJERPH, Vol. 19, Pages 1783: Coping with Trauma and Symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: Exploring Intentions and Lay Beliefs about Appropriate Strategies among Asylum-Seeking Migrants from Sub-Saharan Africa in Germany
a Mewes Asylum-seekers are at high risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to frequent exposure to trauma. We investigated the coping intentions and lay beliefs about appropriate coping strategies among asylum-seekers from Sub-Saharan Africa in Germany. The study applied a methodological triangulation strategy with a vignette describing symptoms of PTSD. In a quantitative part, asylum-seekers (n = 119) that were predominantly from Eritrea (n = 41), Somalia (n = 36), and Cameroon (n = 25), and a native comparison sample (n = 120) responded to questionnaires assessing coping, traumatic events, and po...

Abstract B76: Optimism and barriers to colonoscopy in low-income Latinos at average risk for colorectal cancer
Conclusions: Optimism appears to have a negative relationship with both components of distress: fear and worry; while fatalism is only positively correlated with worry but not fear. In addition, individuals with family history of any cancer type experience greater CRC distress. Interventions that promote optimistic beliefs may be able to reduce both level of fear and worry among Latinos referred for colonoscopy and potentially have a positive effect on screening outcomes.Citation Format: Elizaveta Efuni, Lina Jandorf, Cristina Villagra, Gary Winkel, Tatiana Starr, Katherine N.
