ACS Releases Long-term Care Guideline for Survivors of Head and Neck Cancer
By Stacy Simon The American Cancer Society has released a new Head and Neck Survivorship Care Guideline to help survivors of head and neck cancer and their primary care providers better manage their long-term care. The guideline addresses cancers of the oral cavity, tongue, lip, pharynx (throat), and larynx (voice box). Recommendations in the guideline may also apply to cancers of the salivary glands, nasal and paranasal sinuses, and nasopharynx. But it does not address cancers of the brain, thyroid, or esophagus because they are very different in terms of symptoms and treatment. RESOURCES: Head and Neck Cancer Survivor...

Abstract B54: Latina farmworkers: Relationships between Pap screening behaviors, acculturation, and cultural cancer screening scales
Conclusions: The two psychosocial factors associated with lack of past screening behavior reflect the negative beliefs about health professionals among Mexican immigrant farmworker women. Despite variability in time spent living in the U.S. and scores on an acculturation scale, these variables were not related to past screening or intent to screen. Other factors, such as access to health care, discrimination, and transportation issues need to be explored in future studies to understand their relationship with low screening rates in Latina subpopulations such as low-income Mexican farmworkers.Citation Format: Lisa C. Watson...

Whats in a Name? Evaluating the Effects of the "Sex Offender" Label on Public Opinions and Beliefs
Particularly over the past two decades, the terms sex offender and juvenile sex offender (JSO) have attained increasingly common usage in media and public policy discourse. Although often applied as factual descriptors, the labels may evoke strong subconscious associations with a population commonly presumed to be compulsive, at high risk of re-offense, and resistant to rehabilitation. Such associations, in turn, may exert considerable impact on expressions of support for certain policies as well as public beliefs and opinions about adults and youth who have perpetrated sexual offenses. The current study systematically eva...

The Effect of Patient Education on Chinese Adolescent and Parental Beliefs About Counselors ’ Breaches of Confidentiality

IJERPH, Vol. 18, Pages 5501: Australian Smokers ’ Sensory Experiences and Beliefs Associated with Menthol and Non-Menthol Cigarettes
In this study, we measured the extent to which Australian smokers associate certain sensory experiences with smoking menthol and non-menthol cigarettes, and their beliefs about how damaging and enjoyable they find cigarettes with each of these sensory experiences. A sample of 999 Australian 18–69-year-old weekly smokers was recruited from a non-probability online panel; this study focuses on the 245 respondents who currently smoked menthol cigarettes at least once per week. Current menthol smokers were four to nine times more likely to experience menthol rather than non-menthol cigarettes as having favourable sensory exp...

Interpersonal and Social Functioning Among Psychotherapy Patients: The Indirect Effect of Childhood Adversity

A total of 210 psychotherapy outpatients rated their experiences of perceived adverse parenting in childhood and completed measures of psychological distress, interpersonal problems and social impairment, and internalized beliefs about self and others. Significant mediation effects were observed for two of the three belief domains: “cannot rely on others” and “undeserving.” Although both were significant mediator...

Lack of association between generic brittleness and neuropsychiatric measures in patients with epilepsy
CONCLUSIONS: We hypothesized that being GB may relate to having a personality or mindset that predisposes patients to attributing poor outcomes to a formulation switch. However, findings here in patients with epilepsy did not uncover neuropsychiatric factors that predict which patients were GB and which were not GB.PMID:35151189 | DOI:10.1016/j.yebeh.2022.108587

The views of parents who experience intergenerational poverty on parenting and play: a qualitative analysis
ConclusionThe views of parents who experienced intergenerational poverty were similar to other reported findings in parenting studies. However, the current sample differed on not seeking help for support as well as not seeing their role as playing with their children, even though occasions of joining their child in play were associated with a positive change in their relationship with their child. This has implications for communicating about parenting issues with parents who have experienced intergenerational poverty.
