Article Abstract
Women with substance use disorders (SUDs) who are homeless or near homeless have high rates of mental health, behavioral health, and SUD treatment needs. To effectively respond to these needs, it is critical to understand the population-specific trauma experiences of these women. This descriptive study examined the extent and nature of trauma experience among women who have an SUD and are homeless or near homeless. Results (n = 851 women) indicated high rates of trauma experience. All participants (100%) reported at least one type of trauma experience in their lifetime, with the majority (75.3%) having experienced five to seven of the seven types of trauma experiences assessed. Participants reported high levels of emotional severity related to the majority of traumatic events experienced. The pervasiveness of the trauma experiences and the related emotional impact among women with SUDs who are homeless or near homeless reinforce the necessity for trauma-informed care in treatment settings.

Background: During recovery from an acquired brain injury (ABI), social isolation is a common experience that can lead to adverse outcomes. Although social connection is known to play a critical role in alleviating these effects, the ways in which ABI survivors experience and prioritise connection and isolation are not well understood. This review aims to understand how these concepts are perceived, identify the valued outcomes, and examine the social contexts that shape these experiences.

To enhance performance, increase resilience and prevent injuries, training and testing (T&T) are the most important strategies for preparing athletes for the demands of their sport. However, for competitive snow sports such as alpine skiing, freestyle skiing and snowboarding, there is little evidence and a lack of international harmonisation of current best practices. This consensus statement, commissioned by the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS), aims to provide recommendations for the physical and psychological T&T of competitive alpine and freestyle skiers and snowboarders within National Ski and Snowboard Associations.

Background: Cardiovascular health (CVH) may be influenced by early life factors, such as adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Prior work suggests social stressors may particularly influence CVH trajectories across the lifecourse in women; however, this relationship remains poorly understood. We used data from a prospective longitudinal cohort study to evaluate associations of ACEs with CVH and its components among midlife women (mean 51.
