Article Abstract

Background: Partner support and work-life balance (WLB) are important for families' well-being. Previous research has linked perceived family support, WLB, and satisfaction with food-related life (SWFoL); however, there is limited information regarding each parent's support from their partner. Drawing on the conservation of resources theory, the work-home resources, and the actor-partner interdependence model (APIM), this study examined the direct and indirect effects of parents' perceived partner support, WLB, and the SWFoL of dual-income parents and their adolescents, considering the moderating role of parents' gender-transcendent attitudes.

Methods: A total of 516 dual-earning parents with one adolescent child were recruited in Chile using non-probability sampling. The parents completed scales measuring perceived partner support, WLB, and gender role attitudes. The three family members responded to the Satisfaction with Food-Related Life scale. The data were analyzed using the mediation APIM, structural equation modeling, and multi-group analysis.

Results: The model fit was robust (RMSEA = 0.016; SRMR = 0.052; CFI = 0.982; TLI = 0.978). The findings showed that the mothers' SWFoL was indirectly and positively affected by their and the fathers' perceived partner support through both parents' WLB. The fathers' SWFoL was directly and positively affected by their perceived partner support and indirectly via their WLB. The adolescents' SWFoL was directly and positively affected by the mothers' perceived partner support and indirectly by the fathers' perceived partner support through the fathers' WLB. In families where the fathers exhibited low gender-transcendent attitudes, the relationship between the mothers' perceived partner support and WLB was stronger.

Conclusions: Thus, it can be concluded that the mediating role of work-life balance is significant, as it facilitates the transmission of resources within and between individuals to enhance parents' and adolescents' SWFoL.

Background: In recent years, social media has emerged as a pivotal tool in implementation science efforts to address the HIV epidemic. Engaging community partners is essential to ensure the successful and equitable implementation of social media strategies. There is a notable lack of scholarship addressing the operational considerations for studies using social media strategies in community-partnered HIV research.

Women's self-help group participation and discussion of reproductive coercion: Associations with past experiences of violence among family planning clients in Kenya.

PLOS Glob Public Health

September 2025

Division of Infectious Disease and Global Public Health, Department of Medicine, Center on Gender Equity and Health, University of California San Diego, La Jolla, California, United States of America.

Reproductive coercion (RC) and intimate partner violence (IPV) are prevalent in Kenya and undermine women's reproductive agency; community-based women's groups may offer an opportunity to address these issues. We quantitatively examined women's participation in women-only self-help groups, described discussions of RC within these groups, and assessed differences based on prior experiences of RC and IPV among a clinic-based sample of Kenyan women seeking family planning services to inform future programming. Data were collected from 659 women of reproductive age seeking family planning services at six private clinics in Nairobi as part of the baseline for an intervention to address RC and IPV within family planning counseling.

Primary coenzyme Q (CoQ) deficiency is a mitochondrial disorder with variable clinical presentation and limited response to standard CoQ10 supplementation. Recent studies suggest that 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (4-HBA), a biosynthetic precursor of CoQ, may serve as a substrate enhancement treatment in cases caused by pathogenic variants in COQ2, a gene encoding a key enzyme in CoQ biosynthesis. However, it remains unclear whether 4-HBA is required throughout life to maintain health, whether it offers advantages over CoQ10 treatment, and whether these findings are translatable to humans.
