Article Abstract
We present divergent experiences of 2 patients who participated in a clinical trial of psilocybin-assisted cognitive behavioral therapy for major depressive disorder. Both patients participated in an open trial involving 2 drug administration sessions separated by one month (10 and 25 mg, respectively) along with 12 sessions of cognitive behavioral therapy. The first of the 2 patients had powerful and beneficial experiences on psilocybin that led to immediate and sustained antidepressant effects over the 7-month study. The second participant reported significant challenges with psilocybin and minimal to no antidepressant effects following the drug administration. We present the clinicians' experiences who treated both patients. Finally, we theorize and discuss areas of future research to elucidate how psilocybin can yield the greatest psychiatric benefit, the conditions within the patient that can lead to (or inhibit) psychiatric benefit, and the psychosocial environment that can best facilitate psilocybin therapy.

Background: Children in low- and middle-income countries face obstacles to optimal language and cognitive development due to a variety of factors related to adverse socioeconomic conditions. One of these factors is compromised caregiver-child interactions and associated pressures on parenting. Early development interventions, such as dialogic book-sharing (DBS), address this variable, with evidence from both high-income countries and urban areas of low- and middle-income countries showing that such interventions enhance caregiver-child interaction and the associated benefits for child cognitive and socioemotional development.

Center for Alcohol & Addiction Studies, School of Public Health, Brown University, Providence, RI, United States.
Background: Digital media frequently contains positive portrayals of alcohol content, which has been shown to be associated with alcohol-related cognitions and behaviors. Because youth are heavy media consumers and have access to unsupervised, repeat viewing of media content on their personal mobile devices, it is critical to understand the frequency of encountering alcohol content in adolescents' daily lives and how adolescents engage with the content.
Objective: This paper outlines the study protocol for examining adolescents' exposure to alcohol-related content in digital media within their natural environments.

Department of Public Health, Erasmus MC University Medical Center, Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
Background: Various media are used to enhance public understanding about diseases. While mobile health apps are widely used, there is little proof for using such apps to raise awareness of skin diseases.
Objective: We intend to develop an app, called DEDIKASI-app, to raise awareness of skin diseases, including leprosy.
Background: People with opioid use disorder (OUD) often exhibit high rates of nonprescribed drug use and low retention on buprenorphine. This study tested the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of an intervention combining peer recovery coaching and CBT4CBT-buprenorphine (CBT4CBT+RC) to reduce nonprescribed drug use and increase buprenorphine retention.
Methods: A randomized trial conducted from December 15, 2020, to November 24, 2021, compared an 8-week CBT4CBT+RC intervention to treatment as usual (TAU).
