Article Abstract
Existing models of social control explaining how interpersonal influence is associated with behavioral and psychological outcomes show mixed empirical support. This research investigated psychological mechanisms linking weight-related social control (WRSC) to behavioral and psychological outcomes through two cross-sectional preregistered studies with U.S. adults recruited via CloudResearch Connect (combined = 965). We used path analysis to develop and test a model examining how positive and negative WRSC relate to validated measures of exercise, dietary quality, drive for thinness, and bulimic tendencies, with psychological distress and body dissatisfaction as mediators. Negative WRSC consistently predicted outcomes through psychological distress, while its relationship with body dissatisfaction showed some sensitivity to outliers. Positive WRSC predicted both increased exercise and drive for thinness through direct pathways. These findings extend existing social control models by demonstrating distinct mechanisms linking positive and negative WRSC to behavioral and psychological outcomes.

Background: Little is documented on key community-based One Health (OH) approach implementation, pro-activeness and effectiveness of interactions and strategies against Mpox outbreak public health emergency in international concern (PHEIC) in various African countries in order to stamp out the persisting Mpox outbreak threat and burden. Prioritizing critical community-based interventions and lessons learned from previous COVID-19, Mpox, Ebola, COVID-19, Rift Valley Fever and Marburg virus outbreaks revealed critical shortcomings in funding, surveillance, and community engagement that plague public health initiatives across the continent. The article provides critical insights and benefits of community-based One Health approaches implementation against Mpox outbreak management in Africa.

Background: Although current evidence supports the effectiveness of social norm feedback (SNF) interventions, their sustained integration into primary care remains limited. Drawing on the elements of the antimicrobial SNF intervention strategy identified through the Delphi-based evidence applicability evaluation, this study aims to explore the barriers and facilitators to its implementation in primary care institutions, thereby informing future optimization.
Methods: Based on the five domains of the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), we developed semi-structured interview and focus group discussion guides.

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) microvascular complications are a major public health issue that disproportionately affects racial/ethnic minorities in the US. We aimed to address the limited understanding of racial/ethnic disparities in the longitudinal natural history of microvascular complications over eight years among older adults with T2DM in the US and Canada.
Methods: From 10,251 participants in the Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD) (2003-2009) trial, we derived 6323 participants.
