Evidence-Based Practices and Treatments (EBPTs) are recommended to improve outcomes for individuals with behavioral health disorders and the service delivery system. However, costs associated with EBPTs are frequently cited as a barrier to implementation and sustainability. This study examines the relationship between existing and new resources and the availability of different types of EBPTs for individuals involved with criminal-legal systems (police, court, probation, and jail) in 519 U.S. counties. Significant predictors of EBPs in criminal justice programs (CJ-EBPs) and evidence-based treatments (EBTs) were identified using Poisson count regression models. Similar models were used to predict outcomes related to the availability of higher-, medium-, low-, and minimal-cost programs. More EBPs occur in counties with populations over 750,000, fewer individuals receiving behavioral health service, increased funding for intensive programs, more grants received, more skilled staff, in a Medicaid expansion state, and counties that participate in the Stepping-Up initiative. Specifically, Stepping-Up participation and Medicaid expansion were the only significant predictors for medium and minimal-cost CJ-EBPs. Existing staff resources coupled with a history of prior grants largely influence the availability of CJ-EBPs and EBTs. Improving county staffing patterns, particularly through peer support and resources may increase the availability of EBP and EBTs in a county.

Current research indicates that polyethylene terephthalate microplastics (PET-MPs) may significantly impair male reproductive function. This study aimed to investigate the potential molecular mechanisms underlying this impairment. Potential gene targets of PET-MPs were predicted via the SwissTargetPrediction database.

Objective: We previously documented that exposure to a spectrum of elements is associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, there is a lack of mechanistic understanding as to how elemental mixtures contribute to the ASD development.
Materials And Methods: Serum and urinary concentrations of 26 elements and six biomarkers of ASD-relevant pathophysiologic pathways including serum HIPK 2, serum p53 protein, urine malondialdehyde (MDA), urine 8-OHdG, serum melatonin, and urine carnitine, were measured in 21 ASD cases and 21 age-matched healthy controls of children aged 6-12 years.

Background: Existing longitudinal cohort study data and associated biospecimen libraries provide abundant opportunities to efficiently examine new hypotheses through retrospective specimen testing. Outcome-dependent sampling (ODS) methods offer a powerful alternative to random sampling when testing all available specimens is not feasible or biospecimen preservation is desired. For repeated binary outcomes, a common ODS approach is to extend the case-control framework to the longitudinal setting.

Background: Internet-based cognitive behavioral therapies (iCBTs) are typically categorized into 2 types: therapist-assisted and self-guided. Both formats have accumulated substantial evidence supporting their cost-effectiveness and efficacy in treating a range of mental health conditions. However, therapist-assisted iCBTs tend to show lower dropout rates than self-guided versions.

Background: Cross-sector collaboration is increasingly recognized as essential for addressing complex health challenges, including those in mental health. Industry-academic partnerships play a vital role in advancing research and developing health solutions, yet differing priorities and perspectives can make collaboration complex.
Objective: This study aimed to identify key principles to support effective industry-academic partnerships, from the perspective of industry partners, and develop this into actionable guidance, which can be applied across sectors.
