Text Messaging Interventions for Unhealthy Alcohol Use in Emergency Departments: Mixed Methods Assessment of Implementation Barriers and Facilitators

Text Messaging Interventions for Unhealthy Alcohol Use in Emergency Departments: Mixed Methods Assessment of Implementation Barriers and Facilitators

Unhealthy alcohol use (UAU) costs the United States nearly US $250 billion per year [1], and alcohol-related deaths among those aged 16 years and older recently increased by 25% [2]. Emergency departments (EDs), where alcohol-related visits are rising [3-5], are sometimes the only health care touchpoint for patients with UAU, making it a promising point of intervention [6,7]. SMS text messages are one of the most ubiquitous and salient modes of mobile health interventions.

Latinx and White Adolescents’ Preferences for Latinx-Targeted Celebrity and Noncelebrity Food Advertisements: Experimental Survey Study

Latinx and White Adolescents’ Preferences for Latinx-Targeted Celebrity and Noncelebrity Food Advertisements: Experimental Survey Study

One randomized trial examining the impact of influencer marketing—the promotion of products by popular web-based celebrities—showed that influencer marketing of unhealthy foods on social media significantly increased children’s consumption of unhealthy snacks [40,41]. Exposure to unhealthy food advertisements that feature celebrity influencers is concerning as it can capture adolescents’ attention through its appealing features.

Extent and Nature of Television Food and Nonalcoholic Beverage Marketing in 9 Asian Countries: Cross-Sectional Study Using a Harmonized Approach

Extent and Nature of Television Food and Nonalcoholic Beverage Marketing in 9 Asian Countries: Cross-Sectional Study Using a Harmonized Approach

Television advertising of unhealthy foods is a big driver of children’s exposure to unhealthy food marketing [10-12]. Without question, children who are highly exposed to powerful marketing of HFSS foods are vulnerable to negative food behaviors that are conducive to overweight and obesity development [13-15]. Increased exposure of children to the marketing of unhealthy foods increases purchase requests [13,14] and develops tastes, preferences, and habits [16-19] for these foods.

Sex Differences in Clustering Unhealthy Lifestyles Among Survivors of COVID-19: Latent Class Analysis

There were significant differences in the distribution of all covariates between “less unhealthy” and “more unhealthy” groups. Nearly half (1010/2080, 48.6%) of the participants in the “more unhealthy” group were single, 60.7% (1263/2080) of them were male, 67.3% (1400/2080) of them had at least a university education, and 71.9% (1495/2080) of “more unhealthy” participants were dependent workers.

Classifying COVID-19 Patients From Chest X-ray Images Using Hybrid Machine Learning Techniques: Development and Evaluation

Classifying COVID-19 Patients From Chest X-ray Images Using Hybrid Machine Learning Techniques: Development and Evaluation

The first layer acted as a screening mechanism, directing unhealthy CXR images to the second layer for further classification into COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 images. This model has been thoroughly compared with other preprocessing techniques and methods to assess its effectiveness. The first layer of the MLHC-COVID-19 uses the highest performance model between DTs, SVMs, and neural networks (NNs) to differentiate between healthy and unhealthy CXR images.
