Preparation of Medicare‐Enrolled Mental Health Counselors
Counselors are newly eligible to enroll as providers in the Medicare program as of January 1, 2024, yet little is known about their preparedness to work with Medicare beneficiaries and related training experiences.

Crisis Line Use Among Undergraduate Men of Color
Suicide deaths are rising in the United States, with some evidence that they are rising most rapidly among men of color. However, men of color in emerging adulthood face unique barriers to accessing life-saving services, such as the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.

We used consensual qualitative research to explore considerations from LGBQ+ counseling researchers for collecting sexual orientation. Three domains emerged: risks, benefits, and methodological considerations. Our findings highlight inclusive research practice strategies for LGBQ+ research participants

Statistical analyses indicated that members have a wide range of Medicare knowledge. A significant …
