Parkinson’s research with inclusion, diversity, and equity
Our findings highlight the unique challenges and strengths of LGBTQ+ PD caregivers. Future research and health service providers should consider ways to address systemic barriers, the importance of culturally competent support, and both the burdens and resilience experienced by LGBTQ+ PD caregivers. Findings underscore the urgent need for inclusive, culturally competent services and resources to support this underserved population
The association between Covid-19 related income loss and diet quality
The COVID-19 lockdowns saw many individuals lose income, experience distress and increase intake of foods that would typically be considered less 'healthy' (more processed and less fresh produce). Establishing whether there are direct and indirect links between these variables would be of benefit in preparing for similar future events but also has implications for the current global financial climate, where many are experiencing relative decrease…
Alcohol Consumption on the Heaviest Drinking Occasion and Hangovers during the First Dutch Covid-19 Lockdown

The survey was conducted among the Dutch population to collect data on immune fitness …
A Cross-Cultural Comparison of the Effects of Alcohol Mixed with Energy Drink (Amed) Consumption on Overall Alcohol Consumption and Related Consequences
There is a growing body of scientific literature examining the effects of alcohol mixed with energy drink (AMED) on alcohol consumption and related negative consequences, such as risky behavior or negative health effects. It is unknown whether differences in cultural context may influence these AMED effects. The current cross-cultural study compared the data of N = 6881 students from The Netherlands (N = 4424), UK (N = 1594), and Australia (N = 8…
Risk-Taking Behavior and the Consumption of Alcohol Mixed with Energy Drink among Australian, Dutch and UK Students
The relationship between risk-taking behavior, alcohol consumption and negative alcohol-related consequences is well known. The current analyses were conducted to investigate whether alcohol mixed with energy drink (AMED) is related to risk-taking behavior and if there is a relationship between the amount of energy drink mixed with alcohol consumed, risk-taking behavior and negative alcohol-related consequences. Data from N = 1276 AMED consuming …

Results show that, compared to pre-lockdown, the first COVID-19 lockdown (March 2020) was associated w…
Consumption of caffeinated beverages and the awareness of their caffeine content among Dutch students
Injurious Names
In April 1999, in the course of a conference on “Race in 21st Century America” held at Michigan State University, I attended an acrimonious public debate staged between Dinesh D'Souza, the author of The End of Race? and the African American political scientist Manning Marable. Marable argued for the uniquely oppressive character of African American experience in the United States, past and present; D'Souza, predictably enough, was there to reiter…

An Anthropology of Names and Naming
This book is about personal names, something of abiding interest to specialists and lay readers alike. Over a million people have checked the American Name Society website since 1996, for instance. Many philosophers and linguists suggest that names are 'just' labels, but parents internationally are determined to get their children's names 'right'. Personal names may be given, lost, traded, stolen and inherited. This collection of essays provides …
