Beyond Asexuality as a Single Category
Asexuality is increasingly understood as a heterogeneous spectrum, yet research has rarely examined how multiple sexuality-related dimensions cluster within ace-spectrum (i.e. asexual-spectrum) populations or how such configurations relate to perceived stigma-related impairment. Using data from the 2021 Ace Community Survey (analytic N = 11,063), this study adopted a multidimensional, person-centered approach to identify sexuality-related profile…

Following PRISMA guidelines, five databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, EMBASE, and PsycNet) were systematically searched for studies published between 2010 and 2025. Of 3,993 records identified, 20 studies involving …
Sex, digital media, and fertility intentions in China
China's continued decline in fertility rates—despite a series of policy relaxations—highlights the importance of individual fertility intentions in shaping demographic outcomes. This study investigates sex differences in fertility intentions and examines the mediating roles of media use and gender role attitudes. Using data from the China General Social Survey (2017–2021), we analyze responses from 11,184 individuals aged 18 to 45. Quasi-Poisson …

This study examines the impact of digital transformation on public health using global panel data for 94 countries from 2003 to 2021, applying feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) estimation with country–time clustered standard errors. It also investigates the mechanisms through which digital transformation affects public health from the perspectives of human capital and health expenditure efficiency. The results demonstrate that digital tra…
An Exploration of the Experiences of Vulnerable Young People Participating in a Stand‐Up Paddle‐Boarding Therapy Course
Nature‐based interventions have been advocated as an approach to support mental health and well‐being in young people. The Wave Project, a United Kingdom–based charity, has an established surf therapy intervention for vulnerable children and adolescents which has been demonstrated to have a positive impact on mental health and well‐being. However, this intervention provides challenges in terms of accessibility for young people located away from t…
A Descriptive Analysis of Demographic and Injury Characteristics in a Level II Trauma Center Serving Rural Hispanic/Latino Communities
Injury is common and associated with negative mental and physical health outcomes and functional impairment. This study analyzed trauma registry data from a Level II trauma center serving a rural population to describe demographic and injury characteristics of adult patients receiving care for a traumatic injury ( n = 1127) in 2023. Most patients identified as male (67%), White (64%), and Not Hispanic/Latino (67%). Among the 29% who identified as…
Intersectional Impact of Allosexism Experiences on Non‐Suicidal Self‐Injury Among Asexual Youth
PURPOSE: Asexual youth encounter significant challenges concerning mental and behavioral health, including non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). However, limited research has examined how experiences of allosexism impact sexual and gender minority youth, their engagement in NSSI, and the mechanisms underlying these relationships. This study aims to investigate the intersectional effects of allosexism experiences on NSSI among asexual youth. METHODS: A…
Promoting Physical Activity Through Social Prescribing
Background: Social prescribing (SP) has received increasing interest in recent years due to its potential to encourage health‐promoting behaviours, such as physical activity (PA). However, to develop effective SP interventions, it is critical to enhance our understanding of the mechanisms of change associated with SP and their potential to promote PA. This review aimed to synthesise the mechanisms of change in SP interventions and to develop a lo…
Dual Community Engagement and “Undetectable = Untransmittable”
Decision-maker influences and perceptual disparities in child maltreatment among Chinese child social workers
Understanding perception of child maltreatment is pivotal for the identification and mitigation of risks to vulnerable children. Nonetheless, research that explores the determinants influencing these perceptions, particularly from the perspective of child social workers, has remained limited. This study proposes a mediation model where two facets of social work professional identity mediate the relationship between decision-maker characteristics …
Perceived stigma, internalized stigma, and mental health of young Chinese men who have sex with men living with HIV/Aids
Stigma is closely linked to mental health issues among men who have sex with men (MSM) living with HIV/AIDS. The "Undetectable = Untransmittable" (U = U) concept has been instrumental in reducing HIV/AIDS-related stigma and improving treatment adherence among people living with HIV/AIDS. However, the effect of U = U status on internalized stigma related to both HIV/AIDS and homosexual identity remains unclear. This study explores how U = U status…
Exploring Gender and Urban-Rural Disparities
Gender equality, human development, and financial resilience
The gender perspective is less examined in previous research on development and financial resilience. Drawing on cross-national datasets and developmental social welfare perspectives, this study examined country-level mediating pathways of gender equality. Results show that human development significantly mediates the associations between gender equality in educational, occupational, and political domains and financial resilience, highlighting th…
Moderating Effects of Age on the Longitudinal Associations Between Iadl Disability, Self‐Rated Health, and Depression Among Middle‐Aged and Older Adults
Background: The potential association and underlying mechanisms between instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) and depressive symptoms in middle‐ and older‐aged adults remain unclear. This study explores the bidirectional relationship between IADL disability and depressive symptoms among Chinese middle‐aged and older adults and examines the mediating or moderating effects of self‐rated health (SRH) and age on this relationship. Methods: W…

Longitudinal Associations Between Multiple Types of Adverse Childhood Experiences and Depression Trajectories in Middle-Aged and Older Chinese Adults
Intersecting self-stigma among young Chinese men who have sex with men living with HIV/Aids
Young men in China who have sex with men (MSM) are disproportionately infected with HIV. While scholars have drawn attention to the intersecting stigma against individuals with multiple stigmatized identities, little is known about how HIV-positive MSM navigate stigmatized identities and cope with intersecting self-stigma. This qualitative study explored how young Chinese MSM living with HIV/AIDS respond to their stigmatized identities and develo…
