Effects of mindfulness training on sustained attention and mind-wandering in older adults
Our findings suggest that mindfulness training compared to an active control may not differentially enhance attentional control among older adults
Association Between Negative Pregnancy Desires and Recent Condomless Sex Among Couples in Vietnam
We examined the association between negative pregnancy desires and women's semen exposure, a measure of recent condomless sex, among 500 different-sex couples using condoms for contraception. We analyzed data from a trial in Thanh Hoa, Vietnam which longitudinally assessed women's semen exposure via prostate-specific antigen in vaginal fluid. At enrollment, partners independently reported the importance of avoiding pregnancy for the next six mont…
I’m Ready This Time
BACKGROUND: Repetitive stress is at the nexus of acute and chronic stress, and there is limited knowledge about how physiological and emotional responses change with repeated exposure. PURPOSE: We examined stress-related biomarkers and emotional responses to repeated social stressors, and we tested behavioral moderators. METHODS: In Study 1, 42 adults completed the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST) twice, 4 months apart. Serum inflammatory cytokine…
Self-Compassion and Depressive Symptoms as Determinants of Sensitive Parenting
Parenting that is sensitive and responsive to children's needs has been shown to support children's optimal growth and development in many cultural contexts. Numerous studies suggest that self-compassion is positively related to sensitive parenting. Despite growing research interest linking self-compassion to responsive parenting, there are considerable gaps in the literature. The current study examined the associations between self-compassion, d…
Evaluating Pre-election Polling Estimates Using a New Measure of Non-ignorable Selection Bias
Among the numerous explanations that have been offered for recent errors in pre-election polls, selection bias due to non-ignorable partisan nonresponse bias, where the probability of responding to a poll is a function of the candidate preference that a poll is attempting to measure (even after conditioning on other relevant covariates used for weighting adjustments), has received relatively less focus in the academic literature. Under this type …
Delivery at Catholic hospitals and postpartum contraception use, five US states, 2015–2018
We found lower use of postpartum female sterilization, but no difference in highly effective contraception overall, for people who delivered at a Catholic hospital compared to a non-Catholic hospital
Does it matter whether we or I talk about us ? Distinguishing we-talk in couples’ conflict discussions and partners’ private thoughts before and after conflict
According to extensive evidence, we-talk—couples’ use of first-person, plural pronouns—predicts better relationship quality and well-being. However, prior work has not distinguished we-talk by its context, which varies widely across studies. Also, little is known about we-talk’s consistency over time. To assess the stability and correlates of we-talk in private versus conversational contexts, 43 married couples’ language was captured during a mar…
Effects of a Novel Erectogenic Condom on Men and Women’s Sexual Pleasure
We tested whether CSD500 (Futura Medical; Guildford, UK), a novel condom containing erectogenic gel designed to increase penile firmness, penile size, and erection duration, results in greater sexual pleasure. In 2017-2020, we randomized heterosexual couples in Thanh Hoa, Vietnam to use CSD500 (N = 248) or standard condoms (N = 252) and followed them up for six months. Women completed the Quality of Sexual Experience (QSE) scale; men completed th…
A mixed methods analysis of environmental and household chaos
Chaos represents a complex construct with implications spanning various disciplines, including childhood obesity research. Previous studies suggest challenges associated with measuring chaos may limit the conclusions that can be drawn about which aspect of chaos (if any) matter most of early childhood weight development. We advance the literature by demonstrating chaos may be comprised of conceptually distinct subdomains. Future childhood obesity…

Omega-3 Supplementation and Loneliness-Related Memory Problems
OBJECTIVE: Loneliness enhances risk for episodic memory declines over time. Omega-3 supplementation can improve cognitive function for people experiencing mild cognitive difficulties. Accordingly, we explored whether omega-3 supplementation would attenuate loneliness-related episodic memory problems. METHODS: Participants (n = 138) from a parent randomized controlled trial were randomized to the placebo, 1.25 grams/d of omega-3, or 2.50 grams/d o…
Studies With Staggered Starts
Objectives. Multiple baseline designs (MBDs) have been suggested as alternatives to group-randomized trials (GRT). We reviewed structural features of MBDs and considered their potential effectiveness in public health research. We also reviewed the effect of staggered starts on statistical power. Methods. We reviewed the MBD literature to identify key structural features, recent suggestions that MBDs be adopted in public health research, and the l…
A Review of Hot Deck Imputation for Survey Non‐response
Hot deck imputation is a method for handling missing data in which each missing value is replaced with an observed response from a “similar” unit. Despite being used extensively in practice, the theory is not as well developed as that of other imputation methods. We have found that no consensus exists as to the best way to apply the hot deck and obtain inferences from the completed data set. Here we review different forms of the hot deck and exis…
