Responsible AI in mental healthcare: Policy directions and stakeholder insights
As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly integrated into mental healthcare, it presents both opportunities to expand access and challenges related to ethics, safety, and regulation. This white paper examines the current U.S. regulatory landscape and presents findings from a scenario-based survey conducted during the 2025 Responsible AI for Mental Health workshop in Charlotte, North Carolina in April 2025. While state efforts are drivi…
A qualitative study using metacognition to evaluate the impacts of pet ownership and loss on existential thinking, mortality acceptance, and grief
Experiencing pet loss can shape the ways people cope with grief and may lead to increased existential thinking. This study investigated metacognition regarding ways owning or losing a pet may impact existential thinking and processing grief and mortality. Participants (n = 36; 67% Women) ranged in age from 17 to 60 (M = 24). The data were analyzed using Reflexive Thematic Analysis (RTA), yielding six themes: afterlife belief, concern for others, …
A Behavioral Economic Examination of Sexual Behaviors in the Era of Pre-exposure Prophylaxis via Explanatory Sequential Mixed Methods
Relationships among Substance Use, Sociodemographics, Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Awareness and Related Attitudes among Young Adult Men Who Have Sex with Men
Men who have sex with men (MSM) account for two-thirds of new HIV diagnoses. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), a highly efficacious HIV preventive medication, is underutilized. Identifying correlates of PrEP awareness and attitudes may help increase PrEP use. Thus, we evaluated (1) PrEP awareness; (2) differences in awareness related to substance use and sociodemographics; (3) initial PrEP information sources; and (4) possible associations between…
Measuring Sexual Risk-Taking: A Systematic Review of the Sexual Delay Discounting Task
Identifying the best measures of alcohol consumption to predict future HIV viral suppression trajectories
Negative Consequences of Alcohol Use among People Living with HIV
Introduction: Among people living with HIV (PLWH), alcohol use can have negative impacts beyond HIV-related outcomes. The objectives of this study are to identify the most common alcohol-related consequences among PLWH in Florida and describe factors associated with experiencing more alcohol-related consequences. Methods: Data were collected from PLWH in the Florida Cohort study who drank at least monthly in the past year (n=397). Self-reported c…
Psychometrically improved, abbreviated versions of three classic measures of impulsivity and self-control.
Self-reported impulsivity confers risk factor for substance abuse. However, the psychometric properties of many self-report impulsivity measures have been questioned, thereby undermining the interpretability of study findings using these measures. To better understand these measurement limitations and to suggest a path to assessing self-reported impulsivity with greater psychometric stability, we conducted a comprehensive psychometric evaluation …
Medical doctors’ attitudes and beliefs about diet and health are more like those of their lay countrymen (France, Germany, Italy, UK and USA) than those of doctors in other countries
