This presentation examines the relationship between self-control, family structure, and other factors. The presenter hypothesized that higher parental attachment, participation in hobbies/sports/religion, and living with both biological parents would be associated with higher self-control. Analyses of survey data found parental attachment and activities like sports were correlated with self-control. Children from traditional families also had significantly higher self-control than those from other family arrangements. The study provided support for prior theories linking parental relationships and self-control.

Overview of trauma and health
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) like abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction are related to negative long-term health outcomes. Studies have found associations between ACEs and increased risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, and obesity. Exposure to trauma as a child can also influence inflammation levels and risk of depression decades later. Additionally, childhood abuse is a significant risk factor for post-traumatic stress disorder during pregnancy, which is linked to lower birth weight and preterm birth. The document reviews multiple studies that demonstrate the impact of early life stress on long-term physical and mental health.
Poster Temprevision3.10.16.2
This study examined the relationship between family factors and self-control using data from 6,051 adolescents. Six hypotheses were tested: 1) parental warmth is positively related to self-control; 2) hobbies are positively related to self-control; 3) sports are positively related to self-control; 4) religion is positively related to self-control; 5) those living with both biological parents have higher self-control; and 6) parental warmth increases self-control when controlling for demographics. All hypotheses were supported, indicating family relationships influence the development of self-control. Future longitudinal research is needed to better understand how self-control evolves within different family structures over time.

Opportunities to change the outcomes of traumatized children
This document discusses the negative impacts of childhood trauma, including abuse and household dysfunction. It summarizes research finding that childhood trauma can cause neurological and biological harm, as well as increased risks for mental health issues, physical health problems, and perpetuating intergenerational cycles of abuse and trauma. The document advocates for greater recognition of childhood trauma across social services, and implementing evidence-based prevention and treatment programs.
Intimate Partner Violence and LGBT Relationships
This presentation describes how LGBT relationships are impacted by intimate partner abuse (IPV), and how these effects are similar or different to heterosexual relationships. A brief review of policy and law is included.
Mostly heterosexual
This talk, given at the annual meeting of the International Academy of Sex Research in Chicago in August 2014 reviews the existent literature on the 'mostly heterosexuals,' those who are not exclusively heterosexual yet not same-sex oriented enough to consider themselves or be considered by others as bisexual. Reviewing over 70 studies from 6 different countries, we find that the mostly heterosexuals is a largely unrecognized, but sizable and psychologically vulnerable sexual minority.
1 in 6 Fact Sheet
The document summarizes research that finds approximately 1 in 6 men experience unwanted sexual experiences before age 16. Multiple studies cited found 14-18% of men reported being sexually abused as children. However, the statistics are likely underestimates as males are less likely to report abuse. Men who experienced abuse are at greater risk for mental health issues like PTSD, depression, suicide attempts, and substance abuse. The research concludes the 1 in 6 statistic of male childhood sexual abuse is supported by scientific studies and prevalence is probably higher than reported.

Action as Deliberate Indifference: Sexual Assault at Occidental College by Ra...Oxy Sexual Assault Coalition - Occidental College
"One in four women will be sexually assaulted during her college career. Sexual assault and rape effect victims and survivors in a number of detrimental ways. The victims’ and survivors’ academic and social lives are often torn apart, creating a disparity between their lives and the lives of others on campus. Title IX, part of the Education Amendments of 1972, protects women against sex-based discrimination and harassment in academia. Rape and sexual assault are considered extreme forms of harassment under Title IX. The law mandates that schools, including colleges and universities, follow guidelines set by the Office of Civil Rights to prevent and remedy inequities caused by sexual assault.
I posit that Occidental College violates Title IX by acting with deliberate indifference in regards to sexual assault and rape. To determine whether my hypothesis is correct, I measured students’ attitudes of sexual assault on campus using a campus-wide blog. I paired the qualitative analysis of the blog with quantitative analysis using a survey of survivors and victims at Occidental. After the analyses, I concluded that Occidental administration violates Title IX through deliberate indifference and because of incomplete compliance with the Dear Colleague Letter by the Office of Civil Rights."Recommended

This document summarizes a presentation about preventing health risks and promoting healthy outcomes among LGBTQ youth. It discusses challenges LGBTQ youth face like discrimination, family rejection, and minority stress. It provides data on health risks like substance abuse, HIV rates, and bullying. It also offers recommendations for creating safe and supportive school environments through approaches like gay-straight alliances, addressing identity development, and clear sex education.
Research Methods: Data Analysis
This document summarizes a research paper analyzing how religion, education level, and political ideology influence views on same-sex marriage. The paper uses survey data from 900 New Jersey adults. It finds that education level and political ideology significantly impact views, with more educated and liberal individuals more supportive of same-sex marriage, while religion does not have a significant influence. The paper supports the hypotheses that education exposure and liberal ideology correlate with greater acceptance, but finds only weak-to-moderate associations. It concludes that political and educational factors somewhat predict attitudes, though religion does not.

The document discusses syndemics, which are closely intertwined health problems that mutually reinforce each other within social contexts. Examples include the SAVA syndemic of substance abuse, violence, and AIDS. Research found that psychological problems like depression, childhood abuse, and partner violence increased risks of unprotected sex and HIV infection among gay men. Minority stress models show how homophobia leads to poor health outcomes by increasing psychological stress. Potential solutions discussed include increasing LGBTQ health access, anti-homophobia education and legislation, and community programs.

This article investigates associations between sexual desire, affect, context, and time of day in depressed young women. It summarizes previous research showing both reduced and unchanged sexual desire in depressed adult women. The study uses momentary sampling to examine 44 depressed young women aged 18 on average. Results show sexual desire was experienced when with boyfriends and later in the evening. Sexual desire was also positively associated with positive affect but not negative affect or physical context. The findings suggest depressed young women experience sexual desire in normative social contexts and help correct assumptions they lack sexual desire.

This document discusses issues faced by gay male youth. It notes they are more likely to suffer from eating disorders, engage in risky sexual behaviors, and be diagnosed with depression, substance abuse, and anxiety disorders. Risk factors include appearance pressures from LGBT stereotypes, family rejection, and discrimination. Gay male youth also face higher risks of HIV, suicide, and sexual/dating violence. Recommended therapeutic approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment-based family therapy, and group interventions to improve coping skills, self-esteem, social support, and reduce health risks. Addressing the challenges of sexuality and psychosocial stress is also important.

This study examined the relationship between experiences of adult sexual assault (ASA) severity and drinking motives in 869 female heavy episodic drinkers aged 21-35. The results showed that as ASA severity increased, women were more likely to drink to cope with problems, to be social, and to conform to others. However, ASA severity was not related to drinking for enhancement reasons. The study suggests targeting coping motives could help reduce alcohol use in women with histories of ASA.
Reactions to Asexuality by Bibi Loizzo
This study was a test of the hypothesis that demographic variables (e.g. gender, education) would predict who would be closed minded about the idea of asexuality as a sexual orientation. The participants received the link to the survey on the researcher’s Facebook page. The survey asked the participants’ awareness of asexuality, educational background, feelings towards the topic of sex, religious background, gender, race, age, sexual orientation, and where they were raised. The survey also asked three questions regarding the participants’ beliefs about asexuality as a sexual orientation. The results did show a significant affect on attitudes of gender, and previous education about asexuality. The study also found a strong but not significant relationship between attitudes and religiosity.

Despite facing greater discrimination and lower socioeconomic status, African Americans typically have better mental health outcomes than whites. This study examines the relationship between racism-related coping strategies and mental health among African Americans using a national survey. The researchers identified three main coping dimensions - objection, internal attribution, and acquiescence. Acquiescence, or accepting discrimination as fact, was the most common strategy. Objection and internal attribution were linked to higher depressive symptoms. Educational attainment impacted strategy use - those with more education were more likely to object to discrimination. The study provides insight into coping strategies among African Americans and their association with mental health.
Unmasking the Gender Factor in Gay Men's Health: Sex Now Survey 2010
This document discusses conducting a survey to better understand the determinants of health disparities among gay men. It notes that factors beyond sexual orientation, like gender, marginalization, and social stress, may help explain higher rates of issues like depression, HIV, and STIs in gay populations. The survey aims to examine how intersecting systems of oppression and privilege relate to these health outcomes. It also seeks to understand masculinities and gender norms, and their relationship to transmission risk and health indicators. The goal is to identify specific social inequities that contribute to health disparities in gay communities and help inform public health interventions.
Gender And Mental Health
This document discusses how gender affects mental health issues. It notes that gender influences many life aspects like coping strategies and resource access that can positively or negatively impact mental health. Men often externalize issues through outward behaviors instead of internal emotions and are less likely to seek help due to stigma. Women are more likely to communicate problems, seek help from social support systems, and accept mental health issues rather than viewing them as a weakness. While data shows higher reported rates of disorders in women, this may be partially because men ignore or do not report their own issues as frequently.

Depression and anxiety are frequently associated with sexual dysfunction in both men and women. Epidemiological studies have found that 12-month prevalence of at least one sexual dysfunction is between 30-70% in sexually active adults in high-income countries. Most research has shown that depression is correlated with reduced libido and sexual interest, though a minority of depressed individuals report increased interest. Schizophrenia has also been shown to impact sexuality, with schizophrenic individuals reporting sexual hallucinations and being at high risk for unsafe sex and sexually transmitted diseases. Counseling can help address underlying causes of sexual dysfunctions not related to medical issues.Who Wants an Open Relationship?_SSSS2014_Omaha

Mostly Straight_NYC Sex Nerds June '14
The document discusses research on a new sexual orientation group called "mostly straight", which refers to individuals who identify as mostly but not completely heterosexual. Data shows that mostly straights comprise a significant portion of the population, especially among younger adults, and have a distinct psychological and health profile compared to those who identify as completely heterosexual or bisexual. The research aims to better understand and define this emerging sexual orientation group.
Alcohol. Drugs And High Risk Teen Behavior
The document discusses how the teenage brain leads to high-risk behaviors. It explains that the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for decision making and judgment, is still developing during adolescence. As a result, teens are more susceptible to peer influence. It identifies some common risky behaviors as sexual activity, alcohol and drug use, reckless driving, and illegal acts. The document concludes that peer groups and an immature prefrontal cortex combine to make teens more likely to engage in dangerous behavior.
August 2013
The study surveyed over 4,500 young men in Britain and found that gang members had a significantly higher risk of developing mental health conditions like psychosis, anxiety, alcohol dependence, and antisocial personality disorder compared to non-gang members. While the study could not determine if mental health issues preceded or followed gang involvement, it provided insight into the complex relationship between gang violence and mental illness. The researchers accounted for factors like unemployment, ethnicity, and age, and found that dwelling on violent thoughts, experiences of victimization, and fear of further victimization helped explain the higher risks in gang members.

This document discusses childhood sexual abuse among children with intellectual disabilities. It notes that children with intellectual disabilities are 4.6 times more likely to experience sexual abuse compared to children without disabilities. Risk factors include dependence on caregivers, lack of communication skills, and lack of sex education tailored to their needs. The document calls for a proactive approach, including improved sex education lessons from an early age, ongoing staff training, and better recognition of signs of abuse. It outlines short and long-term consequences of sexual abuse, such as psychological and behavioral issues.
Psyc Of Women Presentation
This study examined women's use of prescription drugs to cope with sexual assault. The researchers interviewed 102 sexual assault survivors about their demographic characteristics, mental and physical health, and past 6-month drug use. They found that 43% of women reported using prescription sedatives, tranquilizers or antidepressants, primarily obtained from doctors. Employed women and those with mental or physical health problems were more likely to use drugs. While most obtained drugs legally, some resorted to illicit use. Only half disclosed their assault to doctors. The implications suggest that doctors may inadequately address sexual trauma and its causes, instead prescribing drugs that could enable dependency.
Prevent H1N1
The document discusses preventing the H1N1 flu, also known as swine flu. It provides information from the CDC on the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, symptoms of H1N1 flu, high-risk groups, sources of contamination, myths about the flu, and prevention methods. Additional resources on containing the flu are referenced from the CDC, Clorox, and The University of Memphis Student Health Services blog.

Melissa Bleininger presented research on the relationship between self-control, family structure, and other factors. She hypothesized that parental attachment and participation in activities like hobbies, sports and religion would be positively associated with higher self-control. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, she found through bivariate correlations and regression analysis that parental attachment was significantly positively related to self-control, while factors like age, sex, race, and family structure were also significant predictors of self-control.

SAB: transformation banking distribution
The digital revolution is transforming the banking industry by optimizing customer experience and business models. Banks now face challenges in providing permanent accessibility, simplifying offerings, and maintaining customer relationships across channels. This requires reconsidering distribution methods, streamlining production to find efficiencies, and exploiting customer data. Some banks have begun transforming by offering mobile banking, but full digital transformation requires separating distribution from production in IT systems, establishing omni-channel distribution, production centers, and big data analytics tools.

Anaemia in ckd
This document discusses anaemia and its causes in chronic kidney disease (CKD). It defines anaemia and outlines how it is diagnosed based on haemoglobin levels. The main causes of anaemia in CKD are decreased erythropoietin production and iron deficiency. Iron supplementation using oral or intravenous iron is recommended to treat iron deficiency anaemia in CKD, along with erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) like epoetin and darbepoetin to treat all anaemia. Guidelines on monitoring haemoglobin levels and initiating/maintaining ESA therapy are provided. Red blood cell transfusion is indicated when rapid correction of anaemia is needed or ESA therapy is ineffective.
Minimal invasive cabg
The document discusses various techniques for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), including conventional on-pump CABG using cardioplegic arrest and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), and minimally invasive techniques like off-pump CABG (OPCAB) and mid-cabinal CABG (MIDCAB) without use of CPB. It summarizes the technical concepts of different graft conduits, procedures like MIDCAB using stabilization devices, and clinical trials comparing on-pump CABG to off-pump techniques. The largest trial found no difference in major cardiovascular outcomes between on-pump and off-pump CABG, though off-pump was associated with less bleeding, transfusions, and acute kidney injury

EPA Poster Presentation - FINAL 3-7-14
Heavy drinking men reported more sexual experiences involving alcohol use compared to non-heavy drinking men. Heavy drinkers preferred having two or more drinks themselves and their partner drinking over one drink before sex. While heavy drinkers felt more confident gauging consent when intoxicated, non-heavy drinkers felt more confident when sober. Non-heavy drinkers also reported more positive attitudes toward sober sex and clearer communication compared to heavy drinkers. The findings suggest alcohol is a greater risk factor for sexual aggression among heavy drinking men.

Predicting adolescent sexual behavior by sexual identity and sexual attraction
Predicting adolescent sexual behavior by sexual identity and sexual attractionCenter for Innovative Public Health Research
This study analyzed data from 5,100 cisgender youth to examine the relationships between sexual orientation identity, attraction, and behavior in adolescence. It found that while 90.6% identified as exclusively heterosexual, some in this group reported same-sex attraction or behavior. Additionally, lesbian youth were more likely than gay youth to report opposite-sex sexual experiences. The results indicate that sexual orientation is complex and fluid in teens, and cannot be defined solely by identity, attraction or behavior.Evolve 7
The document discusses several key ideas from evolutionary psychology and human sociobiology, including:
1) E.O. Wilson's 1975 book introduced sociobiology and sparked controversy over the influence of biology vs culture on human behavior.
2) Evolutionary psychology views the mind as composed of specialized modules adapted for survival in our ancestral environment.
3) Studies provide evidence that human mate preferences, jealousy, and other behaviors may reflect evolutionary adaptations related to reproductive success.
4) Parental investment varies based on the certainty of biological parenthood.
Gender identity disorder

Protective factors after hiv diagnosis by Mi Echanis Melgar
This study examined protective factors that prevent people living with HIV (PLHIV) in the Philippines from committing suicide. The study found that strong faith in God and support from family and peers were the primary protective factors. PLHIV reported adaptive beliefs, rational assessments of their resources, and constructive coping strategies. They had high technology access and moderately high access to peer counseling and antiretroviral treatment. While relationships, purpose, and being loved helped PLHIV want to live, stigma about HIV remained a challenge. The study recommends further research on suicide risk factors and preventive interventions for PLHIV.

GLBT Health Inequalities, The evidence - Associate Prof.Anne Mitchell
GLBT Health Inequalities, The evidence - Associate Prof.Anne MitchellAustralian Federation of AIDS Organisations
GLBT individuals experience significant health inequalities compared to heterosexual individuals according to Australian data. GLBT individuals are more likely to have chronic conditions, disabilities, mental health issues like psychological distress and suicidal behavior. They also have higher rates of risky behaviors like smoking, drug use, and alcohol use. Additionally, GLBT individuals face barriers to healthcare access and report more negative experiences with healthcare services compared to heterosexual individuals. Addressing these health disparities requires acknowledging and understanding how societal biases negatively impact the physical and mental health of GLBT individuals.The Generational Perception of Gender and Biological Sex (1)
This study examines generational perceptions of gender and biological sex. The researcher hypothesizes that older age groups (40-99) will have lower perception scores, while younger groups (10-39) will score higher. A survey was distributed online and through physical copies to collect data on participants' age, sex, gender, views on gender roles/stereotypes, and history of depression/anxiety. Preliminary analysis found most participants were female, identified as female, and were ages 14-25. Rates of depression/anxiety were highest in younger age groups and those with non-binary gender identities. The researcher will analyze scores using ANOVA, note any patterns, and determine if the hypothesis is supported or needs revision based

Rural and non-rural sexual minority youth showed similar health indicators, with a few exceptions. Rural sexual minority youth reported poorer mental health, lower safety, and higher substance use than both rural and non-rural heterosexual youth. Compared to heterosexual youth, sexual minority youth of both urbanicities were more likely to engage in social/political activities, perhaps to connect with a supportive community. While urbanicity differences have decreased for sexual minority youth, their health outcomes still lag behind heterosexual peers, highlighting ongoing disparities.
