The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between the level of depression, mental health and religiosity amongst mentally ill patients inhospital Tanjung Rambutan Ulu Kinta Perak with demographic aspects. The subjects selected were 40 women amongst mentally ill patients inhospital Tanjung Rambutan Ulu Kinta Perak. The assessment method administered consisted of Beck Depression Inventory, General Health Questionnaire-28, Provision and demographic questions. The questionnaires were distributed among the sample followed by a brief introduction about the assessment. Data analysis indicated that there was a significant difference between the age of the sample and their mental health (p=0.005. Furthermore, depression experienced by the victims significantly influenced their mental health (R2=0.70, [F (1, 25) = 41.517, p<0.002]). The study also indicated that there was a positive correlation between mental health and depression (r=0.68). This showed that the higher the levelof depression experienced by the samples, the higher the effect of their mental health and religiosity.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Adolescence is the period of rapid changes in physical and mental state. Rapid storm of physiological changes brigs a great deal of stress and adjustment difficulties. It represents one of the critical transitions in the life span with a wide range of adjustment and mental health problems. The present study is aimed to assess the impact of Mentor’s Strategic Communication on adjustment problems among adolescents. Methodology: A quasi experimental non-equivalent control group design was chosen to assess the impact of Mentor’s Strategic Communication by using Self developed Adjustment Inventory among 60 adolescents (30 each experimental and control group) with mild and moderate adjustment problems at selected schools, Kerala. The Samples were selected based on simple random sampling. Appropriate descriptive & inferential statistics was applied to compute the results. Results: Finding reveals that out of 30 students, 70% reported moderate adjustment problems while 30% were in mild adjustment issues in experimental group. There was a significant difference for adjustment problems among experimental and control group after Mentor’s strategic communication (p<0.001). Further, number of siblings (p<0.032) and education status of father (p<0.008) found significant association to adjustment problems among schools going adolescents. Conclusion: The results of the study revealed that majority of adolescents face adjustment problems and Mentor’s strategic communication had significant impact on improvement in adjustment problems. A planned and timely infusion of mentorship strategy may help them to deal with their day to day adjustment problems and help them to focus in studies in a better way.

Gap Identification
Many studies look at the effects of marijuana use on prenatal development and possible physical and psychological effects throughout the life span, particularly in teenagers and young adults. Researchers have also studied the factors that influence marijuana use across different age groups and in various environments. Some states are legalizing recreational marijuana use, but there has not been much time to study how that influences marijuana use among people in different age groups from varying environmental and racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds (gap).
Research Question
Are adults who smoked marijuana recreationally during their teenage years more likely to continue recreational marijuana use in states where that use is legal?
Research Design
I would use a qualitative design for this study because I am looking at hard data (chosen design type and reason for choosing it. Note that this is an experimental design; however, your design may lend itself to descriptive or correlational). My independent variable is the legal status of marijuana. Marijuana use in adulthood is the dependent variable (independent and dependent variables). I would recruit participants from four states—two where recreational marijuana use is legal and two where it is not legal at all for recreational or medicinal use. I would use Colorado and Washington as the two legal states and Idaho and Wyoming as the two illegal states. The studies in my chosen track focused on certain cities, so I chose the latter two states to ensure that all four choices are within roughly the same geographical region. I chose Idaho and Wyoming specifically because personal use possession is not decriminalized in those states and is a misdemeanor rather than a felony (choosing study population).
Previous and current marijuana use would be self-reported via questionnaires. I would use both male and female participants for this study, as the studies in my research track focused on males, which I see as a potential bias (identification and addressing of potential bias). I would like to see if there are gender-related differences. I would administer an initial screening assessment asking about frequency of marijuana use prior to age 20 and the way in which participants viewed their use (sporadically/experimentally vs. regularly/recreationally). I would select those who use marijuana recreationally on a regular basis for the actual study. (Additional study details, which can be added as necessary. Your study may span a longer time period, for e ...

INDIGENOUS YOUTHS’ RELATIONSHIPS WITH WATER: TRAUMA, ADVOCACY & RESILIENCEChristine Wekerle
Indigenous communities often experience disproportionate access to clean, safe drinking water. For youth water insecurity may lead to adverse mental health effects, referred to as 'water anxiety'. However, water resilience actions such as advocacy and youths' responsibilities to water, may have the potential to mitigate potential mental health effects associated with 'water anxiety'.
Positive psychology evolved from a recognition that the clinical encounter is often over-focused on concerns and problems, and that positive actions may not have a central role in the treatment plan. With youth, many issues - treatment compliance, help-seeking, impulsive self-harm, high risk-taking - may be ameliorated with a plan of positive actions. The technology that are youths' worlds may deliver some of these therapeutics. Resilience may be galvanized when inner resources interacts with external resources. This talk will introduce the evidence-based components of a resilience in youth App, JoyPop, and open discuss for research use in clinical populations.

Investigating the Path from Child Maltreatment to Alcohol Problems in a Sample of Child Welfare-Involved Youth

Adolescence is a key period for intervention among at-risk populations of youth, as this is when risk-taking behaviors tend to emerge. The Sustainable Development Goals for achieving 2030 youth health targets outline two issues central to reduce risks of gendered violence, sexual violence (SV) and adolescent sexual risk taking: (1) gender equity and (2) mental health promotion education. Only half of women reported having the autonomy to make their own decisions regarding sexual relations, usage of contraception and access to health care services. In developing countries women and children are extremely vulnerable to sexual violence which thereby places them at increased risk for contracting STIs from the perpetrator, as well as pregnancy as a result of SV. Undocumented minors; unaccompanied minors; refugees; child soldiers; youth post natural disasters; orphans; street-involved youth; and youth without parental care or financial means who are exposed to dangerous people or places are most vulnerable to sexual violence. UNICEF states that ending cases of new HIV infections by 2030 is unlikely, due to large concentrations of new infections occurring in areas where transactional sex, child sexual exploitation, drug use, street involved youth and SV are prevalent. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), which include forms of childhood maltreatment, increase the risk of contracting STIs. In particular, sexual abuse is linked with increased likelihood for risky sexual behavior, making victims vulnerable to poor sexual health outcomes.7 Protecting youth from exposure to SV and providing adolescents with sexual and mental health education are central to promoting resilience in youth.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

problem.
(Aarons, Brown, Hough, Garland, & Wood, 2001)
Substance misuse and related problems are
major concerns in adolescents involved in
child welfare system.
Living in foster homes
increases the likelihood
of substance abuse by 5X
compared to no history
of removal.
(Pilowsky & Wu, 2006)
3. More problems with drugs than alcohol.
(Singh et al., 2011)
Higher diagnosis of substance use
disorders compared to youth in the
general population.
(Aarons et al., 2001; Aarons et al., 2008; Braciszewski & Stout, 2012; Narendorf &
McMillen, 2010; Pilowsky & Wu, 2006; Vaughn, Ollie, McMillen, Scott, & Munson,
2007; Wall & Kohl, 2007)
Canadian Incidence Study of Reported Child Abuse and Neglect-
2003: 14% of all 10-15 year old individuals investigated for
maltreatment and 16% of individuals with substantiated cases had
substance abuse problem (Trocmé et al., 2005; Singh, Thornton, & Tonmyr, 2011).
4. Several factors contribute to the increased risk of substance use
problems in youth involved in child welfare system:
• Lagging behind their peers from the general
population, lower educational outcomes,
higher rates of homelessness, and criminal
justice involvement (Gypen, Vanderfaeillie, De Maeyer, Belenger, & Van
Holen, 2017).
• Child maltreatment, parental substance use,
multiple placement changes, and lack of family
support when transitioning into independent
living situations (Aarons et al., 2008; McCoy, McMillen, & Spitznagel, 2008;
Walsh, MacMillan, & Jamieson, 2003) .
• 49% meet the criteria for a current mental
disorder, mainly externalising disorders,
following by anxiety, depression, and ADHD
(results from a systematic review and meta-analysis; Bronsard et al., 2016).
5. Less than 10% of adolescents and young adults in need
receiving such interventions (SAMHSA, 2009).

15. Well-Venture Project
❖ This project aims to adapt personality-targeted
interventions for youth in child welfare system.
• To offer targeted interventions for at-risk adolescents in child
welfare system;
• To integrate a trauma-informed approach into personality-
targeted interventions using a developmental perspective;
• To reduce the risk of substance use disorders and related
problems in adolescents with histories of adverse childhood
experiences and trauma.

21. Conclusions
• Help reducing existing barriers in delivering effective
substance use and mental health services to adolescents
involved in child welfare system and those living in vulnerable
context or exposed to maltreatment/trauma, but are not
known to the child welfare system.
• Efficacious and efficient approach:
▪ Peer involvement, group sessions
▪ Critical period in development
▪ Prospective risk factors rather than early signs of problems
▪ CBT and motivational techniques: target individual risk factors, personally-
relevant, focused, and easy for adolescents to engage
▪ Sensitivity to the developmental needs, cultural values, and attitudes of the
target group
▪ Reduces a range of concurrent psychiatric symptoms and disorders
