    Abstract Using 2.45x10;{7} psi(2S) decays collected with the CLEO-c detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring we present the most precise measurements of magnetic dipole transitions in the charmonium system. We measure B(psi(2S)-->gammaeta_{c})=(4.32+/-0.16+/-0.60)x10;{-3}, B(J/psi-->gammaeta_{c})/B(psi(2S)-->gammaeta_{c})=4.59+/-0.23+/-0.64, and B(J/psi-->gammaeta_{c})=(1.98+/-0.09+/-0.30)%. We observe a distortion in the eta_{c} line shape due to the photon-energy dependence of the magnetic dipole transition rate. We find that measurements of the eta_{c} mass are sensitive to the line shape, suggesting an explanation for the discrepancy between measurements of the eta_{c} mass in radiative transitions and other production mechanisms.

    Abstract Objectives: To determine the feasibility and acceptability of 'ACTing Minds', a novel single-player adventure video game based on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).
    Design: A single-arm, mixed-methods repeated measures feasibility study.
    Setting: Intervention and questionnaires were completed at home by participants. Semistructured interviews were also conducted at home via the Zoom platform.
    Participants: Thirty-six participants were recruited into the study, 29 completed all phases of the feasibility design. Eligibility criteria required participants to be over the age of 18 and self-reporting experiencing ongoing depression, anxiety or stress.
    Intervention: Participants completed a single session of the 'ACTing Minds' video game, lasting approximately 1 hour, designed to educate users on key principles from ACT.
    Primary outcome measures: Participant recruitment and retention, questionnaire completion, long-term intervention adherence and acceptability of the intervention. Reflexive thematic analysis was conducted on semistructured interviews run immediately postintervention and 3 weeks later.
    Secondary outcome measures: Measures of depression, anxiety, stress, psychological flexibility, social connectedness and well-being were assessed at baseline, immediately following intervention completion, and after a 3-week follow-up period. We used a standardised battery of questionnaires.
    Primary results: Twenty-nine participants completed the study. A reflexive thematic analysis indicated that participants responded positively to the intervention and the study at all stages. Themes reflect participants' desire for an engaging therapeutic experience, use of game for exploring emotions, as well as their perspectives on how they had applied their learning to the real world.
    Secondary results: Quantitative results indicated small to large effect sizes associated with decreases in depression (ηp2 = 0.011), anxiety (ηp2 = 0.096) and stress (ηp2 = 0.108), and increases in psychological flexibility (ηp2 = 0.060), social connectedness (ηp2 = 0.021), well-being (ηp2 = 0.011) and participation in usual activities (ηp2 = .307).
    Conclusions: Implementation of the 'ACTing Minds' intervention is warranted, based on both qualitative and quantitative outcomes.

    Abstract Measurement invariance (MI) is a psychometric property of an instrument indicating the degree to which scores from an instrument are comparable across groups. In recent years, there has been a marked uptick in publications using MI in intellectual and developmental disability (IDD) samples. Our goal here is to provide an overview of why MI is important to IDD researchers and to describe some challenges to evaluating it, with an eye towards nudging our subfield into a more thoughtful and measured interpretation of studies using MI.

    Abstract Background: This study examined perceptions of coercion, pressures and procedural injustice and how such perceptions influenced psychological well-being in those who experienced a UK COVID-19 lockdown, with a view to preparing for the possibility of future lockdowns.
    Methods: 40 individuals categorised as perceiving the lockdown(s) as either highly or lowly coercive took part in one of six asynchronous virtual focus groups (AVFGs).
    Results: Using thematic analysis, the following key themes were identified in participants' discussions: (1) Choice, control and freedom; (2) threats; (3) fairness; (4) circumstantial factors; and (5) psychological factors.
    Conclusions: As the first qualitative study to investigate the psychological construct of perceived coercion in relation to COVID-19 lockdowns, its findings suggest that the extent to which individuals perceived pandemic-related lockdowns as coercive may have been linked to their acceptance of restrictions. Preparing for future pandemics should include consideration of perceptions of coercion and efforts to combat this, particularly in relation to differences in equity, in addition to clarity of public health messaging and public engagement.

    Abstract Introduction: Non-attendance at Medical Imaging (MI) appointments can result in inefficiencies in healthcare resource allocation, increased financial burdens, and lead to potential barriers to effective healthcare delivery. We evaluated factors associated with non-attendance of MI appointments for children including variables: gender; age groups; residential postcodes; Indigenous status; appointment dates; appointment reminders and socio-economic status.
    Method: Retrospective cohort study of children with scheduled MI appointments at a Tertiary paediatric hospital in Australia, between January and December 2022. Data were extracted from the Radiology Information System and integrated with socio-economic census data through linking with postcode. Chi-squared, and logistic regression analysis were performed to identify significant predictors of non-attendance.
    Results: Out of 17,962 scheduled outpatient appointments, 6.2 % did not attend. Males were less likely to attend than females (7.3 % vs. 5.8 %; p < 0.001). Older children had the highest frequency of non-attendance (p < 0.001). First Nations identified children had a higher likelihood of non-attendance at 14.5 % compared to non-First Nations at 5.8 %, and the odds ratio (OR) of First Nation children not attending was 2.54 (CI 2.13-3.03; p < 0.001) higher than non-First Nations children. Children from areas of disadvantage were less likely to attend (p < 0.001). Bone mineral densitometry had the highest odds of non-attendance (19.4 % of bookings) compared to other imaging modalities (p < 0.001).
    Conclusion: The following characteristics were associated with non-attendance: older male gender, residing in areas of socio-economic disadvantage, or identifying as First Nations Australians. By reviewing these findings with the cultural and professional experience of our Indigenous co-author, we have identified some strategies for improving attendance amongst First Nations children.
    Implications for practice: Factors associated with non-attendance, or "missed opportunities for care", provide opportunities for intervention to improve attendance for vulnerable groups of children who require medical imaging.
