    Abstract Sexual activity and experimentation are normative parts of adolescent development that may, at the same time, be associated with adverse health outcomes, including the acquisition of sexually transmitted infections, unplanned pregnancy, and teen dating violence. Anticipatory guidance regarding sexual and reproductive health for teens should address normal sexual development issues, such as identity and attractions, safe relationships, safer sex, and contraception. Health care providers can enhance the sexual education of the youth they see and help mitigate negative health outcomes. This practice point offers a '7-P' approach to ensure that health care providers obtain comprehensive sexual health assessments for adolescents. Teen issues such as identity, confidentiality, and consent, and dating violence are discussed, and Canadian Paediatric Society resources are cited to provide more detailed care pathways on related issues: contraception, pregnancy, and sexually transmitted infections.

We examined bidirectional associations between race-based experiences and awareness of systemic racism-operationalized as understanding systemic causes of racial disparities in education.

    Abstract Early COVID-19 pandemic data suggested racial/ethnic minority and low-income earning people bore the greatest burden of infection. Structural racism, the reinforcement of racial and ethnic discrimination via policy, provides a framework for understanding disparities in health outcomes like COVID-19 infection. Residential racial and economic segregation is one indicator of structural racism. Little attention has been paid to the relationship of infection to relative overall concentrations of risk (i.e., segregation of the most privileged from the most disadvantaged). We used ordinary least squares and geographically weighted regression models to evaluate the relationship between racial and economic segregation, measured by the Index of Concentration at the Extremes, and COVID-19 cases in Louisiana. We found a significant global association between racial segregation and cumulative COVID-19 case rate in Louisiana and variation across the state during the study period. The northwest and central regions exhibited a strong negative relationship indicating greater risk in areas with high concentrations of Black residents. On the other hand, the southeastern part of the state exhibited more neutral or positive relationships indicating greater risk in areas with high concentrations of White residents. Our findings that the relationship between racial segregation and COVID-19 cases varied within a state further support evidence that social and political determinants, not biological, drive racial disparities. Small area measures and measures of polarization provide localized information better suited to tailoring public health policy according to the dynamics of communities at the census tract level, which may lead to better health outcomes.

    Abstract Patients rarely experience complications at the time of Etonogestrel subdermal contraceptive implant placement. Few case reports describe infection or allergy as a complication at the time of implant insertion. In this case series, we discuss three infections and one allergic reaction following Etonogestrel implant placement, review six previous case reports of eight cases of infection or allergy, and discuss management of these complications. We highlight differential diagnosis when encountering a placement complication, considerations of dermatologic conditions when placing Etonogestrel implants, and discuss when to consider removal of the implant when a complication occurs.

    Abstract Introduction: We applied Azjen's theory of planned behavior (TPB) and Triandis' theory of interpersonal behavior (TIB) to understand medical students' intention to change behavior based on feedback received during an obstetrics and gynecology clerkship. Both models presume that behavioral intention is strongly related to actual behavior.

    Abstract Objective: To describe anti-obesity bias in medical education including impact on patients, growth of biases over time, and education-based initiatives aimed at reducing bias.
    Design: We reviewed available literature on anti-obesity bias in medical education and initiatives to address this bias.
    Setting: Information from a wide variety of medical educational settings was included.
    Participants: N/A RESULTS: Anti-obesity bias in healthcare is an independent risk factor for poor health outcomes and is pervasive throughout the culture of medicine. Medical students identify operating rooms as the number one location for anti-obesity comments, and students' biases increase throughout medical school. We propose several interventions (the 6 I's) as the next step in addressing this bias.

    Abstract Previous studies report a race and mental health paradox: Whites score higher on measures of major depression compared to African Americans, but the opposite is true for psychological distress (i.e., African Americans score higher on distress measures compared to Whites). Independently, race, age, and gender outcomes for psychological distress are well documented in the literature. However, there is relatively little research on how psychological distress interferes with the lives of African Americans and Whites at the intersection of their various race, age, and gender identities. This study uses data from the 2016 National Health Interview Survey to examine age and gender differences in psychological distress and how much psychological distress interferes with the lives of African Americans and Whites. Our study findings are contrary to the paradox such that young White women (M = 3.36, SD = 1.14) and middle-aged White men (M = 2.55, SD = 3.97) experienced higher psychological distress than all other race, age, and gender groups. Psychological distress interference was relatively high among the high distress groups, except for older African American men (M = 1.73, SD = 1.05) and young African American women (M = 1.93, SD = 0.95). Implications for studies that consider cultural experiences of psychological distress, and how it impacts different demographic groups are discussed.

    Abstract Recent reports have highlighted disparities in representation of Black men within research, calling for more work to be done with this group. The authors take up this call by exploring whether adherence to masculine norms influences mental health outcomes among young Black men. The sample included survey responses from 18- to 30-year-old Black men (N = 273) enrolled at five colleges and universities in the midwestern United States. Two theoretically relevant subscales from the Conformity to Masculine Norms Inventory (that is, self-reliance and emotional control) were used to measure adherence to masculine norms, and depressive symptoms were measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire. Confirmatory factor analysis results indicate that the model fit the data well. Furthermore, self-reliance was associated with higher rates of depressive symptoms (β = .358, p < .001), but emotional control was not (β = .137, p = .099). Study findings suggest that depression treatment interventions should be tailored to incorporate aspects of masculinity that are most salient to young Black men. In addition, social work researchers, clinicians, and service providers are uniquely positioned to contribute to the promotion of mental wellness among this underserved population and should be prepared to attend to young Black men's mental health needs.

    Abstract Ocular graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a common complication that occurs after allogeneic transplantation. It can cause severe dry eyes that are described as having a burning, gritty, and painful sensation. Ocular GVHD can affect quality of life by causing pain and photophobia, limiting activities of daily living (e.g., reading, watching television), compromising safety while driving, and permanently damaging vision. Pre- and post-transplantation evaluations by an ophthalmologist are recommended. Routine assessments using the National Institutes of Health eye score should be administered to patients at each follow-up visit to their transplantation physician. Treatment options include lubricating eye drops, immunomodulator and steroid drops, and punctal occlusion. Relieving symptoms is difficult, and although multiple treatment options exist, many are ineffective. The Boston Foundation for Sight's scleral lens is an available option that promotes corneal healing and symptom relief. The current article discusses treatment options and supportive care measures for patients with ocular GVHD aimed at relieving symptoms and preventing complications.
