    Abstract Objective: Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 208 requires every passenger vehicle to provide an auditory signal lasting 4 to 8 seconds and a visual display lasting 60 seconds when the driver is unbelted at ignition. This requirement does not increase seat belt use. This paper summarizes the latest research on using vehicle technology to increase seat belt use and existing safety standards worldwide to support the strengthening of FMVSS 208.
    Method: Studies of seat belt reminders and interlocks published in peer-reviewed journals, conference proceedings, or as technical reports were identified in online databases and reviewed along with current requirements worldwide. Results from past research were used to estimate the front- and rear-seat daytime belt use rate and the annual number of lives that could be saved by a persistent audible reminder at each seating position.
    Results: Most motor vehicle occupants routinely buckle up. Those that do not typically forget, are going a short distance, or find belts uncomfortable. Seat belt reminders can remind or motivate occupants to buckle up. Enhanced reminders that exceed FMVSS 208 increase belt use by 6 percentage points. Reminders also can increase rear belt use, and although required throughout the world, are not required by FMVSS 208. More persistent reminders, like those required around the world, with a continuous, long-lasting audible signal increase belt use by 30% among drivers who do not routinely buckle up. If every vehicle in the U.S. had such a reminder at each seating position, then it was estimated that the daytime belt use rate in the U.S. would increase about 3 percentage points from 90.3% to 93.2% in the front row and by about 6 percentage points from 80% to 85.9% in the rear row. It was estimated that the increase in belt use from a continuous, long-lasting audible reminder could potentially save about 1,600 lives each year.Seat belt interlocks can increase belt use, but acceptance is a stumbling block. Public outcry ensued after interlocks were required in 1973, and public sentiment remains negative. Opinions toward front and rear reminders are more favorable. Furthermore, past research suggests interlocks may be no more effective for increasing seat belt use than persistent audible reminders. The effect of interlocks on rear belt use have not been explored.
    Conclusion: Persistent seat belt reminder systems that last at least 90 seconds can potentially save hundreds of U.S. motorists each year. Robust empirical evidence, successful exemplars from organizations throughout the world, and a clear public health benefit exists for strengthening FMVSS 208 to require more persistent audible reminders at every seating position.

    Abstract Persons who have renounced a prior transgender identification, often after some degree of social and medical transition, are increasingly visible. We recruited 78 US individuals ages 18-33 years who previously identified as transgender and had stopped identifying as transgender at least six months prior. On average, participants first identified as transgender at 17.1 years of age and had done so for 5.4 years at the time of their participation. Most (83%) participants had taken several steps toward social transition and 68% had taken at least one medical step. By retrospective reports, fewer than 17% of participants met DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for Gender Dysphoria in Childhood. In contrast, 53% of participants believed that "rapid-onset gender dysphoria" applied to them. Participants reported a high rate of psychiatric diagnoses, with many of these prior to trans-identification. Most participants (N = 71, 91%) were natal females. Females (43%) were more likely than males (0%) to be exclusively homosexual. Participants reported that their psychological health had improved dramatically since detransition/desistance, with marked decreases in self-harm and gender dysphoria and marked increases in flourishing. The most common reason given for initial trans-identification was confusing mental health issues or reactions to trauma for gender dysphoria. Reasons for detransition were more likely to reflect internal changes (e.g., the participants' own thought processes) than external pressures (e.g., pressure from family). Results suggest that, for some transgender individuals, detransition is both possible and beneficial.

    Abstract Physical activity (PA) decreased and sedentary behavior (SB) increased in the pediatric population during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. We examined the effects of PA and SB on cardiopulmonary exercise performance in children, adolescents and young adults both with and without underling cardiac disease, and hypothesized that there will be a change in aerobic and physical working capacity during the pandemic. This was a single-center retrospective longitudinal cohort study in patients age 6-22 years who underwent serial maximal cardiopulmonary exercise stress testing before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Metabolic variables were obtained; PA and SB data were extracted from clinic notes. A total of 122 patients (60% male) underwent serial exercise testing with a median age of 14 years at the first CPET. Predicted peak aerobic capacity significantly decreased among both females and males during the pandemic, even after adjusting for changes in somatic growth. There was no significant change in physical working capacity during the pandemic. Patients who were more aerobically fit experienced a greater decrease in aerobic capacity during the pandemic compared to those less fit. In conclusion, cardiopulmonary exercise performance, notably aerobic activity, decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic in children, adolescents and young adults compared to pre-pandemic values. This decline was most notable in those with the highest pre-pandemic aerobic capacity values and was independent of somatic growth or changes in BMI. This study has public health implications and demonstrates the importance of PA on overall cardiovascular health.

    Abstract Introduction: Many adults who smoke cigarettes use e-cigarettes to try to quit smoking; however, some are not successful. Identifying factors that are associated with successfully quitting smoking using e-cigarettes is important for maximizing cigarette cessation.
    Aims and methods: Online survey data were collected in 2021 from 857 adults in the United States who reported using e-cigarettes in a recent attempt to quit smoking. Survey items assessed patterns of e-cigarette use and device characteristics (flavors, device, and nicotine) used when trying to quit smoking. Multivariable linear regression models examined characteristics associated with the longest duration of smoking abstinence when using e-cigarettes to try to quit.
    Results: The average duration of smoking abstinence when using e-cigarettes during a quit attempt was 65 days (SD = 104). In the multivariable model, greater frequency of e-cigarette use when quitting and abruptly switching to e-cigarettes from cigarettes (vs. gradually reducing) were significantly associated with longer durations of abstinence (p < .001). Preference for non-tobacco (relative to tobacco) flavors and nicotine concentration were not associated with duration of abstinence, although preference for rechargeable pod and mod device types (vs. cig-a-likes) was associated with longer durations of abstinence.
    Conclusions: Patterns of e-cigarette use were related to abstinence duration, which may provide guidance for adults who are using e-cigarettes to quit smoking to encourage complete substitution and maximize smoking cessation. Findings indicate that non-tobacco e-cigarette flavors and nicotine strength are not related to longer durations of cessation success for adults, which may inform tobacco regulatory policies limiting these constituents to protect public health.
    Implications: This study provides important new information about the characteristics of e-cigarettes used during an attempt to quit smoking among adults across the United States and identifies factors associated with quitting success. Patterns of e-cigarette use were associated with longer durations of abstinence. In contrast, few e-cigarette characteristics were associated with abstinence. Although preference for some pod and mod device types was associated with longer abstinence duration compared to earlier cig-a-like devices, preference for non-tobacco (vs. tobacco) flavor and nicotine concentration were not associated with abstinence. Findings may help inform guidance for adults using e-cigarettes to quit smoking and support tobacco regulatory policies.
