You’d think developing a successful vaccine would be an unmitigated win, from a financial perspective. For many pharma companies, it hasn’t necessarily been so.

Mashup Score: 1Why things can go wrong when parents try to help children with their homework: The role of parental emotion regulation and mentalization. - 9 hour(s) ago
Parents’ involvement in homework can enhance children’s self-efficacy, self-regulation, and autonomous motivation for learning. Regrettably, in practice, parental involvement often contains intrusive, controlling, and discouraging behaviors that can curtail benefits. The present study sought to identify parenting characteristics that may contribute to counterproductive parental homework involvement. Two central mechanisms were examined: parental emotion dysregulation and low parental mentalization. We hypothesized that difficulties regulating negative affect would contribute to negative and hostile parental behavior during homework (but not to controlling behavior), whereas difficulties in parental mentalization would contribute to increased controlling parental practices (but not to parental negativity). The sample included 101 Israeli parents and their elementary school children (M = 8.32, SD = 1.77, 51.5% girls). Parent–child interaction during homework was videotaped at a home visi

Mashup Score: 5The GMC’s future vision for medical training must be challenged - 10 hour(s) ago
On 12 March the General Medical Council (GMC) published Our Vision for the Future of Medical Education and Training .1 This was accompanied by an explanatory blog from Colin Melville,2 the GMC’s medical director and director of education and standards, in which he queried whether the current system of undergraduate and postgraduate medical training was “fit for purpose” and suggested that “medical education needs transformation.” An enthusiastic and uncritical endorsement was published the next day by the three Royal Colleges of Physicians of London, Edinburgh, and Glasgow.3 Readers might wonder why this “vision” is even worthy of comment. But, as with so many policy documents that pass by the attention of jobbing clinicians busy with patient care, both the policy statement and the accompanying blog bear further scrutiny. The GMC outlines changes in three key areas of undergraduate and postgraduate training: Superficially, this all seems completely reasonable. The teaching of doctors h

Mashup Score: 3
According to various sources the world is likely to witness another pandemic on the scale of COVID-19 in the future. How can the social and behavioral sciences contribute to a successful response? Here we conduct a cost-effectiveness analysis of an under-evaluated yet promising tool from modern social and behavioral science: the randomized controlled trial conducted in an online survey environment (“in-survey RCT”). Specifically, we analyze whether, in a pandemic context, a public health campaign that uses an in-survey RCT to pre-test two or more different message interventions — and then selects the top-performing one for their public outreach — has greater impact in expectation than a campaign which does not use this strategy. Our results are threefold. First, in-survey RCT pre-testing is plausibly cost-effective for public health campaigns with typical resources. Second, in-survey RCT pre-testing has potentially powerful returns to scale: for well-resourced campaigns, it looks highl

Mashup Score: 1Insights into designing educational materials for persons living with dementia: a focus group study - BMC Geriatrics - 12 hour(s) ago
Background Persons living with dementia (PLWD) may experience communication difficulties that impact their ability to process written and pictorial information. Patient-facing education may help promote discontinuation of potentially inappropriate medications for older adults without dementia, but it is unclear how to adapt this approach for PLWD. Our objective was to solicit feedback from PLWD and their care partners to gain insights into the design of PLWD-facing deprescribing intervention materials and PLWD-facing education material more broadly. Methods We conducted 3 successive focus groups with PLWD aged ≥ 50 (n = 12) and their care partners (n = 10) between December 2022 and February 2023. Focus groups were recorded and transcripts were analyzed for overarching themes. Results We identified 5 key themes: [1] Use images and language consistent with how PLWD perceive themselves; [2] Avoid content that might heighten fear or anxiety; [3] Use straightforward delivery with simple lan
