We assess associations of somatic and cognitive/affective depressive symptom clusters with monocyte activation (soluble (s)CD14, sCD163), systemic inflammation (interleukin-6 (IL-6), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP)), and coagulation (D-dimer, fibrinogen) in people with HIV (PWH) on suppressive antiretroviral therapy with depression. Utilizing baseline data from a randomized controlled trial, we found no significant associations in linear regression models examining individual depressive symptom clusters; however, models examining both clusters simultaneously showed that the somatic cluster was positively associated with inflammation biomarkers, while the cognitive/affective cluster was negatively associated with inflammation and coagulation biomarkers (suggesting a cooperative suppression effect). Our findings indicate a differential association with depressive symptom clusters and biological mechanisms underlying cardiovascular disease (CVD) in HIV, which may be driven by unique components of each depressive symptom cluster. This line of research could identify subgroups of PWH with depression at elevated CVD risk needing early CVD prevention approaches. Supported by R01 HL126557.

A \'Direct to Psychology Insomnia\' pathway was developed for implementation within a multidisciplinary sleep disorders service in a tertiary hospital in Brisbane, Australia. The project was informed by implementation science principles and methodology to re-design the model of care (MoC). A consensus group workshop using the Nominal Group Technique (NGT) with 12 multidisciplinary staff was undertaken to develop the new MoC. The workshop explored inclusion and exclusion criteria for a Direct to Psychology pathway including patient flow and enablers. The team endorsed a MoC that was acceptable to stakeholders and addressed service-level imperatives. The findings highlighted that patient inclusion or exclusion should be overseen by the Sleep Physician team and an Advanced Psychologist with behavioural sleep medicine expertise. Continuum of care for patients referred via primary care providers was considered. Barriers and risks to the MoC changes were identified which informed the refinement of the MoC.

OBJECTIVE: Oral hygiene-related self-efficacy (OHSE) describes one\'s confidence to successfully execute oral hygiene behaviour. The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term course of OHSE in patients during initial periodontal therapy (IPT) and supportive periodontal therapy (SPT) and its association with clinical parameters.
METHODS: Patients diagnosed with periodontitis, undergoing either IPT or SPT, were evaluated at two timepoints. Clinical examination included pocket probing depths (PPDs), clinical attachment loss (CAL), bleeding on probing (BOP), plaque index (PI) and gingival index (GI). Patients\' OHSE was assessed with a questionnaire. Statistical analyses included t-tests and linear regression models.
RESULTS: Ninety-eight patients from an initial group of 201 patients were evaluated after 4 years. The overall OHSE score increased significantly in the IPT group (mean 11.65 ± 15.6, p = .001). The increase in the OHSE category \'interdental cleaning\' was significantly correlated with a decrease in the number of pockets requiring treatment (Spearman correlation rs = -.2349, p = .022) and periodontal inflamed surface area (PISA) (rs = -.2099, p = .042).
CONCLUSIONS: Patients under IPT showed a significant increase of OHSE compared to those under SPT. Improved OHSE, particularly in interdental cleaning, appears to be associated with sustained success of periodontal therapy.

We examined the psychometric properties of the Physical Activity, Nutrition, and Technology (PANT) survey, developed by researchers to track weight management behaviors among youth. Data from 2,039 middle school students (M age = 12.4, SD = .5; 51.4% girls) were analyzed to explore and then confirm the factor structure of the PANT survey. We also examined the bivariate associations between the PANT survey, body mass index (BMI), and the Progressive Aerobic Cardiorespiratory Endurance Run (PACER). Results suggest that the PANT survey is comprised of two factors-Physical Activity and Healthy Choices-each with adequate internal consistency (α = .79 and 0.86, respectively). The Physical Activity subscale appears to be significantly associated with both z-BMI (r = -0.10, p < .001) and the PACER (r = 0.33, p < .001) in the anticipated directions, but the criterion validity of the Healthy Choices subscale is less clear. We discuss these findings and explore future directions for developing meaningful self-report wellness behavior scales for youth.

BACKGROUND: Screening for adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and resilience in pregnancy is a promising practice for mitigating ACEs-related health complications. Yet, the best follow-up for pregnant patients with high ACEs and/or low resilience has not been established.
OBJECTIVE: This study evaluates referrals to and participation in an embedded health psychologist (EHP) intervention for pregnant patients with ACEs and/or low resilience.
METHODS: Patients in 3 Kaiser Permanente Northern California medical centers with ACEs who had also received resilience screening during standard prenatal care and who were participating in an EHP intervention were included (N = 910). The authors used multivariable logistic regression to examine whether ACEs (0, 1-2, 3+) and resilience (high vs low) were associated with referrals to and participation in EHP intervention. They also evaluated the impact of EHP intervention through clinician (N = 53) and patient (N = 51) surveys.
RESULTS: Patients with 3+ vs 0 ACEs were more likely to receive an EHP referral (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 2.89, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.93-4.33) and were more likely to participate in EHP intervention (aOR = 2.85, 95% CI: 1.87-4.36). Those with low vs high resilience were also more likely to receive an EHP referral (aOR = 1.86, 95% CI: 1.32-2.62) and participate in EHP (aOR = 1.71, 95% CI: 1.19-2.44). When ACEs and resilience were combined, those with high ACEs and low resilience had the greatest odds of referrals and participation. Patients and clinicians reported positive experiences with EHP intervention.
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with higher ACEs and lower resilience scores were more likely to be referred to and participate in EHP intervention, suggesting that at-risk patients can be successfully linked with a health psychologist when accessible within obstetric care.

Individuals with substance use problems show lower executive control and alterations in prefrontal brain systems supporting emotion regulation and impulse control. A separate literature suggests that heightened inflammation also increases risk for substance use, in part, through targeting brain systems involved in executive control. Research on neural and inflammatory signaling in substance use, however, has occurred in parallel. Drawing on recent neuroimmune network models, we used fMRI to examine the relationships between executive control-related brain activity (as elicited by an n-back working memory task), peripheral inflammation, as quantified by inflammatory cytokines and C-reactive protein (CRP), and substance use for the past month in 93 participants [mean age = 24.4 (SD = 0.6)]. We operationalized low executive control as a neural inefficiency during the n-back task to achieve normative performance, as reflected in higher working memory-related brain activity and lower activity in the default mode network (DMN). Consistent with prediction, individuals with low executive control and high inflammation reported more substance use over the past month, controlling for behavioral performance on the n-back, sex, time between assessments, body-mass-index (BMI), and personal socioeconomic status (SES) (interaction between inflammation and working memory-related brain activity, b = 0.210, p = 0.005; interaction between inflammation and DMN, b = -0.219, p < 0.001). Findings suggest that low executive control and high inflammation may be associated with higher substance use. This has implications for understanding psychological, neural, and immunological risk for substance use problems and the development of interventions to target each of these components.

Open Science practices are integral to increasing transparency, reproducibility, and accessibility of research in health psychology and behavioral medicine. Drives to facilitate Open Science practices are becoming increasingly evident in journal editorial policies, including the establishment of new paper formats such as Registered Reports and Data Notes. This paper provides: (i) an overview of the current state of Open Science policies within health psychology and behavioral medicine, (ii) a call for submissions to an Article Collection of Registered Reports and Data Notes as new paper formats within the journal of Health Psychology & Behavioral Medicine, (iii) an overview of Registered Reports and Data Notes, and (iv) practical considerations for authors and reviewers of Registered Reports and Data Notes.

Previous literature has focused on either individual models of supervision, developing trainees\' interprofessional competencies, or on developing and maintaining interprofessional relationships outside of training. For psychologists in medical settings, these concepts are inextricably linked, and supervision must combine these professional practices to successfully meet the needs of psychology trainees, patients, and interprofessional colleagues, in an increasingly integrated healthcare landscape. This paper presents a model for advancing interprofessional collaborative practice competencies in supervision as health psychology trainees progress through the developmental stages of clinical competency, while supervising psychologists also maintain interprofessional relationships. The Interprofessional Collaboration Supervision Model (IPCSM)for Psychology describes trainee, patient, and interprofessional team factors for supervising psychologists to consider in supervision, as well as various interventions to deploy when these interrelated dynamics impact training. Case examples are provided along with discussion on how to implement this model in supervision.

UNASSIGNED: In Canada, one out of five people lives with chronic pain, a condition frequently co-occurring with other chronic illnesses. As with most chronic illnesses, successful engagement in symptom management is key. In the context of multiple illnesses, self-management involves daily prioritization of symptoms and conditions and decision-making, which can be challenging. Self-management of chronic illnesses can require more complex competence and tasks to address the different implications of each condition.
UNASSIGNED: Our research objective was to explore types and processes of self-management symptom prioritization among adults living with chronic pain and other chronic illnesses.
UNASSIGNED: This research was carried out as part of a larger study that adopted an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design. This study focused more specifically on the qualitative part of the study.
UNASSIGNED: Participants recruited for the qualitative component took part in a semi-structured individual interview online or in-person at the center hospitalier de l\'Université de Montréal.
UNASSIGNED: In total, 25 participants were interviewed, including 18 women and 7 men.
UNASSIGNED: To participate in the qualitative part of the study, participants were selected from the larger study and were eligible if they were 18 years old or older and experiencing pain for more than 3 months and had at least one other chronic illness for which they were receiving treatment or engaged in symptom management. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in-person or virtually and were transcribed verbatim. Reflexive thematic analysis was used to explore patients\' narratives, and an open and iterative approach was adopted to code interviews and generate themes.
UNASSIGNED: The first theme, focus on symptom prioritization, showed different prioritization processes, including prioritizing a dominant illness, prioritizing multiple illnesses to avoid undesirable consequences, and finally absence of or automatic processes of prioritization. In the second theme, we identified several characteristics of an illness, in this case chronic pain that made it a self-management priority: uncontrollable and disabling nature, omnipresence, unpredictability, unpleasantness, and invisibility to others. In the last theme, we highlighted that some psychosocial factors influenced levels of engagement in self-management and prioritization processes, including social support and the patient-physician relationship.
UNASSIGNED: Chronic pain was the medical condition most often prioritized by participants in their self-management tasks. Because of its characteristics, it was the medical condition that had the most negative impact on day-to-day functioning.

This mixed-methods study used an online cross-sectional survey to explore perspectives of 533 adult Australian women living with endometriosis pain, and their relationship with biopsychosocial factors. Four themes were constructed: The primary theme, \'Stigma and change\' reflected women\'s experience of dismissal, and the wish to reverse the narrative of pain as normal. Some women emphasised self-education and self-advocacy to affect change, reflecting the theme \'self-empowerment\'. Participants described the \'debilitating impact\' of endometriosis and the enduring difficulty of \'inadequate healthcare\', reflecting themes three and four. Analysis indicated type of social support may impact perceived outcomes for endometriosis. Hierarchical regression analyses indicated too few significant relationships between biopsychosocial factors and themes to indicate meaningful patterns without risk of common method variance. Future research should explore the influence of social support and interventions which develop participant autonomy and practitioner competence and knowledge, using disease-specific measures over time.
