Longitudinal Insights into Student Behaviors and Program Impact: A Multi-Year Analysis of Post-Program Surveys Pre- and Post-COVID-19
Substance use is arguably the most pertinent concern for college students. The prolonged use of substances has consequences that may impact many aspects of one’s life. As a result of decades worth of research, multiple evidence-based interventions have been created to help aid college students. One of these interventions includes BASICS, Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students. This study examined experiences of the BASICS program participants with special attention to the impact of COVID-19. It used a convenience sample of 44 after-program survey respondents from 2015 to 2022 at a faith-based private university in Texas. This study found no statistically significant difference in major outcomes before and after the onset of COVID-19. A consistent patten in the reduction of drinking after BASICS program across all time points implies that BASICS may be a promising practice model to address substance use problems of college students. Given the limitations of this study, it is recommended that practitioners improve the ways to monitor and evaluate the program

Associations between national viral hepatitis policies/programmes and country-level socioeconomic factors: a sub-analysis of data from the 2013 WHO viral hepatitis policy report
BACKGROUND: As more countries worldwide develop national viral
hepatitis strategies, it is important to ask whether
context-specific factors affect their decision-making. This
study aimed to determine whether country-level socioeconomic
factors are associated with viral hepatitis programmes and
policy responses across WHO Member States (MS). METHODS: WHO MS
focal points completed a questionnaire on national viral
hepatitis policies. This secondary analysis of data reported in
the 2013 Global Policy Report on the Prevention and Control of
Viral Hepatitis in WHO Member States used logistic regression to
examine associations between four survey questions and four
socioeconomic factors: country income level, Human Development
Index (HDI), health expenditure and physician density. RESULTS:
This analysis included 119 MS. MS were more likely to have
routine viral hepatitis surveillance and to have a national
strategy and/or policy/guidelines for preventing infection in
healthcare settings if they were in the higher binary categories
for income level, HDI, health expenditure and physician density.
In multivariable analyses, the only significant finding was a
positive association between having routine surveillance and
being in the higher binary HDI category (adjusted odds ratio 26;
95% confidence interval 2.0-340). CONCLUSION: Countries with
differing socioeconomic status indicators did not appear to
differ greatly regarding the existence of key national policies
and programmes. A more nuanced understanding of the multifaceted
interactions of socioeconomic factors, health policy, service
delivery and health outcomes is needed to support country-level
efforts to eliminate viral hepatitis

A major outburst from the X-ray binary RX J0520.5-6932
We report on the analysis of 8 years of MAssive Compact Halo Objects (MACHO)
data for the source RX J0520.5-6932. A regular period of 24.4 days has been
confirmed, however this is manifest almost entirely in the red part of the
spectrum. A major outburst, lasting approximately 200 days, was observed which
increased the apparent brightness of the object by approximately 0.15
magnitudes without significantly altering its V-R colour index. This outburst
was also seen in X-ray data. The evidence from this analysis points to the
identification of this object as a Be/X-ray binary with a periodically variable
circumstellar disk and a very early optical counterpart.Comment: Paper has been accepted by MNRA
