Who says waiting is boring? How consumer narratives within online communities help reduce stress while waiting
Authors: Hassan Mahmud , Hassan Rumman 
Published: November 2020

PurposeWaiting is associated with pain and stress that leads to frustration. However, consumer narratives may help cope with the stress associated with such waiting. This study aims to understand consumer waiting behaviours within online communities.Design/methodology/approachData was gathered following a netnographic approach from a Facebook brand community (FBC) by downloading and archiving the threads related to members’ waiting behaviours. This resulted in 91 pages of data, with 438 individual comments and 179 distinct threads.FindingsThe data revealed that members of the sampled FBC exercised waiting behaviour. The authors confirm that waiting for a product is associated with both negative outcomes (frustration, boredom, etc.), but positive ones (create stronger ties with the brand and fellow members, etc.). Members of the FBC exhibited reduced consumer anxiety and stress during the waiting period.Research limitations/implicationsThis study found 13 waiting behaviours within the FBC and supports the idea that new value-creating behaviours are noticed within the context of FBCs.Originality/valueThis study focuses on waiting within a goods-based context (waiting to be served has been examined predominantly within the service sector). The study explored the behaviours of consumers who use social media to complain about extended waiting periods to receive the product along with other consumer reactions to these waiting crowds to reduce the emotional pain associated with such delays.
“Act-as-if you are infected and infectious”: what has the global therapeutic community movement learnt from COVID-19?
Authors: Gosling Helena , Yates Rowdy 
Published: November 2020

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is twofold: to reflect upon what the global therapeutic community (TC) movement has learnt from coronavirus and to consider how TCs will continue to adapt and evolve in a post-pandemic climate.

Design/methodology/approach
This is a viewpoint paper based on the authors’ participation in an international learning event whereby speakers from TCs from around the world spoke about how they adapted their services to overcome adversity.

Findings
The findings are usefully thought out as shelter, creativity, reintegration and employment, technology and roots. Based on the material discussed in the learning event, it would seem that the global TC movement has engaged in a process of looking to the past to move forward by drawing upon founding principles and prescriptions of the TC tradition, rooted in humanistic and indeed humanitarian responses to staff, client and sociocultural needs.

Originality/value
According to the author, this paper is one of the first attempts to capture how TCs from across the globe have responded to the threat of coronavirus.
Meerkat helpers buffer the detrimental effects of adverse environmental conditions on fecundity, growth and survival
Authors: Groenewoud Frank , Clutton‐Brock Tim 
Published: November 2020

AbstractRecent comparative studies show that cooperative breeding is positively correlated with harsh and unpredictable environments and it is suggested that this association occurs because helpers buffer the negative effects of adverse ecological conditions on fitness.In the Kalahari, rainfall varies widely between‐ and within years, affecting primary production and the availability of the principal prey of cooperatively breeding Kalahari meerkats,Suricata suricatta. Our study aimed to establish whether the presence and number of helpers buffer the negative effects of variation in rainfall on the fecundity and body mass of breeding females, and the survival and growth of pups.We investigate the relationship between group size and variation in rainfall on dominant female fecundity, body mass, and offspring survival and growth using an additive modelling approach on 21 years of individual‐based records of the life histories of individual meerkats.We show that breeding female fecundity is reduced during periods of low rainfall but that the effects of low rainfall are mitigated by increases in group size and body mass because heavier females and those in larger groups have increased fecundity and reduced interbirth intervals. Pup growth and survival are also reduced during periods of low rainfall, but only in smaller groups.Our results support the suggestion that cooperative breeding mitigates the detrimental effects of adverse environmental conditions and may enhance the capacity of species to occupy environments where food availability is low and unpredictable.
Sexual consent attitudes and rape‐supportive norms among gender and sexual minority students
Authors: Glace Alyssa M. , Kaufman Keith L. 
Published: November 2020

AbstractCollege students’ views on sexual consent are developed in discussion with their peers and impacted by the traditional sexual script. This script prescribes gender roles that encourage men's coercion and facilitate victim‐blame. This heteronormative script may be less applicable to sexual minority individuals during same‐gender sexual relationships and to gender minority individuals, who often hold more fluid views on gender. We examine the consent attitudes and perceived rape‐supportive peer norms of American gender and sexual minority (GSM) college students. Using archival data from a campus climate survey (N = 2040), we conducted a series of chi‐square analyses to compare student consent attitudes and perceptions of rape‐supportive peer norms by GSM status and gender. GSM students (vs. cisgender heterosexual students) and women and nonbinary people (vs. men) reported higher support for sexual consent. Having an identity that differs from the roles prescribed in traditional sexual scripts may confer an advantage in developing prosocial views of sexual consent.
The complex relationship between colorism and poor health outcomes with African Americans: A systematic review
Authors: Keyes Latocia , Small Eusebius , Nikolova Silviya 
Published: November 2020

AbstractColorism has a deleterious effect on cognition and health impacting populations. Among African Americans, colorism and social stratification based on skin complexion, has profound sociological effects. These social relationships in daily living show the health burden associated with colorism is enormous. Dark‐skinned African Americans have lower socioeconomic status, diminished prestige, and are less likely to hold elected offices compared to their lighter skin counterparts. This systematic review critically examines a wider scope of effects colorism has on African American adults, a topic not well understood and underexplored. To what extent does colorism impact the psychosocial, educational, and economic outcomes of African Americans? What is the evidence for the efficacy of colorism research associated with poor health? PRISMA guidelines, which consisted of a 27‐item checklist and a four‐phase flow diagram, were used to evaluate research studies. A thematic analysis approach was used to identify and summarize qualitative and quantitative studies. The findings illustrate that African Americans with darker skin are significantly impacted by prejudice solely because of the color of their skin. The multidimensionality of colorism within society for African Americans delineates further damaging impacts on human health. Implications for social and policy changes are discussed.

AimsThere are conflicting signals in the literature about comparative safety and effectiveness of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) for nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF).MethodsWe conducted multicentre matched cohort studies with secondary meta‐analysis to assess safety and effectiveness of dabigatran, rivaroxaban and apixaban across 9 administrative healthcare databases. We included adults with NVAF initiating anticoagulation therapy (dabigatran, rivaroxaban or apixaban), and constructed 3 cohorts to compare DOACs pairwise. The primary outcome was pooled hazard ratio (pHR) of ischaemic stroke or systemic thromboembolism. Secondary outcomes included pHR of major bleeding, and a composite of stroke, major bleeding, or all‐cause mortality. We used proportional hazard Cox regressions models, and pooled estimates were obtained with random effect meta‐analyses.ResultsThe cohorts included 73 414 new users of dabigatran, 92 881 of rivaroxaban, and 61 284 of apixaban. After matching, the pHRs (95% confidence intervals) comparing rivaroxaban initiation to dabigatran were: 1.11 (0.93, 1.32) for ischaemic stroke or systemic thromboembolism, 1.26 (1.09, 1.46) for major bleeding, and 1.17 (1.05, 1.30) for the composite endpoint. For apixaban vs dabigatran, they were: 0.91 (0.74, 1.12) for ischaemic stroke or systemic thromboembolism, 0.89 (0.75, 1.05) for major bleeding, and 0.94 (0.78 to 1.14) for the composite endpoint. For apixaban vs rivaroxaban, they were: 0.85 (0.74, 0.99) for ischaemic stroke or systemic thromboembolism, 0.61 (0.53, 0.70) for major bleeding, and 0.82 (0.76, 0.88) for the composite endpoint.ConclusionWe found that apixaban use is associated with lower risks of stroke and bleeding compared with rivaroxaban, and similar risks compared with dabigatran.

AbstractThroughout history, humans have settled in areas of high biodiversity. Today these areas are home to our biggest urban centers with biodiversity at increasing risk from escalating cumulative threats. Identifying the management strategies to conserve species within such regions, and ensuring effective governance to oversee their implementation, presents enormous challenges. Using a novel Priority Threat Management (PTM) approach that calculates the cost‐effectiveness of conservation action and co‐governance, we discover that the 102 species at risk of local extinction within Canada's most diverse, heavily urbanized coastal region, the Fraser River estuary, require urgent investment in management strategies costing an estimated CAD$381 M over 25 years. Our study also suggests that co‐governance underpins conservation success in urban areas, by increasing the feasibility of management strategies. This study underscores that biodiversity conservation in heavily urbanized areas is not a lost cause but does require strategic planning, attention to governance, and large‐scale investment.

Published: November 2020

AbstractBackgroundHidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory disease involving the skin bearing apocrine glands. There are numerous comorbidities and associated diseases among patients with HS. The association of HS and thyroid abnormalities is equivocal. We aimed to explore whether HS is associated with thyroid disorders.MethodsIn this cross‐sectional large‐scale population‐based study in Israel, patients with a validated diagnosis of HS were matched at a proportion of 1:5 with age‐ and gender‐matched healthy controls without HS. A cross‐checking for HS diagnosis by International Classification of Diseases, ninth revision (ICD‐9) coding, and hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism by ICD‐9 coding was performed. Demographic and exposure covariates were identified. Univariate and multivariate logistic regressions were utilized to establish the association of HS with thyroid disorders.ResultsStudy participants included 4,191 HS patients and 20,941 controls. The average age of patients was 39.7 years old, and 61.8% were female. 53.4% of HS patients and 13.5% of controls (P < 0.001) were smokers. Odds ratios (ORs) for hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism in HS were 2.91 (95% confidence interval [CI] 2.48–3.40) and 2.25 (95% CI 1.55–3.28), respectively (P < 0.001 for both). While the association of HS with hypothyroidism was maintained across genders and all age groups, and remained positive after controlling for smoking status, the association with hyperthyroidism remained positive only among females, middle‐aged patients, and nonsmokers.ConclusionHS is independently associated with hypothyroidism. The association of HS with hyperthyroidism held significance only in limited subgroups. Smoking status is a major modifier, mainly in the association of HS with hyperthyroidism.
Supporting mental health staff following exposure to occupational violence – staff perceptions of ‘peer’ support
Authors: Bakes‐Denman Lara , Mansfield Yolanda , Meehan Tom 
Published: November 2020

AbstractMental health professionals frequently work in environments where stressful, unpredictable, and potentially volatile situations can arise. Staff responses to these, often violent events, can be severe and enduring. Psychological first aid provided by a colleague following exposure to such violence is gaining increasing acceptance as a means of assisting affected individuals. However, there has been little attention to how staff perceive this support. In this study, interviews were conducted with 13 staff employed in a secure facility and thematically analysed using content analysis. Four content themes emerged: responding to emotional distress, empowering staff through practical support, the good provider, and resilience. The results indicate that staff value and benefit from receiving support from peers following exposure to occupational violence. Most would access peer support again and would consider recommending it to others. A small number choose not to engage with the programme and the reasons for this are also discussed. This type of peer support could be applied in other high‐risk workplaces as a key element of an integrated and comprehensive workplace violence prevention and management strategy.

Published: November 2020

AbstractAimTo evaluate the impact of a mother‐role development program on postpartum health‐service utilization by adolescent mothers.MethodsA single center, parallel, randomized, controlled, open‐label trial using a computer‐generated sequence was conducted at Siriraj Hospital. In all, 120 teenage mothers who delivered February 2015–December 2016 were randomized into experimental and control groups. The experimental group participated in a 2‐year, mother‐role development program at the Young Family Clinic. The two groups' characteristics, pregnancy outcomes and postpartum follow‐up details over the 2‐year period were compared. The main outcome measure was the utilization of maternal healthcare services (MHS).ResultsThe teenage mothers were randomized into two groups of 60 participants each. Many were progressively lost to follow‐up, leaving only 37 (experimental group, 19; control group, 18) for the intention‐to‐treat analysis. The results demonstrated a higher MHS utilization by the experimental group, but only at the 6‐week postpartum follow‐up. The usage of long‐acting, reversible contraception (birth control implants and intrauterine devices) rose from 53.3% (immediate postpartum) to 95.5% (2 years postpartum). The two groups also had identical repeat pregnancy rates (6.67%; four participants in each), a marked decrease from 20% in a prior study. The breastfeeding rate was consistently higher among the mothers undertaking the mother‐role development program.ConclusionThe program increased both MHS utilization during the initial postpartum period and the breastfeeding duration. Access to immediate postpartum contraception and long‐acting, reversible contraception was associated with a reduction in repeat teen pregnancies. Having a multidisciplinary team was key to the health‐service improvements.

AbstractHomestead food production (HFP) programmes improve the availability of vegetables by providing training in growing nutrient‐dense crops. In rural Tanzania, most foods consumed are carbohydrate‐rich staples with low micronutrient concentrations. This cluster‐randomized controlled trial investigated whether women growing home gardens have higher dietary diversity, household food security or probability of consuming nutrient‐rich food groups than women in a control group. We enrolled 1,006 women of reproductive age in 10 villages in Pwani Region in eastern Tanzania, split between intervention (INT) and control (CON) groups. INT received (a) agricultural training and inputs to promote HFP and dietary diversity and (b) nutrition and public health counselling from agricultural extension workers and community health workers. CON received standard services provided by agriculture and health workers. Results were analysed using linear regression models with propensity weighting adjusting for individual‐level confounders and differential loss to follow up. Women in INT consumed 0.50 (95% CI [0.20, 0.80],p= 0.001) more food groups per day than women in CON. Women in INT were also 14 percentage points (95% CI [6, 22],p= 0.001) more likely to consume at least five food groups per day, and INT households were 6 percentage points (95% CI [−13, 0],p= 0.059) less likely to experience moderate‐to‐severe food insecurity compared with CON. This home gardening intervention had positive effects on diet quality and food security after 1 year. Future research should explore whether impact is sustained over time as well as the effects of home garden interventions on additional measures of nutritional status.
Tracking the Evolution of Chinese Learners’ Multilingual Motivation Through a Longitudinal Q Methodology
Authors: ZHENG YONGYAN , LU XIUCHUAN , REN WEI 
Published: November 2020

AbstractThis study uses a Q methodology to track the changing motivational profiles of 15 Chinese university students simultaneously engaged in second‐language (L2) English and third‐language (L3) Spanish learning over 1.5 years. Guided by complex dynamic systems theory (CDST), the study aims to investigate the initial trigger that propelled the Chinese learners to engage in intensive L3 learning and to chart the different routes of multilingual self‐development. Over the 1.5 years, Q sort tasks were administered at 3 time points, and retrospective interviews elicited data to complement the Q sort analysis. A nonspecific multilingual posture was found to be the initial trigger for voluntary investment in intensive L3 learning. A motivational profile with a dominating translingual and transcultural orientation develops into either more constitutive ideal multilingual selves or more language‐specific integrative ideal selves, continuously exerting motivational forces. Another profile, which has a dominating instrumental orientation, generates diminishing motivational forces. We argue that different aspects of multilingual learning motivation may be operating in parallel through correlative associations in the holistic, dynamic, and relational system of multilingual self. The article concludes by discussing pedagogical implications for learning and teaching multiple foreign languages for university students.
Perinatal depression screening in Australia: A position paper
Authors: Hazell Raine Karen , Thorpe Karen , Boyce Philip 
Published: November 2020

AbstractPerinatal depression can have enduring adverse effects on women and their children and families, incurring substantial ongoing economic and personal costs. A significant proportion of the cost of perinatal depression relates to adverse impacts on the child, most likely mediated through impairment to the mother‐infant relationship. In recognition of this problem, Australia has invested in routine perinatal depression screening. Our previous research produced convergent findings suggesting that expected benefits for children have not yet been realised through perinatal depression screening. We question the potential of including a measure of personality in current perinatal depression screening for identifying maternal mental health problems and suboptimal mother‐infant relationships. This paper reviews our previous research findings within the broader context of perinatal depression screening. We propose a position, that perinatal depression screening in Australia should be redesigned to more precisely detect vulnerable mother‐infant relationships, parenting, maternal mental health, and infant psychosocial and psychological development. Practice change to appropriately target antenatal interventions may more efficiently improve both maternal and child outcomes, thereby contributing to greater efficiency and cost savings for the health system.
Debt and Overindebtedness: Psychological Evidence and its Policy Implications
Authors: Lea Stephen E. G. 
Published: November 2020

AbstractThis paper reviews psychological studies of real‐life use of credit, debt, and overindebtedness, with the aim of making policy recommendations that could reduce the damage done by debt to both individuals and society. The overall level of debt in society is heavily influenced by the level of economic inequality and social insecurity, and no psychological factor can prevent debt if excessive socioeconomic disadvantage is not addressed. Within that constraint, psychological precursors to debt problems, psychological impacts of debt, and psychological strategies to help people get out of debt can be identified. Research results in these areas are used to formulate a series of recommendations that could help mitigate debt problems.
