About The Study: This study identified distinct trajectories of addictive use of social media, mobile phones, and video games from childhood to early adolescence and found links to suicidal behaviors, suicidal ideation, and worse mental health outcomes. High or increasing addictive use trajectories were common. Addictive screen use trajectories warrant further study regarding potential use for clinical evaluation of risk and for the design and testing of interventions to improve youth mental health.

About The Study: In this cohort study of birthing parent–infant dyads across the U.S., arsenic measured in public water systems was associated with birth outcomes at levels below the current U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s maximum contaminant level. The findings suggest that further reducing the maximum contaminant level for arsenic may decrease the number of infants with low birth weight in the U.S.

About The Study: Evidence from this systematic review and meta-analysis indicates that paternal mental distress is a potentially modifiable predictor of child development. Reducing mental distress in fathers perinatally is thus an important target for preventative interventions aiming to support fathers during the transition to parenthood and promote the health and well-being of next-generation offspring.

About The Study: The results of this cohort study suggest that medical cannabis laws and recreational cannabis laws enactment was associated with greater opioid use disorder (OUD) prevalence in Veterans Health Administration patients over time, with the greatest increases among middle-aged and older patients and those with chronic pain. The findings did not support state cannabis legalization as a means of reducing the burden of OUD during the ongoing opioid epidemic.

About The Study: The observed sensitivity and specificity measures for computed tomography perfusion and computed tomography angiography as an ancillary test for death by neurologic criteria did not meet the prespecified validation threshold of greater than 98%. Clinical examination remains the cornerstone of death by neurologic criteria, and ancillary imaging should be interpreted cautiously within a comprehensive clinical assessment.

This shift may reflect changes in drug markets, treatment access, harm reduction efforts, and population-level risk. Although the decline is encouraging, persistent disparities highlight the need for targeted interventions and improved understanding of the underlying drivers.

These findings highlight the urgent need for targeted public health interventions and enhanced surveillance, especially given the sustained impact of COVID-19 pandemic–related changes in alcohol consumption patterns.

About The Study: This study found that parent-reported firearm storage may be a poor estimator of teen perceived firearm access, regardless of teen gender, parental education, and urbanicity. Strictly focusing safety efforts on locked and unloaded firearm storage may not fully negate teen’s perceptions that they can access and load household firearms. Storing additional firearms securely may not prevent teen access if at least 1 household firearm remains unlocked.

About The Study: This cross-sectional study revealed high attrition rates among lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) medical students, with the highest observed among LGB Hispanic male and female students. Our findings highlight the importance of intersectionality in understanding attrition from medical school. Although future studies need to examine the cause of these disparities in attrition, LGB students experience discrimination within medical training environments, which may lead to risk of attrition.

Medigap Protection and Plan Switching Among Medicare Advantage Enrollees With Cancer

Its distribution will be solely digital and all content will be freely available for anyone to read.
About The Study: In this cohort study, state Medigap guaranteed issue protections were associated with higher rates of switching to traditional Medicare among Medicare Advantage beneficiaries newly diagnosed with cancer. These findings underscore the protective association of state Medigap regulations in facilitating a switch to traditional Medicare (especially among beneficiaries who likely desired more flexibility in accessing and receiving care) and illuminate potential disparities in switching that may reflect unequal abilities to compare and afford plans.

About The Study: In this cohort study, the use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) among patients with diabetes was associated with a 2-fold higher risk of incident neovascular age-related macular degeneration development than among similar patients with diabetes who did not receive a GLP-1 RA. Further research is needed to elucidate the exact pathophysiological mechanisms involved and to understand the trade-offs between the benefits and risks of GLP-1 RAs.

About The Study: Although phase 3 trials are often interpreted as demonstrating superiority, overall survival and quality of life (QOL), which may be the most relevant end points to patients, are uncommonly improved. To increase the meaningfulness of late-phase research, future trial designs and regulatory processes should be refocused toward overall survival and QOL improvements.

About The Study: In this cohort study of 3.26 million individuals in the U.S., results highlighted the dual burden of incarceration on health outcomes. Individuals who were incarcerated faced significantly higher risks of death, particularly from overdoses, and elevated county incarceration rates exacerbated individual-level mortality risks. These findings suggest the need for reforms in criminal justice and public health policies to address these elevated risks and their widespread implications.

About The Study: This county-level dataset complements the state and national-level Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data, confirming a widespread decline in measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccination rates in the U.S. after the COVID-19 pandemic while revealing significant heterogeneity in vaccination patterns within and across states. This dataset can be used in spatial and statistical analyses to identify factors associated with low or declining MMR rates in U.S. counties and help inform targeted vaccination strategies to reduce the risk of measles outbreaks.

About The Study: Between 2021 and 2023, prevalence of current cannabis use increased among adults age 65 or older nationally, with key demographic subgroups experiencing marked increases. Adults with the highest incomes initially had the lowest prevalence of cannabis use vs other income levels, but by 2023, they had the highest prevalence, which may indicate better access to medical cannabis given its costs.

About The Study: This study demonstrates that the artificial sweetener neotame was a ubiquitous constituent of popular disposable e-cigarettes sold in the U.S. in 2024, including those containing no nicotine or the nicotine analogue 6-methylnicotine. Neotame is 7,000 to 13,000 times sweeter than table sugar and is 35 to 65 times sweeter than aspartame.

About JAMA Network Open: JAMA Network Open is an online-only open access general medical journal from the JAMA Network. On weekdays, the journal publishes peer-reviewed clinical research and commentary in more than 40 medical and health subject areas. Every article is free online from the day of publication.
About The Study: In this cohort study of middle-aged and older adults across 4 countries, both higher maternal and paternal education were generally associated with slower cognitive decline, and these associations were mediated by participants’ own education. These findings highlight the long-term relevance of parental education for offspring cognitive health across diverse cultural or socioeconomic contexts, and support the potential benefits of improving educational attainment to reduce intergenerational disparities in late-life cognitive health.

On weekdays, the journal publishes peer-reviewed clinical research and commentary in more than 40 medical and health subject areas. Every article is free online from the day of publication.
About The Study: In this national survey of internal medicine physicians, experiencing sacred moments —meaningful, memorable, and sometimes spiritual moments of connection— is common; discussing them with colleagues is not. These findings suggest that frequently experiencing sacred moments and discussing them with colleagues could bolster physician well-being.
