About The Study: Contrary to prevailing assumptions, the findings of this study suggest that children’s depression over time may have contributed to worsening maternal depression, rather than the other way around. While these results should be replicated in non-pandemic contexts to confirm their generalizability, they highlight the need for family-centered approaches to mental health care.

About The Study: In this cross-sectional study, public awareness about human papillomavirus (HPV), HPV vaccination, and the link between HPV and cancers was overwhelmingly low, particularly in Midwestern and Southern U.S. states. These findings are troubling because these regions have recently seen a marked rise in HPV-associated cancers. Notably, the lack of HPV and HPV vaccine awareness in the Midwest and South is alarming, as a majority of states in these regions have suboptimal HPV vaccination rates.

About The Study: The findings of this study suggest that semaglutide was not associated with an increased risk of eye disorders or diabetic retinopathy. Despite the fact that an association between semaglutide treatment and nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) was found, current evidence remains insufficient to establish definitive conclusions regarding its association with NAION. Further studies with larger sample sizes and adequate evaluation of NAION are warranted to clarify this potential risk.

About The Study: In this study, a considerable proportion of patients with high-grade serous cancer missed opportunities for risk assessment with genetic testing and for surgical prevention. Given the lack of effective screening and limited treatment options for high-grade serous cancer, eradicating it requires addressing the full spectrum of missed opportunities.

About The Study: In this prospective cohort study of adults with SARS-CoV-2 infection, participants with current self-reported long COVID (defined as developing new, persistent symptoms lasting 3 months or longer after SARS-CoV-2 infection) reported worse work impairment, missed work, and financial distress compared with those who never had long COVID, while vaccination was associated with improved work outcomes and less financial distress even among individuals with long COVID. These data underscore the need for post-pandemic assistance programs, as well as vaccination to decrease societal harms.

About The Study: In this cohort study of individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D), glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) use was associated with a modestly increased risk of incident diabetic retinopathy (DR); however, fewer patients experienced sight-threatening DR complications, including blindness, even among those with preexisting DR. These findings suggest that all patients with T2D treated with GLP-1 RAs, regardless of preexisting DR, should be regularly screened and monitored for potential complications of T2D.

Its distribution will be solely digital and all content will be freely available for anyone to read.

 

About The Study: In this cross-sectional study of 143 health conditions among persons in 50 states and Washington, DC, per capita pharmaceutical use was highest among white populations and lowest among Asian or Pacific Islander and Hispanic populations. However, after standardizing for age and disease prevalence (for 52 conditions with available data), prescription fills were substantially lower for Black populations relative to the all-population mean. These patterns varied by state, highlighting the need for local- and condition-specific approaches to advancing pharmacoequity in the U.S.

About The Study: Stratified analyses in this study revealed that prediabetes was significantly associated with mortality only among younger adults (ages 20-54), highlighting the importance of age-specific interventions. Lifestyle behaviors, limited health care access, and life stage challenges may contribute to the increased mortality risk in younger adults. Early-onset health problems in this group may also reflect stronger genetic predispositions, leading to more rapid disease progression and more severe health outcomes. These findings underscore the need for tailored diabetes prevention programs targeting young adults—such as flexible, virtual, and peer-led options—to increase accessibility and engagement. Routine screening and timely referrals to age-appropriate programs are essential.

About The Study: In this modeling study, economic favorability of COVID-19 vaccination varied by age. Cost-effectiveness results for individuals in the 2 older age groups were favorable and generally robust to changes in parameter inputs, while results for the younger age group were sensitive to parameter input changes. As the evidence base for COVID-19 vaccination and burden of illness evolves, it may be important to continue to update and revise the economic evaluation of vaccination. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices considered these results in its decision to recommend vaccination with the 2023 to 2024 COVID-19 mRNA vaccines.

JAMA and JAMA Network Open

EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE: 11:00 A.M. ET, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 6, 2025

Media advisory: The full studies and editorial are linked to this news release.

 

About The Studies: JAMA and JAMA Network Open are publishing studies examining the health impact of wildfires in Los Angeles County in January 2025 and in Maui in August 2023. Among the findings:

 

JAMA

Excess Deaths Attributable to the Los Angeles Wildfires

While there were only 30 direct fatalities from the Los Angeles wildfires, this study estimates that 440 deaths from January 5 to February 1, 2025, were attributable to the wildfires. These additional deaths likely reflect a combination of factors, including increased exposure to poor air quality and health care delays and interruptions.

Increases in Suicides and Overdoses During the 2023 Wildfires in Maui

The results of this study show that the 2023 Maui wildfires had immediate effects on suicide and overdose deaths in Maui and across the Hawaiian Islands broadly. The latter finding suggests that direct exposure to the wildfires may have increased risk of suicide and overdose death among Maui residents who migrated to neighboring islands during or after the fires.

Health and Social Support in the Aftermath of the Maui Wildfires

In this cohort study of adults affected by the Maui wildfires, substantial midterm cardiopulmonary and psychological health burdens were observed. Higher social support was associated with improved mental health outcomes but did not appear to buffer physiological outcomes such as reduced lung function. These findings highlight the need for disaster response models that integrate clinical surveillance, targeted mental health interventions, and culturally anchored community-based support. As climate-driven disasters intensify, proactive strategies to monitor and mitigate their long-term health effects will be essential to protect vulnerable populations and enhance resilience.
