The BAUM Initiative launched in 2016 and includes 27 partner cities across the Bay Area

ABAG-MTC provides support for achieving PDA visions through the PDA Planning Grant and Technical Assistance Program, Place making Initiative, One Bay Area Grant , East Bay Corridors Initiative, Resilience Program, and Entitlement Efficiency working group. PCAs are open spaces identified as lands in need of protection from urban development and other uses. Such spaces provide agricultural, […]

Diseases affecting the control of movement have analog patterns in cognitive disorders

Outcomes of such practices and variations between trauma registries leads to a lack of confidence regarding data accuracy and resulting analyses. Motor impairment and/or execution of complex behavioral sequences often accompany psychotic symptoms, as in the case of obsessive-compulsive disorders. Such an occurrence likely reflects the anatomical overlapping of brain areas serving both motor and […]

The remaining three studies each operationalized TBI severity utilizing different methods

Study methods employed by each of the eight included studies varied with some studies utilizing medical chart reviews, while others utilized validated surveys and questionnaires to gather their data. The studies by Andelic et al., Barker et al., and Bombardier et al. all utilized the participants’ medical charts for retrospective review for presence of substances. The studies by […]

Future studies should be conducted to better understand this finding

There is a need to understand the nature of social support that is associated with an increased risk of arrest in order to interrupt this cycle, either by encouraging social networks with positive outcomes or by disrupting cycles of arrests. In this study, Black race was not associated with incarceration, although it is well established […]

This is an issue that clearly requires careful consideration in future analyses

The overall case-control effect size that we observed, 0.62, was somewhat lower than that reported in meta-analyses . Since the patient sample was older than the control sample and age significantly affected P300, the patient control difference was attenuated somewhat by inclusion of age as a covariate. The effect size was almost certainly also lowered by […]

Community-level prevalence of adult marijuana may simply be a proxy of community norms

Density of medical marijuana dispensaries and delivery services per city, however, was negatively and strongly associated with greater availability of these products at places where tobacco products are typically sold. The current study examined social factors associated with availability of tobacco products for blunts. Other studies have shown that the tobacco industry aggressively markets specific […]

Mixed effects linear regressions with subject-specific random intercepts and slopes were used

SWM task accuracy and reaction time were calculated for SWM and simple attention conditions. Group differences in neuropsychological test scores and SWM task performance were examined with one-way ANOVAs. We followed up significant ANOVAs with Tukey’s all pairwise t-tests between the three groups. Imaging data were processed and analyzed using the Analysis of Functional NeuroImages package […]

Difficult to determine the degree of clinical relevance and impact in adolescent treatment response

These areas are particularly important for adolescents’ processing of social information . The greater activation of these regions during the neurodevelopmental period of adolescence may be the result of substantive neurodevelopmental changes . These changes peak during adolescence, resulting in a relatively greater release of DA during this time frame . Practically, this means that risk […]

The adjusted ORs represent the odds of each category with all else in the model being equal

These medical diseases are frequently considered chronic medical conditions, and are included in either the validated Katz chronic disease comorbidity questionnaire 15 or the Hierarchical Condition Category system and obstructive sleep apnea, which is recognized as one of the most prevalent chronic respiratory disorders and therefore included in our analysis. Medical multi-morbidity is defined in […]

Research encompassing broader definitions of sexual risk behavior would be informative

Analyses proceeded in three stages. First, at baseline and 3, 6, and 12 months follow-up, the percent of participants at risk, and the identified preaction stage for those at risk, were determined for each HRB. Second, LCA was employed to discern the common patterns of HRBs at each time point. Third, LTA was used to […]
