"Eleanor Williams case has made abuse victims reluctant to report, says charity"
This is frustrating but completely predictable.
❤️ We think it is important to be very vocal right now about supporting -- and believing -- those who have been assaulted.
⭐ The reality is that false claims are far smaller than those who never file a complaint out of fear they won't be believed.

📚 Child Deaths by Gun Violence in the US During the COVID-19 Pandemic
For children, the increase in indirect deaths associated with COVID-19 might have been greater than deaths from COVID-19. One such indirect impact is gun violence.
"One potential indirect health outcome for children is gun-related deaths owing to increased psychological strain in families in combination with school closures, which lead to greater time spent by children at home, where guns are often kept. Although studies have documented increased gun-related deaths during the pandemic, only few studies have considered children and those focused on early stages of the pandemic."

‘#Prevention’ in mental health has become a buzz word in recent years. But, judging by the actions that follow the buzz, very few people and organisations actually understand what this means in practice.
Here is my guide on how to define prevention in #mentalhealth by bringing in a #publichealth understanding.

"Take all of the risk factors that we as individuals, or nations through their policies, might improve, and potentially 40% of cases could be prevented or delayed. We would not eradicate dementia, and many people who did everything to keep their brains healthy would still succumb to the disease. We could, however, dramatically reduce the risk, meaning more years of sound thinking, intact memories and independent living."
This frustrating story has echoes of the Trump Administration's disastrous efforts wrt research funding for abuse prevention.
The misplaced focus on "Stranger Danger" here is just one of the problems.
And, while understandable, it's also frustrating to see NPR dedicate so much space to this purported "documentary" while valid prevention efforts receive no coverage.

📚 Interparental Coercive Control and Child and Family Outcomes: A Systematic Review.
The ongoing dangers of coercive control:
“CC [coercive control] was associated with increased parental psychopathology, poorer family functioning, harsher parenting and higher levels of child abuse, strained parent-child relationships, children used as tools and co-victims of CC, increased risk of child internalizing and externalizing problems, limited socializing opportunities, increased bullying, poorer perinatal outcomes, limited access to healthcare, and increased risk of child mortality. Evidence identified CC as a unique contributor to adverse child wellbeing outcomes, independent of exposure to IPV more broadly.”

A new report finds that kids prefer movies that treat character strengths as aspirational. (Would ❤️ to see a similar study for video games.)
▪️ Strong character strength movies tend to make more $ opening weekend.
▪️ Perseverance, courage, teamwork featured most often.
▪️ Gratitude, humility, integrity featured least often.
▪️ Movies for ages 13-18 had fewer character strengths than movies for under 13.
🧐 “There is a clear gap in the industry for content directed at teens that promotes positive character strengths. . . to help youth so they can better navigate the key challenges and changes they are experiencing.”

What is Critical Thinking?
📚 "Critical thinking is a kind of thinking in which you question, analyse, interpret, evaluate and make a judgement about what you read, hear, say, or write.
"To become a better critical thinker, you therefore need to learn how to:
[1] Clarify your thinking purpose and context;
[2] Question your sources of information;
[3] Identify arguments;
[4] Analyse sources and arguments;
[5] Evaluate the arguments of others; and
[6] Create or Synthesise your own arguments."

Many Americans wrongly assume they understand what normal blood pressure is – and that false confidence can be deadly—Nearly half of Americans ages 20 years and up – or more than 122 million people – have high blood pressure. And even if your numbers are normal right now, they are likely to increase as you age; more than three-quarters of Americans age 65 and older have high blood pressure.

▪️Focusing on one harm seems reasonable even if other harms are not addressed.
▪️Narratives are effective for communicating about public health: "A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic."
▪️In the U.S. there are ~120 firearms for every 100 citizens.
▪️As compared to guns, cars are rarely used for murder.
▪️Increasing awareness helps to promote public discourse which then helps shape public policy.

What is missing in this discussion is #prevention is greater than cure? Don't make a people sick, obese, inflamed, and #addicted.
Unfortunately, the #immigration system into so-called developed nations is intensely #exploitative. Most would not choose to leave their child (for many years if not decades) to be placed into #servitude.
Also many conflicts are cynically engineered to produce #displacement, #derascination and #refugees.
Scientists in British Columbia discovered that a sea sponge can help block covid infections in humans.
"Researchers have identified three compounds that prevent COVID-19 infection in human cells, derived from natural sources including a sea sponge.

Let me talk about a paper that was just accepted in the Journal of the European Economics Association.
This paper studies the cuts to #HousingBenefit, specifically, the cut to #LocalHousingAllowance.
In that paper we show that the cut drastically increased #evictions, it ripped communities apart, and came at a huge cost to councils.
We estimate that for every GBP 1 pound the central govt saved in #HousingBenefit, council #homelessness #prevention increased easily by 53 pence.
The recent school shooting in which a 1st grader shot their teacher raises many questions. Potential factors:
▪️ effect of media violence on kids (those younger than 8 can find it more difficult to distinguish between reality and fantasy)
▪️ easy access to unsecured guns (4.6M U.S. kids live in homes with loaded unsecured guns)

If people would like to learn more about consent, our nonprofit's games are free and contain no ads.
They are appropriate for a variety of ages and designed to teach consent from an early age.
Parents can use these games if they want to talk with their kids about consent but don't know how. Educators can use them in the classroom.
"In the toolbox for fighting crime and violence [...] let us recognise the power tool that play can be in the toolbox. A tool that is simple in its approach, cost- effective in its implementation, and could be quite evident in its returns."

Interesting. It brought to mind how good public health efforts go unrecognized because nothing happens. So the public health budget is cut — nothing happened — and then all hell breaks loose.
Fire departments spend a lot of effort doing inspections and preventing fires, but they are in the news only when fires occur.
Preventing catastrophe doesn't catch the eye.

Hello world,
A quick #introduction. I live in Seattle WA and enjoy #photography and #watercolor #painting (I'm still pretty new at the watercolors...)
I am also a semi-retired #cancer #epidemiologist at the Fred Hutch Cancer Center and U. Washington. and run a website describing opportunities for #prevention of #esophageal #cancer:

I love learning new things and look forward to connecting with people along these lines. Thanks for reading!
