IJERPH, Vol. 21, Pages 421: Attention toward Social and Non-Social Stimuli in Preschool Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Paired Preference Eye-Tracking Study
Fadda Different dimensions of visual attention to social (human faces) and non-social stimuli (objects) were assessed in 19 preschool children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and 19 typically developing (TD) age, gender, and IQ-matched controls through an original paired preference eye-tracking paradigm.

IJERPH, Vol. 21, Pages 423: Non-Pharmacological Interventions for Type 2 Diabetes in People Living with Severe Mental Illness: Results of a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusions: This systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrated that NPI significantly (p < 0.05) reduced psychiatric symptoms, levels of total cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol in people with type 2 diabetes and SMI. While non-pharmacological interventions also reduced HbA1c, triglyceride, and BMI levels and improved quality of life in these people, the effects were not significant (p > 0.05).

IJERPH, Vol. 21, Pages 419: Examining Teacher Concerns and Anxiety on the Implementation of a Universal Body Image Program
l Perez In the past 30 years, there have been numerous positive body image and eating disorder prevention programs targeting youth developed for school-based settings.

However, little is known about teacher concerns and barriers that may hinder successful uptake and implementation. The current study recruited a total of 269 teachers who consented to implement a universal body image and appearance-related bullying and teasing prevention program in their classrooms as part of a ra...
