IJERPH, Vol. 16, Pages 177: Non-Medical Use of Novel Synthetic Opioids: A New Challenge to Public Health
Conclusions: The severity of the opioid crisis has intensified with the introduction of highly potent NSOs on the drug market. As long as addicts are dying from overdose or similar causes, there is something more constructive to do than waiting for addicts to overdose on heroin at a place located near a remedy, as if to say, within reach of naloxone.

IJERPH, Vol. 16, Pages 2735: The Global Prevalence of Anxiety Among Medical Students: A Meta-Analysis
ng Ho Ho : Anxiety, although as common and arguably as debilitating as depression, has garnered less attention, and is often undetected and undertreated in the general population. Similarly, anxiety among medical students warrants greater attention due to its significant implications. We aimed to study the global prevalence of anxiety among medical students and the associated factors predisposing medical students to anxiety. In February 2019, we carried out a systematic search for cross-sectional studies that examined the prevalence of anxiety among medical students. We computed the aggregate prevalence and poole...

IJERPH, Vol. 17, Pages 8998: Self-Declared Roma Ethnicity and Health Insurance Expenditures: A Nationwide Cross-Sectional Investigation at the General Medical Practice Level in Hungary
Conclusion: As was expected, lower education, employment, and small practice size were associated with lower NHIF expenditures in Hungary, while the share of self-reported Roma did not significantly affect health expenditures according to our GMP level study. These findings do not suggest the necessity for Roma specific indicators elaborating health policy to control for the risk of widening inequalities imposed by rising health expenses.

IJERPH, Vol. 18, Pages 5891: Effects of an Adaptive Education Program on the Learning, Mental Health and Work Intentions of New Graduate Nurses
ng Wang Health care workers are at a higher risk of psychological distress than ordinary people. Stress affects physical and mental health, and can even produce an intention to leave. The current training for new graduate nurses (NGNs) during this transitional period mostly focuses on the cultivation of professional ability, with less attention to mental health or emotional feelings, and thus there are insufficient structured support strategies. As such, this study explores the effects of intervention through an appropriate education program on the learning, mental health and work intentions of new recruits during the ...
