Here ’s How The Experience Of Regret Develops Through Childhood
In this study, children collected stickers to win a prize, and could also give their stickers to other children. When the younger children discovered that they had kept a sticker that they didn’t ultimately need but which, if they had given it to another child, would have allowed that child to win a prize, they didn’t seem to experience any regret. However, the 7- to 9-year-olds did. The team also found that the children who experienced this type of regret were more likely to act pro-socially on a subsequent task. As the team writes, “This latter finding suggested that interpersonal regret can result in children acti...

Inquiry into the support available for young people who self-harm
All-Party Parliamentary Group on Suicide and Self-Harm Prevention -This inquiry explored the experiences of young people who self-harm in accessing support services. In particular, it examined: support services currently available in both clinical and the wider community settings (including schools); plans for improving and expanding this support; and the changes needed to ensure that support is made more effective and widely available. It concludes that young people who self-harm are often made to wait until they reach crisis point before receiving support.ReportSamaritans - press release (Source: Health Management Specialist Library)

Working parents are key members of the United States workforce
It is likely that schools will be struggling to keep up with this ever-evolving pandemic and fluctuating positivity rates for many months to come. From July to September, there were over 9,000 cases of COVID-19 reported in over 2,000 schools in the U.S. What is becoming very clear is that protocols may need to change […]Find jobs at Careers by KevinMD.com.

Post #52 Overkill: When Modern Medicine Goes Too Far by Paul Offit M.D.
Overkill: When Modern Medicine Goes Too Far by Paul Offit M.D.I am admittedly a huge fanboy of Paul Offit, an infectious disease guru at Children ' s Hospital of Philadelphia, one of the preeminent pediatric hospitals in the world. His latest bookOverall: When Modern Medicine Goes Too Far, is a collection of medical facts that are already known to the well-read individual, but fly in the face of wrongly-held, out-dated, commonly-believed medical concepts. The majority of the incorrect information was previously considered the standard of care, but newer and better science and studies have clearly demonstrate...

Is Disaster Aid Political?
E. Frank Stephenson andPeter Van DorenIn the summer issue ofRegulation, Steve Horwitz and E. Frank Stephenson published anarticle summarizing research on the long history of political considerations in the allocation of disaster relief. Several papers document New Deal era aid being steered to swing states; a similar pattern has been found more recently for presidential disaster declarations.Two recent articles suggest the mixing of politics and disaster aid by the Trump administration.

Remove Barriers that Prevent Nurses from Addressing Public and Private Health Crises
Michael F. CannonNurses have been on the front line of the COVID-19 pandemic as they have been for every public health crisis from the Spanish influenza to the AIDS epidemic. Yet state governments have made it harder for nurses to help victims of this and other diseases.In 2004, California enacted a law that restricts the ability of hospitals to assign nurses to where patients need them, which increases the cost of care. In that year, California became the first state to mandate inpatient facilities adhere to predeterminednurse ‐to‐patient ratios. The law restricts the number of patients each nurse can ...

Both Libs and Cons Have Driven Us to Trump ’s “Patriotic Education”
Neal McCluskeyWhen President Donald Trump announcedthat he would sign an executive order creating a commission to promote “patriotic education,” there was much outrage, including “Hitler Youth” and “Trump Youth”trending onTwitter. We do not know exactly what the promised executive order will contain, but worries about the federal government putting unacceptable things into children ’s minds are utterly understandable. And this is not just a conservative or liberal problem: both sides are to blame for the real and present danger of federally approved thought.Both liberals and conservatives have for d...

Healthcare Can Learn From Chess
By KIM BELLARD
Oh, gosh, two of my favorite things are in the news together: Twitch and chess.
Just kidding. I barely know what Twitch is, and the last time I played chess was, well, not in this century (and, even then, not well). But I’m not kidding about their convergence. Chess has become a big hit on Twitch, especially in these COVID times.
I figure, if two such seemingly divergent things are meshing, there must be some lessons there, even for healthcare.
For those of you over, say, fifty, Twitch is an online service that facilitates livestreaming, particularly of g...

Schools Need to Be Planning for the Next 9 Months, Not the Next 9 Weeks
Schools cannot simply wait out this pandemic, nor will short-term planning and ad hoc infrastructure get them successfully through this academic year. If schools are to minimize educational losses, large scale investments should be made now. (Source: The RAND Blog)

Covid Saliva Testing - Cheaper is Better
Saliva testing for Covid-19 may just be better than nasal swabs and cheaper too. It's preliminary, but Yale University has published a letter inThe New England Journal of Medicinethat showed saliva testing from the mouth picked up more positive Covid-19 patients than nasopharyngeal swab testing. The patients they studied were already hospitalized and had tested positive for Covid-19. They re-tested them with nasal and saliva tests and found at 1 to 5 days after diagnosis 81% of saliva samples were positive compared to 71% of the nasal swabs. And at 6-10 days after diagnosis, 76% of the saliva sampl...

by Elizabeth Mitchell Armstrong, PhD, MPA, and Joanna Kempner, PhD
Charles L. Bosk was an influential sociologist whose work on medical education, medical errors and patient safety, the medical profession, bioethics and the ethics of social science research, and social problems was foundational within the field of medical sociology and resonated within clinical medicine, health policy and bioethics. His sociological imagination was dazzling. His contributions span fine-grained, closely observed ethnography and richly reasoned, elegantly argued theory. His wide-ranging influence in sociol...
