TL;DR: There are substantial differences in drinking trajectories at the individual level in midlife and late life, and a problem-drinking history is predictive of alcohol consumption patterns in later life.

TL;DR: Individuals' beliefs about control over life events and longevity influenced health investment and subjective health outcomes, although these beliefs did not translate into differences in HbA1c levels.

TL;DR: Frequent heavy episodic drinking at ages 17-25 years was associated with higher rates of alcohol dependence and abuse at a 10-year follow-up and alcohol consumption 25 years following baseline but not with other study outcomes at midlife.

TL;DR: If successful, Epic Allies will represent a novel adherence intervention for a group disproportionately impacted by HIV in the United States, andherent patients would require less frequent clinic visits and experience fewer HIV-related secondary infections, thereby reducing health care costs and HIV transmission.

TL;DR: An efficacy decay framework is described to understand why high malaria burden persists even under high ITN coverage in a community in western Kenya and why Behavior change interventions to improve compliance and environmental management of mosquito breeding habitats may greatly enhance ITN efficacy.
