TL;DR: Overall, a greater level of acculturation was associated with greater alcohol use, but when parental attachment was taken into account, highly acculturated adolescents with moderate or high parental attachment had no greater risk than adolescents with same levels of parental attachment who were less accULTurated.

TL;DR: In this paper, a 15-month prospective study, the following variables demonstrated an association with residential stability in a countywide probability sample of 397 homeless adults: female gender, a history of less than 1-year homelessness, absence of a health problem that limited work ability, entitlement-benefit income, and use of subsidized housing.

TL;DR: The contraceptive features women want are largely absent from currently available methods, and developing and promoting methods that are more aligned with women's preferences presumably could help increase satisfaction and thereby encourage consistent and effective use.

TL;DR: Findings demonstrate that binge drinking is not attributable to acculturation per se, but that social interaction is an important pathway by which highly acculturated adolescents become vulnerable to binge drinking.

TL;DR: Cross-sectional evidence is found that certain phthalates are associated with increased odds of ADD and both ADD and LD and in girls than boys in some models.
