TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a framework for three categories of increasingly complex climate change risk that focus on interactions among the multiple drivers of risk, as well as among multiple risks.
Abstract: Real-world experience underscores the complexity of interactions among multiple drivers of climate change risk and of how multiple risks compound or cascade. However, a holistic framework for assessing such complex climate change risks has not yet been achieved. Clarity is needed regarding the interactions that generate risk, including the role of adaptation and mitigation responses. In this perspective, we present a framework for three categories of increasingly complex climate change risk that focus on interactions among the multiple drivers of risk, as well as among multiple risks. A significant innovation is recognizing that risks can arise both from potential impacts due to climate change and from responses to climate change. This approach encourages thinking that traverses sectoral and regional boundaries and links physical and socio-economic drivers of risk. Advancing climate change risk assessment in these ways is essential for more informed decision making that reduces negative climate change impacts. © 2021 The Authors

TL;DR: This article examined the impact of early adolescent drug use on subsequent dropping out of high school in a sample of 4,390 adolescents from California and Oregon in 1985 and 1990 when they should have completed 12th grade.
Abstract: This study examines the impact of early adolescent drug use on subsequent dropping out of high school in a sample of 4,390 adolescents from California and Oregon. Participants were initially surveyed in 7th grade in 1985 and again in 1990 when they should have completed 12th grade. Logistic regression analyses show that frequency of cigarette use during 7th grade predicts dropping out of high school, controlling for demographics, family structure, academic orientation, early deviance, and school environment. Separate analyses by race/ethnicity replicate this finding for Asians, Blacks, and whites, but not for Latinos. For Latinos, early marijuana use predicts dropping out. The results suggest that preventing or reducing the incidence of early smoking and marijuana use may help reduce the probability of dropping out of high school.

TL;DR: Instruments examined include the Quality of Well-Being Scale, the HIV Overview of Problems/Evaluation System, the COOP Charts, and six Medical Outcomes Study-based measures: the SF-20, SF-30, AIDS-HAQ,SF-36,sf-38 and SF-56.
Abstract: This paper provides a selective review of instruments currently being employed to evaluate generic health-related quality of life in studies of persons with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Instruments examined include the Quality of Well-Being Scale, the HIV Overview of Problems/Evaluation System, the COOP Charts, and six Medical Outcomes Study-based measures: the SF-20, SF-30, AIDS-HAQ, SF-36, SF-38 and SF-56. Relative strengths and weaknesses of the measures are discussed.

TL;DR: SPCPs across the US have an active role in cancer patient management and determining the optimal interface between PCPs and oncologists in delivering and coordinating cancer care is an important area for future research.
Abstract: BACKGROUND
The demand for oncology services in the United States (US) is increasing, whereas a shortage of oncologists looms. There is the need for a better understanding of the involvement of primary care physicians (PCPs) in cancer care.
