Amid mushrooming net-zero commitments and pledges made by states and non-state entities, a gap remains between those pledges, and the action needed in order to stay within the temperature goals of the Paris Agreement. In response, scholars and policymakers have started to examine physical, technological, economic, and policy pathways to net‐zero emissions across different sectors. This article examines the existing legislation and litigation for a net-zero world in four jurisdictions: Germany, the United States, Brazil, and China. We propose a taxonomy for identifying and comparing existing legal mechanisms to reach net-zero across these jurisdictions. We identify and analyze different legislative and regulatory mechanisms that incorporate net-zero mandates and three net-zero litigation strategies in these countries. These jurisdictions provide a useful snapshot of the variety of legal mechanisms currently being used by, or imposed on, large emitting jurisdictions and entities. We then consider the critical ways in which climate law can contribute to, or hinder, emissions reductions in line with net-zero targets.

This retrospective study sought to identify patient-, provider-, and system-level characteristics associated with anxiety diagnostic specificity in mental health clinics in the Veterans Health Administration. It used administrative data extracted from Veteran Health Administration outpatient records to identify patients with a new anxiety or trauma-related diagnosis in fiscal year 2019 (N = 383,418). Logistic regression was used to model the probability of receiving an unspecified anxiety diagnosis as a function of patient-, provider-, and system-level characteristics. Unspecified anxiety disorder was diagnosed in 27% of the sample, with higher rates in primary care mental health integration clinics (42.6%) than in general mental health clinics (22.4%). Patient demographic and clinical characteristics including gender and comorbid diagnoses; provider type; provider use of an anxiety screening instrument; and facility size, complexity, and location were significant predictors of unspecified anxiety diagnosis. Anxiety diagnosis is a complex process influenced by multiple patient-, provider-, and system-level characteristics. Additional assessment tools and guidance for differential diagnosis are needed to support mental health providers in busy clinical settings to facilitate accurate and timely diagnosis of anxiety disorders.

Objective To identify the needs of caregivers of hospitalised adults with dementia in the hospital and during care transitions.Design Pragmatic qualitative inquiry with semi-structured interviews.Setting Michael E. DeBakey Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Houston, Texas, USA.Participants 12 family caregivers (family member (n=11); friend (n=1)) and 15 health professionals (hospital medicine physicians (n=4), inpatient nurse case managers (n=2), social workers (n=4), outpatient geriatrics providers (n=2), a primary care provider (n=1), geriatric psychiatrists (n=2)) were interviewed. Caregivers were recruited while their care recipient was hospitalised and were interviewed at least 2 weeks after the care recipient was discharged from the hospital. Health professionals were eligible for the study if they provided care to patients with dementia in the inpatient or outpatient setting.Results Four recommendations emerged from the analysis: (1) engage caregivers as partners in the care team, (2) provide dementia-specific information and training, (3) connect caregivers to home and community-based services and (4) provide care navigation and support for the caregiver posthospitalisation.Conclusions Hospital care transitions are challenging for caregivers of hospitalised adults living with dementia. Care transition interventions designed to support caregivers with tailored, dementia-specific information and services are needed.

Abstract Background: Low-income homebound older adults have limited access to psychosocial treatments because of their homebound state and geriatric mental health workforce shortages. Little is known about cost effectiveness of lay-counselor-delivered, videoconferenced, short-term behavioral activation on this study population. The objective of this study was to assess the cost-effectiveness of lay-counselor-delivered, videoconferenced, short-term behavioral activation (Tele-BA) compared to clinician-delivered, videoconferenced problem-solving therapy (Tele-PST) and telephone support calls (attention control; AC) for low-income homebound older adults. Methods: We performed a cost-effectiveness analysis based on data from a recently completed, 3-group (Tele-BA, Tele-PST, and AC) randomized controlled trial with 277 participants aged 50+. We measured total costs of (1) intervention and (2) outpatient care, ED visits, and inpatient care using the Cornell Services Index. The effectiveness outcome was quality-adjusted life-years (QALY). We used EuroQol’s EQ-5D-5L to assess each participant’s health-related quality of life (HRQoL) at baseline and at 12, 24, and 36 weeks. The end-point measure of cost-effectiveness was the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of (1) Tele-BA versus AC, (2) Tele-PST versus AC, and (3) Tele-BA versus Tele-PST. Results: Relative to AC, both Tele-BA and Tele-PST are cost-saving treatment options. The ICERs for both Tele-BA and Tele-PST were well below $50,000, the lower-bound threshold for cost-effectiveness. Relative to AC, both Tele-PST, Tele-BA are cost-saving treatment options (i.e. lower costs and more QALYs). Conclusion: Costs of tele- and lay-counselor-delivered depression treatment are modest and cost effective relative to providing telephone support. Though our results show that Tele-BA may not be cost effective relative to Tele-PST, a clinician-delivered psychotherapy, when a low bound ICER threshold of $50,000 would be used, lay counselors can fill the professional geriatric mental health workforce shortage gap and Tele-BA by lay counselors can improve homebound older adults’ access to evidence-and skills-based, cost effective depression care.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has had profound impacts on people with diabetes, a group with high morbidity and mortality. Factors like race, age, income, Veteran-status, and limited or interrupted resources early in the COVID-19 pandemic compounded risks for negative health outcomes. Our objective was to characterize the experiences and needs of under-resourced Veterans with type 2 diabetes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: We conducted semi-structured qualitative interviews (March through September 2021) with U.S. military Veterans with diabetes. Transcripts were analyzed using a team-based, iterative process of summarizing and coding to identify key themes. Participants included Veterans (n = 25) who were mostly men (84%), Black or African American (76%), older (mean age = 62.6), and low-income (

Introduction: Addressing U.S. health disparities in behavioral health care requires innovative solutions to expand access beyond the traditional specialty behavioral health (BH) service model. One evidence-based strategy to increase access is task shifting, whereby tasks usually reserved for licensed clinicians are delegated to less specialized but uniquely capable health workers. Health care systems in the United States have been slow to adopt this approach, despite the widespread success of task shifting in other countries. However, two large government health care systems have employed unique task-shifting models for decades, integrating nonclinician health workers into BH settings: the Defense Health Agency (behavioral health technicians) and the Veterans Health Administration (peer specialists). Method: This conceptual article provides overviews of these successful approaches. Challenges and opportunities, and the potential for other U.S. health care systems to adopt task shifting for behavioral health care with paraprofessionals such as community health workers (CHWs), are discussed. Results: CHWs and other paraprofessionals are ideally situated to increase access to behavioral health care, but barriers must be overcome. Recommendations are provided based on lessons from these federal system approaches to task shifting. Discussion: Expanding task-shifting paradigms as the Defense Health Agency and Veterans Health Administration have done may be vital to reaching more people who could benefit from BH intervention and prevention strategies. Public Significance Statement: This conceptual article discusses task shifting, an evidence-based strategy to increase access to behavioral health care, as implemented in two large U.S. government systems. Community health workers and other trained paraprofessionals are ideally situated to increase access to behavioral health care, but barriers must be overcome. Lessons learned and recommendations from these federal examples are provided to expand task shifting approaches in U.S. health care systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Our goal was to determine the prevalence of anxiety and depression in a sample of U.S. military veterans with type 2 diabetes and elevated diabetes distress (DD). Cross-sectional analyses were conducted. The association between DD and anxiety and depression was assessed with logistic regression. Almost 80% of persons with elevated DD had clinically significant anxiety or depression symptoms. The odds of depression and anxiety increased with DD severity. Given the large overlap of depression and anxiety with elevated DD, we recommend providers screen for all three conditions and, if positive, connect to resources for diabetes self-management and/or clinical treatment.

Abstract Introduction Hispanics/Latinos (H/Ls) are significantly underrepresented in Alzheimer's disease (AD) research participant samples. This exclusion limits our interpretation of research findings and understanding of the causes of brain health disparities. The Engaging Communities of Hispanics/Latinos for Aging Research (ECHAR) Network was created to engage, educate, and motivate H/Ls for participation in brain aging research by addressing several barriers to inclusion, including health literacy and AD‐related communication. Methods We used a novel community‐engaged method—Boot Camp Translation (BCT)—to translate medical jargon into action‐based, community‐relevant messages. H/L community members (n = 39) were recruited from three cities to work with local research teams and co‐develop culturally responsive AD‐related messaging. BCT meetings leveraged various techniques to identify key messages, the target audience for the messages, and methods to disseminate these messages. Themes were constructed collaboratively between BCT facilitators and community members as the group iteratively refined the conceptual framework and language for the main messages, with the goal to make AD messaging accessible for H/L community members. Results H/L community members showed significant improvements in subjective understanding (Cohen's d = 0.75; P

BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic has imposed additional stress on population health that may result in a change of sleeping behavior. ObjectiveIn this study, we hypothesized that using natural language processing to explore social media would help with assessing the mental health conditions of people experiencing insomnia after the outbreak of COVID-19. MethodsWe designed a retrospective study that used public social media content from Twitter. We categorized insomnia-related tweets based on time, using the following two intervals: the prepandemic (January 1, 2019, to January 1, 2020) and peripandemic (January 1, 2020, to January 1, 2021) intervals. We performed a sentiment analysis by using pretrained transformers in conjunction with Dempster-Shafer theory (DST) to classify the polarity of emotions as positive, negative, and neutral. We validated the proposed pipeline on 300 annotated tweets. Additionally, we performed a temporal analysis to examine the effect of time on Twitter users’ insomnia experiences, using logistic regression. ResultsWe extracted 305,321 tweets containing the word insomnia (prepandemic tweets: n=139,561; peripandemic tweets: n=165,760). The best combination of pretrained transformers (combined via DST) yielded 84% accuracy. By using this pipeline, we found that the odds of posting negative tweets (odds ratio [OR] 1.39, 95% CI 1.37-1.41; P

The role of lysine methyltransferases (KMTs) and demethylases (KDMs) in the regulation of chromatin modification is well-established. Recently, deleterious heterozygous variants in KMT5B were implicated in individuals with intellectual disability (ID) and/or autism spectrum disorder. We describe three unrelated patients with global developmental delay (GDD) or ID, macrocephaly and additional features. Using whole exome sequencing, each of the probands was found to harbor a distinct de novo heterozygous disease-causing variant in KMT5B: c.541C > G (p.His181Asp); c.833A > T (p.Asn278Ile); or c.391_394delAAAG (p.Lys131GlufsTer6). We discuss herein their clinical presentations, and compare them to those of previously reported patients. Furthermore, using a three-dimensional computational model of the KMT5B protein, we demonstrate the predicted structural effects of the two missense variants. Our findings support the role of de novo missense and nonsense variants in KMT5B-associated GDD/ID, and suggest that this gene should be considered in the differential diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders accompanied by macrocephaly and/or overgrowth.

Evidence-based psychotherapies (EBPs) are underused in health care settings. Aligning implementation of EBPs with the needs of health care leaders (i.e., operational stakeholders) can potentially accelerate their uptake into routine practice. Operational stakeholders (such as hospital leaders, clinical directors, and national program officers) can influence development and oversight of clinical programs as well as policy directives at local, regional, and national levels. Thus, engaging these stakeholders during the implementation and dissemination of EBPs is critical when targeting wider use in health care settings. This article describes how research–operations partnerships were leveraged to increase implementation of an empirically supported psychotherapy – brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (brief CBT) – in Veterans Health Administration (VA) primary care settings. The partnered implementation and dissemination efforts were informed by the empirically derived World Health Organization’s ExpandNet framework. A steering committee was formed and included several VA operational stakeholders who helped align the brief CBT program with the implementation needs of VA primary care settings. During the first 18 months of the project, partnerships facilitated rapid implementation of brief CBT at eight VA facilities, including training of 12 providers who saw 120 patients, in addition to expanded program elements to better support sustainability (e.g., train-the-trainer procedures).

Abstract Scutellaria is a genus of plants containing multiple species with well‐documented medicinal effects. S. baicalensis and S. barbata are among the best‐studied Scutellaria species, and previous works have established flavones to be the primary source of their bioactivity. Recent genomic and biochemical studies with S. baicalensis and S. barbata have advanced our understanding of flavone biosynthesis in Scutellaria. However, as over several hundreds of Scutellaria species occur throughout the world, flavone biosynthesis in most species remains poorly understood. In this study, we analyzed organ‐specific flavone profiles of seven Scutellaria species, including S. baicalensis, S. barbata, and two species native to the Americas (S. wrightii to Texas and S. racemosa to Central and South America). We found that the roots of almost all these species produce only 4′‐deoxyflavones, while 4′‐hydroxyflavones are accumulated exclusively in their aerial parts. On the other hand, S. racemosa and S. wrightii also accumulated high levels of 4′‐deoxyflavones in their aerial parts, different with the flavone profiles of S. baicalensis and S. barbata. Furthermore, our metabolomics and NMR study identified the accumulation of isoscutellarein 8‐O‐β‐glucuronopyranoside, a rare 4′‐hydroxyflavone, in the stems and leaves of several Scutellaria species including S. baicalensis and S. barbata, but not in S. racemosa and S. wrightii. Distinctive organ‐specific metabolite profiles among Scutellaria species indicate the selectivity and diverse physiological roles of flavones.

Robust carbon monitoring systems are needed for land managers to assess and mitigate the changing effects of ecosystem stress on western United States forests, where most aboveground carbon is stored in mountainous areas. Atmospheric carbon uptake via gross primary productivity (GPP) is an important indicator of ecosystem function and is particularly relevant to carbon monitoring systems. However, limited ground-based observations in remote areas with complex topography represent a significant challenge for tracking regional-scale GPP. Satellite observations can help bridge these monitoring gaps, but the accuracy of remote sensing methods for inferring GPP is still limited in montane evergreen needleleaf biomes, where (a) photosynthetic activity is largely decoupled from canopy structure and chlorophyll content, and (b) strong heterogeneity in phenology and atmospheric conditions is difficult to resolve in space and time. Using monthly solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) sampled at ∼4 km from the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI), we show that high-resolution satellite-observed SIF followed ecological expectations of seasonal and elevational patterns of GPP across a 3000 m elevation gradient in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California. After accounting for the effects of high reflected radiance in TROPOMI SIF due to snow cover, the seasonal and elevational patterns of SIF were well correlated with GPP estimates from a machine-learning model (FLUXCOM) and a land surface model (CLM5.0-SP), outperforming other spectral vegetation indices. Differences in the seasonality of TROPOMI SIF and GPP estimates were likely attributed to misrepresentation of moisture limitation and winter photosynthetic activity in FLUXCOM and CLM5.0 respectively, as indicated by discrepancies with GPP derived from eddy covariance observations in the southern Sierra Nevada. These results suggest that satellite-observed SIF can serve as a useful diagnostic and constraint to improve upon estimates of GPP toward multiscale carbon monitoring systems in montane, evergreen conifer biomes at regional scales.
