Working With People With Experience of Psychosis to Co‐Design an Educational and Anti‐Stigma Psychosis Intervention for Schools
Introduction Psychosis is a particularly stigmatised condition in adolescent populations, with prevalent stigmatising beliefs surrounding it including negative stereotypes around dangerousness, unpredictability and chronicity. Additionally, the first episodes of psychosis increase significantly during late adolescence, and there is a lack of understanding and recognition of psychosis in young people. Given these factors, psychosis appears to be an important topic for mental health literacy and anti‐stigma programmes. However, there is a lack of consensus surrounding the best way to construct psychosis anti‐stigma interventions for young people. Voices of people with experience of psychosis seem crucial in this regard, but their experiences of stigma and discrimination are rarely heard. By including their perspectives along with those of other stakeholders, we aim to ensure that we gain a better, more balanced perspective on how to talk about psychosis with young people. Methods This study reports on the co‐design process of a psychosis anti‐stigma educational intervention for young people using the short‐form Guidance for Reporting Involvement of Patients and the Public (GRIPP‐2) checklist as a guiding framework. Six workshops were held over 3 months, with experts with experience of psychosis working with clinicians and academics. These workshops explored the differing views of these groups on how we understand, talk about and perceive psychosis. Results This process resulted in an educational module named ‘Reality and Psychosis’, which we believe will prove effective in not only educating but also diminishing stigma surrounding psychosis among young people. Conclusion By incorporating various perspectives, we hope to provide a well‐rounded and balanced approach to addressing the complexities of discussing psychosis with young people. The GRIPP‐2 checklist also proved to be a useful framework for assisting the reporting process. Patient or Public Contribution Individuals with lived experience of psychosis participated throughout the co‐design process. Specifically, they contributed to the six workshops by sharing their personal experiences of stigma, discrimination and recovery, which informed the development of the educational module. This helped ensure the voices of those directly affected by psychosis were authentically represented.

Addressing Domestic Violence through Circle Peacemaking in Kake, Alaska: Reflections on Building Tribal-Researcher Capacity
We begin by acknowledging the impact of historical trauma on the community, as this formed the backdrop for the entire capacity building project. In January 2021, the Organized Village of Kake (OVK), Alaska, received funding for a planning grant from the National Institute of Justice through theTribal-Researcher Capacity-Building Grant program. The project focused on how to incorporate domestic violence (intimate partner violence) cases into the Circle Peacemaking process.and on developinga proposal to study that process.The partnership team consisted of members of the OVK Tribal staff and independent researchers. The grant was awarded in the midst of the COVID-19 global pandemic, so all work on this project had to be conducted remotely. Of particular importance, Zoom allowed for face-to-face meetings, even though they could not be held in person. The partnership determined that a research study on use of Circle Peacemaking to handle domestic violence cases should centre an Indigenous research paradigm. The conceptual framework for the Circle Peacemaking process, rooted in Linglt culture and life, is described. Existing strengths in the community that support the potential for using Circle Peacemaking in Kake to address domestic violence, potential measures of success, potential problems in carrying out a future study, and key learnings are also described.

On the quantitative analysis and evaluation of magnetic hysteresis data
Magnetic hysteresis data are centrally important in pure and applied rock magnetism, but to date, no objective quantitative methods have been developed for assessment of data quality and of the uncertainty in parameters calculated from imperfect data. We propose several initial steps toward such assessment, using loop symmetry as an important key. With a few notable exceptions (e.g., related to field cooling and exchange bias), magnetic hysteresis loops possess a high degree of inversion symmetry (M(H) = −M(−H)). This property enables us to treat the upper and lower half‐loops as replicate measurements for quantification of random noise, drift, and offsets. This, in turn, makes it possible to evaluate the statistical significance of nonlinearity, either in the high‐field region (due to nonsaturation of the ferromagnetic moment) or over the complete range of applied fields (due to nonnegligible contribution of ferromagnetic phases to the total magnetic signal). It also allows us to quantify the significance of fitting errors for model loops constructed from analytical basis functions. When a statistically significant high‐field nonlinearity is found, magnetic parameters must be calculated by approach‐to‐saturation fitting, e.g., by a model of the form M(H) = Ms + χHFH + αHβ. This nonlinear high‐field inverse modeling problem is strongly ill conditioned, resulting in large and strongly covariant uncertainties in the fitted parameters, which we characterize through bootstrap analyses. For a variety of materials, including ferrihydrite and mid‐ocean ridge basalts, measured in applied fields up to about 1.5 T, we find that the calculated value of the exponent β is extremely sensitive to small differences in the data or in the method of processing and that the overall uncertainty exceeds the range of physically reasonable values. The “unknowability” of β is accompanied by relatively large uncertainties in the other parameters, which can be characterized, if not rigorously quantified, through the bootstrapped distribution of best fit models. Nevertheless, approach‐to‐saturation fitting yields much more accurate estimates of important parameters like Ms than those obtained by linear M(H) fitting and should be used when maximum available fields are insufficient to reach saturation.

A Qualitative Exploration of the Process and Experience of Change in Moving on in My Recovery: An Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Based Recovery Group for Substance Use Disorder
Moving on in my recovery (MOIMR) is a new, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) based group intervention to support recovery from substance use disorder. It was co-developed by, and is co-facilitated with, people in recovery. This study used a grounded theory model to understand the process of change experienced by individuals who completed the group programme. Ten individuals who were abstinent from substances following their participation in MOIMR were interviewed. The model that emerged depicted a chronological series of processes that centred around a core category of gains derived from approaching their emotional vulnerability by leaning in to discomfort (e.g., difficult internal experiences like thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations) whilst pursuing activities that aligned to what mattered to them. Initial key processes indicated that participants experienced a degree of suffering from substance use prior to engagement. Group safety was a key element in fostering connection, normalisation, and cohesion, combined with psychological understanding being significantly derived from those with a lived experience of substance misuse and addiction. Later processes reflecting core ACT mechanisms such as letting go, value-guided action, and acceptance of difficult internal experiences took time to develop; many participants reported completing MOIMR more than once as a means of understanding these components. Limitations, along with implications for clinical practice and future research are discussed.

Characterizing healthcare resource utilization in two rare diseases (Kleefstra syndrome and SLC6A1 epileptic encephalopathy) using multimodal real-world data
Background
The cumulative economic burden of rare diseases surpasses that of common conditions, yet patterns of healthcare resource utilization (HRU) across rare diseases remain poorly characterized. This study leverages multimodal data collected during clinical care and through surveys to provide an in-depth evaluation of HRU across the disease journey of individuals with rare genetic diseases. Individuals with a confirmed diagnosis of Kleefstra syndrome (KS; n = 40) or SLC6A1 epileptic encephalopathy (SLC6A1; n = 30) were recruited. Structured and unstructured data were abstracted from participants’ medical records. Encounters per person-year of follow-up were calculated and compared pre- and post-diagnosis. Parents/guardians completed surveys assessing the impact of the participant’s diagnosis on their care.
Results
Records were available for a median of 6.4 years of follow-up from 268 unique healthcare facilities (median per patient = 4.5 facilities). Numbers of healthcare encounters were not significantly different 1 year pre- and post-diagnosis for either condition; however, the proportion of specialty encounters pre- and post-diagnosis varied significantly. Genetics encounters decreased for both conditions post-diagnosis. Cardiology, sleep medicine, and radiology encounters increased in KS post-diagnosis; conversely, audiology encounters decreased in KS post-diagnosis, and radiology encounters decreased in SLC6A1 post-diagnosis. Among specialty encounter types assessed, general practitioner (e.g. primary care, including pediatrics) encounters were the most common type for KS participants and the second-most common for SLC6A1 participants (after neurology encounters) both 1 year pre- and post-diagnosis. The number of both echocardiograms and electrocardiograms (ECG) significantly increased in KS 1 year post-diagnosis. 68% of survey respondents indicated that the participant’s care changed post-diagnosis.
Conclusions
Though there was no significant difference in the number of encounters pre- and post-diagnosis, significant changes in types of HRU suggest that diagnosis leads to more appropriate care and treatment. Advocacy organizations, researchers, drug developers, payors, and policymakers should consider the value of an early diagnosis to improve long-term outcomes and quality of life for patients and invest in measures that will shorten the time to diagnosis accordingly.
