Evaluating the spillover effects of the Sugira Muryango home-visiting intervention on temperament of children aged (0.3-3years) exposed to domestic violence: A cluster randomized c... by Theodat Siboyintore, Jeanne Marie Ntete, Jean Mutabaruka, Theresa Betancourt, Sarah Jensen, Vincent Sezibera

“…Given that the intervention was primarily designed to improve broader family dynamics rather than directly impact child temperament, these findings highlight the importance of focusing on direct intervention strategies aimed explicitly at the target child population. Future research should align with the theory of change by examining caregiver-related outcomes, such as parenting practices and mental health, which may influence child temperament. …”

Is Mechanism a Biological Variable?: A Secondary Analysis of the PROPPR Trial by Emily W. Baird, MD, MA, Daniel T. Lammers, MD, Russell L. Griffin, PhD, Shannon W. Stephens, EMTP, CCEMTP, Jan O. Jansen, MBBS, PhD, John B. Holcomb, MD

“…Previous research including clinical trials and basic science research suggests differences in mortality among patients injured by blunt or penetrating mechanisms, although differences between these 2 mechanisms—both baseline and effect size—are rarely considered explicitly. The objective of this analysis was to compare mortality and other clinical outcomes of trauma patients stratified specifically by injury mechanism and resuscitation strategy. …”
