About the Study: What is the potential impact of expanding alcohol screening and brief interventions in primary care on premature mortality from major alcohol-related causes of death in US adults? In this decision analytical model and microsimulation study, expanding delivery of alcohol brief interventions to an additional 8 million interventions per year was projected to reduce annual alcohol-related potential years of life lost per 100 000 adults by −51.3 (95% credible interval [CrI], −73.2 to −32.8) in men and −34.1 (CrI, −54.5 to −16.1) in women by 2030 compared with the status quo. These findings suggest that substantially expanding alcohol screening and brief interventions in primary care may reduce premature mortality and help narrow the socioeconomic gap in alcohol-related mortality in the US.

An analysis of 1.6 million ICE arrests shows that while arrests are at a historic high, most of those detained have no criminal conviction. The study also shows that ICE has changed its tactics, with more arrests being made in community gathering places like schools, workplaces and airports.

Digital workplace innovation could help more women entrepreneurs become leaders of family firms by making it easier to balance work and family life, according to new research from the University of East London.

Corporate climate spending now steers trillions of dollars in transition finance worldwide. Does it drive genuine climate action? Research shows that accounting flexibility alone can make a company's reported emissions vary by roughly a factor of two – enough to appear either as a climate leader or a laggard. A new Perspective in Nature Sustainability proposes developing industry-specific net-zero blueprints to close that gap.

Strategic public investment in research and development (R&D) can begin boosting economic activity immediately, according to a study led by the University of Southampton. The research shows it can also mobilise private R&D, supporting economic growth for years.

Simply explaining where customers' money goes could make them more willing to pay higher prices, according to new research from the University of Surrey. 

Economists from HSE University, together with colleagues from international universities, have analysed stock market movements over almost a century and proposed an investment strategy that could have delivered returns nearly twice as high as the market average. Their research suggests following a momentum strategy during periods of sustained market growth and switching to a value strategy after prolonged market declines. The study has been published in the Journal of Banking and Finance.
