Childhood traumatic events and transgender identity are strongly associated with suicidal thoughts and behaviors in university students

IMIM (Hospital del Mar Medical Research Institute)
Peer-Reviewed Publication

The university stage, particularly its beginning, is a time of tension and emotional stress for young students-many of whom are under the age of 20. This is a group in which suicidal ideation has increased significantly in recent years, surpassing the general population. The study, part of the World Mental Health International College Student Initiative led by Harvard University, invited nearly 73,000 students from 71 universities in eighteen countries to participate. It is the most comprehensive study conducted to date on this population. Experiencing traumatic events during childhood and having parents with mental health disorders are the main risk factors for suicidal behavior. In addition, transgender students are 2.4 times more likely to experience suicidal thoughts than other students.

Key components for promoting recovery colleges globally

Shanghai Jiao Tong University Journal Center

Recovery colleges (RCs) support personal recovery through education, skill development and social support for people with mental health problems, carers and staff. Guided by co-production and adult learning principles, RCs represent a recent mental health innovation. Since the first RC opened in England in 2009, RCs have expanded to 28 countries and territories. However, most RC research has been conducted in Western countries with similar cultural characteristics, limiting understanding of how RCs can be culturally adapted. The 12-item Recovery Colleges Characterisation and Testing (RECOLLECT) Fidelity Measure (RFM) evaluates the operational fidelity of RCs based on 12 components, but cultural influences on these components remain underexplored. The authors aimed to assess associations between Hofstede’s cultural dimensions and RFM items to identify cultural influences on fidelity components.

Misconceptions keep some cancer patient populations from benefitting from hormone therapy

The Menopause Society
Peer-Reviewed Publication

CLEVELAND, Ohio (September 10, 2025)—Despite evidence suggesting the safety of hormone therapy for patients with a history of low-grade endometrial or epithelial ovarian cancer, a new survey shows that many gynecologists and some gynecologic oncologists are still uncomfortable prescribing the therapy for this patient population. This indicates a need for more clinician education to help overcome lingering misconceptions. Results of the survey are published online today in Menopause, the journal of The Menopause Society.
