In this systematic review, the authors searched for studies about the effects of direct parenting education programmes (PEPs) versus indirect methods of education (e.g. handbooks) on the parenting attitudes of socioeconomically vulnerable refugee and migrant parents. They searched in August 2020 for articles published in English or Korean since 2000. The authors excluded parents of adolescents and of children who had specific health problems. They found 23 studies, of which 19 were included in ...

Law enforcement workers (police, military) are subjected to stress at work, which increases the risk of psychological disorders (as anxiety, depression, sleep problems, cynicism, anger, post-traumatic stress disorder, marital problems, and distress), especially in case of disaster or emergency situations.
The evidence was found thanks to randomized clinical trials and quasi-experimental studies, and it was considered an uncertain evidence.
Prostate cancer screening instruments frequently result in men undergoing prostate biopsies that find either clinically insignificant cancer or no cancer. A polygenic risk score measures the burden of risk-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms that an individual carries, and there is interest in using these scores to improve risk prediction for prostate cancer. Although polygenic risk scores have been associated with prevalent and incident disease, prior studies have shown that they do not ...
Coronary heart disease screening is a cornerstone of kidney transplant evaluation and, to our knowledge, is recommended by every guideline to date. Testing, either noninvasive or invasive, in asymptomatic patients awaiting kidney transplant is prevalent in practice. High rates of testing have persisted despite multiple large randomized clinical trials published during the 2000s that argued against coronary heart disease screening in asymptomatic patients. Proponents of screening contend that ...
The "Things We Do for No ReasonTM (TWDFNR)” series reviews practices,
which have become common parts of hospital care, may provide little
value to our patients. Practices reviewed in the TWDFNR series do not
represent “black and white” conclusions or clinical practice standards, but
are meant as a starting place for research and active discussions among
hospitalists and patients
