Abstract Healthcare workers (HCWs) face elevated risk for burnout and stress-related disorders, yet conventional self-report assessments are limited by professional stigma and underreporting. We evaluated whether multimodal computational analysis of brief, remotely collected stress narratives could distinguish longitudinal stress profiles.

Abstract : Background: Sugary drinks (SDs) are the predominant contributors to added sugar intake among adolescents, with the highest intakes reported among African American adolescents. The objective of this pilot study was to examine the feasibility of using mobile phone-based ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to investigate, in real time, behavioral patterns of SD consumption among African American adolescents from low-income households.

Secondary analysis (symptomatic COVID-19 cases) We conducted a secondary analysis restricted to only symptomatic infections as compared with SARS-CoV-2 uninfected pregnant women; asymptomatic infections were excluded from this analysis. Similar to the primary analysis, we found that pregnant women with symptomatic infections were more likely than uninfected pregnant women to be admitted to the ICU, require ventilation or receive critical care.
