Weight misperception and weight-related behaviors in non-Hispanic Black youth.

Current literature is conflicting regarding whether accurate weight perception encourages healthy weight-related behaviors. This study examined the prevalence of weight misperception and explored associations between weight misperception and weight-related behaviors among 353 Black adolescents in Broward County, Florida. Overall, 44.8% of participants misperceived their weight, with boys more often misperceiving their weight than girls (52.2% vs 40.2%). Students who misperceived their weight were more likely to try to lose weight but less likely to be adequately physically active. Adolescents who underestimated their weight were less likely to be physically active and excessively play video or computer games or use a computer. There was no association between weight misperception and daily physical education attendance or excessive television watching. Weight misperception appears to be a risk factor for obesity in adolescents, as weight misperception was associated with lower engagement in physical activity.

The Role of Facebook in Shaping Voting Behavior of Youth: Perspective of a Developing Country

This paper explores Facebook’s role in shaping the political perception of youth during the 2018 general elections in Pakistan. It also gauges the ideological standpoint of youth in Pakistan that influences their voting decisions. An online campaign has become an indispensable source for politicians to influence the masses without the constraints of distance and time. It is a quantitative study based on a questionnaire survey of young Pakistani voters. Findings show that Facebook has presumed the role of an instigator in shaping the voting behavior of educated youth. Respondents perceived Facebook as biased while expressing views and assisted political entities in manipulating the data to increase their vote bank. Though the majority of them haven’t experienced fake news so either they are not conscious or they trust blindly the information. Furthermore, respondents’ cognitive abilities are not obstructed by politicians using Facebook, instead, friends and family network seems more persuasive in determining voters’ choice. Results manifest that ideological standpoint impacts voters’ decisions substantially. There is no statistical difference in the voting behavior of respondents based on gender and/or age. The individuality of this study is that it focuses on the medium of communication between politicians and youth instead of emphasizing the social cleavages and their impact on voters’ decisions, which Pakistani scholars largely study. This study will prompt the field of psephology in Pakistan, which is largely ignored, and help scholars to move out of the domain of identity politics.

Melatonin and self harm behavior in youth, beyond the sleep impact

IntroductionSleep disorders in youth are associated to psychiatric disorders and may lead to significant negative effects on cognitive skills, emotional regulation and behavior such as self harm.ObjectivesThe aim of our study is to highlight the melatonin effects on reducing self harm behaviors in the youth.MethodsOur work is a literature review based on the PubMed interface and adapted for 2 databases: Science Direct and Google Scholar using the following combination ( self harm [MeSH terms]) AND ( melatonin [MeSH terms]) AND ( youth [MeSH terms]) .ResultsWe initially reviewed 6 articles published between 2012 and 2022. We retained 3 articles which corresponded to the aim of our study.Self harm behaviors were mainly described in youth during adolescenthood. In fact, self injurious release may be considered as way to release emotional tension and physical discomfort.Melatonin prescribed in youth for the treatment of sleep disorders not only improved sleep ,but also mood disorders and impulsivity. Melatonin restores indirectly serotonin levels through a continuous bidirectional connexion . Therefore it is efficient on psychiatric comorbidites, especially anxiety and depression which are associated with intentional self-harm.ConclusionsMelatonin is the most prescribed drug for sleep disturbances in children and adolescents, its impact covers a large spectrum of disturbances including the self harm behaviors.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

Youth's energy intake during a laboratory-based loss-of-control eating paradigm: Associations with reported current dieting

Dieting is theorized as a risk factor for loss-of-control (LOC)-eating (i.e., feeling a sense of lack of control while eating). Support for this association has largely relied on retrospective self-report data, which does not always correlate with objectively assessed eating behavior in youth. We hypothesized that during a laboratory-based LOC-eating paradigm, children and adolescents who reported current (at the time of the visit) dieting would consume meals consistent with LOC-eating (greater caloric intake, and intake of carbohydrates and fats, but less intake of protein). Participants were presented with a buffet-style meal and instructed to “Let yourself go and eat as much as you want.” Current dieting (i.e., any deliberate change to the amount or type of food eaten to influence shape or weight, regardless of how effective the changes are) was assessed via interview. General linear models were adjusted for fat mass (%), lean mass (kg), height, sex, protocol, race and ethnicity, pre-meal hunger and minutes since consumption of a breakfast shake. Of 337 participants (Mage 12.8 ± 2.7y; 62.3 % female; 45.7 % non- Hispanic White and 26.1 % non-Hispanic Black; MBMIz 0.78 ± 1.11), only 33 (9.8 %) reported current dieting. Current dieting was not significantly associated with total energy intake (F = 1.63, p = .20, ηp2 = 0.005), or intake from carbohydrates (F = 2.45, p = .12, ηp2 = 0.007), fat (F = 2.65, p = .10, ηp2 = 0.008), or protein (F = 0.39, p = .53, ηp2 = 0.001). Contrary to theories that dieting promotes LOC-eating, current dieting was not associated with youth's eating behavior in a laboratory setting. Experimental approaches for investigating dieting are needed to test theories that implicate dieting in pediatric LOC-eating.

Clozapine Treatment for Aggressive Behaviors in Youths with Neurodevelopmental Disorders.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess effectiveness and tolerability of Clozapine in the treatment of aggression in youth with Neurodevelopmental Disorders. Methods: Patients were consecutively admitted at our third-level university hospital with nationwide catchment from June 2018 to October 2022, and followed up to July 2023. Eligibility criteria were as follows: (1) Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and/or Intellectual Disability/Borderline Cognitive Functioning, (2) behavioral dyscontrol with physical aggression; (3) age range between 8 and 18 years; (4) clinical indication for Clozapine treatment after at least two failed trials with other Second-Generation Antipsychotics (SGAs); (5) availability of an at least 6-month-long follow-up. To evaluate the response to Clozapine, we used the Clinical Global Impressions (CGI) rating scales (Clinical Global Impressions-Severity [CGI-S] and Clinical Global Impressions-Improvement [CGI-I]), the Children's Global Assessment Scale (CGAS), and the Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC). Results: Twenty-six children and adolescents (21 boys, age 13.47 ± 2.05 years, follow-up duration 9.77 ± 3.50 months) were included in the analysis. Clinical severity (CGI-S) and functional impairment (Clinical Global Assessment Scale) significantly improved, as well as the ABC Total Score and the scores in several subscales. Sixteen patients (61.54%) were responders (CGI-I ≤2), and 13 (50.00%) displayed remission of aberrant behaviors (ΔABC-Total >35), while response/remission condition was not affected by add-on medications and psychotherapy. Most frequent side effects were increased appetite (50.00%), sialorrhea (38.46%), and increased repetitive behaviors (26.92%). Two patients presented epileptic seizures, while no patients presented leucopoenia. Conclusions: Our results suggest that Clozapine may be helpful in ameliorating treatment-resistant aggression in youth with neurodevelopmental conditions. Possible pharmacological strategies for the management of most frequent side effects are also suggested.

Incendiary: Fire setting behaviors in youth

A 12‐year‐old boy presented for psychiatric assessment with a chief complaint of “fire setting.” The patient was reluctant to speak, however, his caregiver stated that he had set a fire in the basement of his home while the rest of the family were asleep. They were alerted due to the smoke alarm going off and were able to hurriedly contain the situation. The patient had a history of physical and emotional abuse from parents and was residing with his legal guardian, his maternal aunt.

Innovation theater in corporate venturing units: Cultural design as a (de)legitimizing mechanism

AbstractThis paper builds theory on theatrical cultural design in corporate venturing units, such as manifested in playful esthetics (foosball tables and beanbags), startup lingo, or youthful behavior (building with Lego bricks and informal dressing). We develop a set of propositions, illuminating how theatrical cultural design can (de)legitimize corporate venturing units, highlighting three different functions: attention‐direction function, social categorization function, and escapist function. In addition, we explain how such changes in legitimization can influence the resilience of corporate venturing units. Our framework contributes to an emergent debate on innovation theater by pointing to the possibility of innovation theater as a constructive process in contemporary innovation management practices.

Advertising Literacy and Fast Food Purchasing Behavior of Youth in Pakistan: An Experimental Study

Today, the role of advertising appealing to young people is very important in the task of influencing their consumer behavior in the sphere of fast food. Therefore, this research investigates the moderating effect of advertising literacy on the actual choice of fast foods by young consumers through an experimental design. This research sample comprised seventy participants and used a pre-test/post-test design within a single-subject group. Specifically, the present research intended to evaluate the utility of an intervention that intended to improve the extent of advertising literacy and its manifold impact on the behaviors of the subjects. The results highlighted awfully low level of advertising literacy among the respondents, meaning that a significant portion of young consumers lack critical thinking skills regarding advertisements or even the possibility of the negative consequences of the effects of fast food consumption portrayed in the commercials. The intention of the intervention was quite simple: to make people think more critically about what is being advertised and to make them aware of the impact of the advertisements being aired; but as the post-test indicated, there was only a marginal change in participants' fast food consumption behavior. It could be said that even though the level of advertising literacy is high, this is not enough to bring some profound changes in consumption behavior, at least in the context where time convenience and the pleasure of tasting are the cultural imperatives. These results stress the need for more adequate educational campaigns aimed at enhancing youth advertising literacy and point at the need for integrating information on the purpose and potential consequences of fast foods advertising into the campaigns. Furthermore, it should urge legislators to pass further regulations that would prevent the usage of misleading ads to target young consumers.

일반 청소년과 성 소수자 청년의 성문화 특성에 대한 연구

This study was conducted to determine the sexual values and sexual behaviorcharacteristics of general youth and sexual minority youth. To achieve the researchpurpose, data from a survey on youth sexual culture in the Busan region by the BusanMetropolitan City Women and Family Foundation(2021) were used. The main contents ofthe research results are summarized as follows. First, among youth's gender equalityvalues, misogynistic values were higher in sexual minority youth, and gender equalityperception was higher in general youth than in sexual minority youth. Second, if we lookat the characteristics of youth concerns and experiences related to sexual behavior, theyare as follows. The health of youth sexual culture was found to be higher for generalyouth than for sexual minority youth, and the differences between, sexual relationshipexperience, experience of witnessing sexist hate speech, and experience of sexist hatespeech. In the case of the frequency of youth sex-related conversations, sexual minorityyouth were more likely to share information such as sexually explicit texts, videos, andsites than general youth, and the attitudes toward sexual behavior of youth were mostlyhigher for sexual minority youth than general youth. Based on these research results,intervention measures related to adolescents' sexual values and sexual behaviorcharacteristics were proposed.

Protective role of family mealtime frequency against disordered eating behaviors: Racial and ethnic differences

Family mealtimes have been recognized for their positive effect on child and adolescent health outcomes. Frequent family meals have been shown to have protective effects in reducing disordered eating behaviors, but the variability of these effects across different racial and ethnic backgrounds has been less explored. To address the gap, the current study utilizes a sample of 33,417 families with children (ages 6–17) in the United States who participated in the 2022 National Surveys of Children's Health (NSCH). Logistic regressions were conducted to examine the association between family mealtime frequency and the manifestation of disordered eating across youth from diverse racial/ethnic backgrounds. Our findings revealed that frequent family mealtimes are associated with a lower risk of engaging in disordered eating behaviors in youth. However, there were disparities in the associations between family mealtime frequency and the prevalence of disordered eating behaviors among children from different racial/ethnic backgrounds. Youth who never participated in family mealtimes were at a greater risk of engaging in disordered eating behaviors among those identifying as non-Hispanic Black or of ‘other’ racial groups. In youth identifying with multiple races, the frequency of family was not associated with the odds of disordered eating behaviors. The results provide insights into the nuanced influence of family mealtime frequency on disordered eating based on diverse racial/ethnic groups. This highlights the need for future studies to identify factors associated with racial/ethnic identities that may contribute to disordered eating behaviors in youth to identify the unique needs and challenges faced by families in leveraging the protective effect of family mealtimes.

Analytics of Personal Motivation on Acquiring Skills for Workforce with reference to skill development Programmes

Purpose: The research aims to inspect and estimate the impact of Personal motivation of trainees on Skill acquiring in skill training. It identifies the relationship between the personal input its impact on the training process and the relation it produces in the outcome (skills acquired)
 Design/methodology/approach: A questionnaire for the study was designed, and information was composed on a multistage random sampling basis. Three hundred and eighty-four samples of data were collected and analyzed using Smart PLS - Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique.
 Findings: The study shows that Personal motivation plays a positive role in the skill gain of rural youth. It is also clear from the model that training processes like quality and relevance play a mediating role in acquiring skills. The factors help in the understanding type of input to be concentrated by the policymakers to increase a specific outcome. All the factors influence the training outcome (skill acquired) positive results.
 Research limitations/implications: This study covers only personal motivation as trainee input. Other training inputs like social factors, economic factors, and equality factors may further be included in future studies.
 Social Implications: The study will help the policymakers to get focus on which area the rural youth must be motivated to get the desired outcome. In this case, personal motivation is the key for rural youth to gain skills. Also, the training institutes must ensure that they provide good quality and relevance to boost the personal behavior of rural youth. If a training institute aims at only adding skill gain to the rural youth the major factor to be boosted is the personal factor.
 Originality/Value: Only limited studies have examined the impact of Personal factors on the Skills acquired as training outcome with quality and relevance as mediating factors of Smart PLS is a novel idea, and it is a first-hand study of its kind.

Peer inclusion and school equality norm associations with intergroup contact, and academic self‐efficacy amongst ethnic majority and ethnic minority youth

AbstractSocial norms are important predictors of youth attitudes and behaviours. There is substantial evidence that positive and meaningful intergroup contact supported by inclusive norms can have a range of benefits beyond prejudice reduction. The present research explores whether perceived peer inclusion norms and perceived norms of equality in school are associated with better quality and more frequent intergroup contact and in turn, whether these are associated with better academic self‐efficacy. To test these assertions, we conducted a cross‐sectional survey with ethnic majority and ethnic minority youth aged 11–12 (n = 629, 48% female, 43% minority ethnic) attending one of four ethnically diverse secondary schools in England. In support of our hypotheses, we found that both perceived inclusive peer norms and perceived school equality norms were associated with higher quantity and quality of contact for both ethnic majority and minority group youth. An indirect effect was observed whereby perceived peer norms of inclusion and school norms of equality were associated with higher academic self‐efficacy through higher quality outgroup contact for both groups. No indirect effect was observed for contact quantity. Findings evidence the importance of perceived peer and school equality norms as well as intergroup contact effects for outcomes that go beyond prejudice reduction, in this case academic self‐efficacy.

Symptom Severity and Health Impacts of Functional Tic-Like Behaviors in Youth

BackgroundWe performed this study to improve understanding of the relationship between functional tic-like behaviors (FTLBs) and quality of life, loneliness, family functioning, anxiety, depression, and suicidality. MethodThis cross-sectional study assessed self-reported quality of life, disability, loneliness, depression, anxiety, family functioning, tic severity, and suicide risk in age- and birth-sex matched youth with FTLBs, Tourette syndrome (TS), and neurotypical controls. We performed specific subanalyses comparing individuals with FTLBs who identified as transgender/gender diverse (TGD) with cisgender individuals. ResultsEighty-two youth participated (age range 11 to 25, 90% female at birth), including 35 with FTLBs, 22 with TS, and 25 neurotypical controls. A significantly higher proportion of participants with FTLB identified as TGD (15 of 35) than TS (two of 22) and neurotypical control (three of 25) participants. Compared with neurotypical controls, individuals with FTLBs had significantly lower quality of life, greater disability, loneliness, social phobia, anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms, and suicidality. Compared with individuals with TS, individuals with FTLBs had more school/work absences due to tics, had more depressive symptoms, were more likely to be at high risk for suicidality, and had disability in self-care and life activity domains. There were no significant differences between cisgender and TGD participants with FTLB in any of the domains assessed. ConclusionsYouth with FTLB have unique health care needs and associations with anxiety, depression, sex, and gender.

Disordered Eating Behaviors and Eating Disorders in Youth With Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review

OBJECTIVE This systematic review aimed to examine disordered eating behaviors (DEBs) in youth with type 2 diabetes. Specifically, we sought to describe the most common DEBs, identify risk and protective factors, and review screening tools and interventions that have been developed for and/or used in this population. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A systematic review was performed of randomized controlled, quasi-experimental, case, and qualitative studies focused on DEBs in youth with type 2 diabetes. All studies were rated for quality by the first and second authors. RESULTS Five reports from four unique studies were included in the review. Trends found in the reviewed studies included that approximately half of youth study participants with type 2 diabetes had elevated scores on the Diabetes Eating Problem Survey – Revised. Based on the limited data available, these youth were more likely to engage in DEBs than youth with type 1 diabetes. Risk factors for DEBs in youth with type 2 diabetes included obesity, body weight/shape concerns, and caregiver subclinical binge eating. CONCLUSION There is very limited published literature regarding DEBs in youth with type 2 diabetes, suggesting a need for further research to better develop a framework to illuminate key influential variables in the development of DEBs in this population, further develop screening tools, and to design effective interventions.

Human behavior in philosophical and legal understanding: children's aspects during military actions

The article examines the origin of the concept of human behavior. It was found that human behavior became the subject of study in various fields of knowledge. The origins of the formation of the concept of human behavior go back to Antiquity, which can be traced in the works of famous philosophers and thinkers. In this period, the concept of justice and coexistence of members of society was considered. It was established that Christianity had a significant influence on human behavior, which became the starting point in the formation of human behavior, worldview and, as a result, the creation of formal rules that gradually spread to all spheres of human existence. Historical events that were important for changing paradigmatic ideas about human behavior can also be traced during the First and Second World Wars, because it was during these tragic times that the very value of a person and his life, health, honor and dignity acquired a different color, which also influenced behavior and its interpretation. Human behavior can be considered based on age, value, social, moral, somatic, economic, labor, political markers, etc. The formation of human behavior begins at an early age, and parents are primarily agents of the child's socialization and guides to an independent life and in the process of the child's initial learning of his own reaction to events and the differentiation of positive and negative behavior, which builds the basic framework for his further interaction with the surrounding world. All these components affect the further formation of certain standard patterns in a person, which he subconsciously uses as a reaction to the surrounding world. Considerable changes that took place in the post-war period and in the postmodern period are studied. Attention is focused on the change in human behavior in the present.
 The impact of the war on the behavior of children and youth, which underwent significant changes, was analyzed.

Hadrah Sebagai Media Dakwah Dalam Meningkatkan Perilaku Keagamaan Pemuda Majlis Ta’lim Arafah Bojonggede Bogor

Abstract— This study explores the impact of hadrah as a means of Islamic propagation in enhancing the religious behavior of youth in Majlis Ta'lim Arafah Bojonggede, Bogor. Majlis Ta'lim Arafah Bojonggede is a regular activity of the local community, often conducted more frequently than special gatherings for Islamic students, with the main events usually held on Friday evenings and during major Islamic holidays. The implementation of hadrah as a means of Islamic propagation involves several concrete steps, such as integration into events, training and practice, Islamic content in hadrah, empowerment of youth, and evaluation. The impact of hadrah is evident in the increased enthusiasm for Islamic propagation, the positive psychological reception of messages, and its significance in shaping Islamic behavior. In the context of Edward L. Deci's theory of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, it is found that intrinsic motivation, stemming from internal satisfaction, and extrinsic motivation, stemming from external factors, mutually influence each other in enhancing engagement and Islamic behavior. In conclusion, hadrah as a means of Islamic propagation can significantly contribute to enhancing the religious behavior of youth, with intrinsic and extrinsic motivation playing a crucial role in this process. Keywords: Hadrah, Islamic propagation, Religious behavior, Intrinsic motivation, Extrinsic motivation

Traumatic Experiences and High-Risk Behaviors Among Runaway Youth in Residential Care Centers: The Influence of Sensation Seeking and Impulsivity

ABSTRACT Running away from a residential care center is a worrying reality due to high-risk behaviors adopted by many youths such as delinquency, substance abuse, risky sexual behavior and risky driving. Because youth in residential care may have been exposed to a variety of traumatic experiences (e.g. emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, emotional and physical neglect), the purpose of this study is first, to examine the association between these experiences and high-risk behaviors in adolescents in residential care. Second, this study aims to explore the explanatory mechanisms (impulsivity and sensation-seeking) behind the adoption of high-risk behaviors in runaway and non-runaway youth in residential care. To this end, 125 adolescents aged 15–17 who had run away at least once and 75 who had never run away from their residential care center completed self-report questionnaires about traumatic experiences, high-risk behaviors, sensation seeking and impulsivity. To address the study objectives, correlation and conditional mediation analyses were conducted. Results indicate that sensation seeking influences the relationship between traumatic experiences and delinquency, as well as drug and alcohol use. Thus, addressing sensation seeking tendencies could reduce the risks inherent in the adoption of certain high-risk behaviors among youth in residential care centers.

Mother-child dynamics: Examining reciprocal relations between parental knowledge, child disclosure, parental legitimacy beliefs, and adolescent alcohol use.

Early adolescent alcohol use is associated with adverse developmental and health outcomes. Parental knowledge can prevent or delay substance use, while youth behaviors may concurrently influence parenting. More research is needed to examine the role of youth's perceptions of legitimacy of parental authority. This multi-informant study examined prospective bidirectional effects between parental knowledge and child disclosure alongside youth-reported alcohol use and perceived legitimacy of parental authority. Data were analyzed across three waves in a community sample of 304 mother-child dyads. A cross-lagged panel model was estimated using repeated measures of adolescent alcohol use, perceived legitimacy of parental authority, parental knowledge, and child disclosure. Positive reciprocal associations were found in early adolescence between child disclosure and both parental knowledge and perceived legitimacy of parental authority. Legitimacy of parental authority negatively predicted alcohol use across adolescence. Child alcohol use also negatively predicted parental knowledge among mothers in later adolescence. Effects were not reciprocated nor sustained. Novel findings demonstrate that the parental legitimacy beliefs predict reduced alcohol use and have a reciprocal association with child disclosure. Clinical implications to mitigate youth alcohol use initiation, by enhancing parental self-efficacy and positive parenting, are discussed.

Long-term impact of the Fostering Healthy Futures for Preteens program on suicide-related thoughts and behaviors for youth in out-of-home care: A randomized controlled trial.

Youth in out-of-home care are at high risk for suicide-related thoughts and behaviors (STB), yet there are no known efficacious interventions that reduce STB for this population. Fostering Healthy Futures for Preteens (FHF-P) is a 9-month community-based mentoring and skills training preventive intervention for children in out-of-home care. A randomized controlled trial enrolled 156 participants aged 9-11 years who were placed in out-of-home care over the prior year. Participants were 48.9% female, 54.1% Hispanic, 30.1% Black, and 27.1% American Indian. Follow-up interviews, conducted 7-12 years postintervention (85.2% retention rate), asked young adult participants, aged 18-22, to self-report lifetime STB as indexed by non-suicidal self-injury, suicidal thoughts, plans, and/or attempts. There was a nonsignificant reduction in the odds of STB for the intervention group at follow-up (OR = 0.74; CI, 0.32, 1.69). However, FHF-P significantly moderated the effect of baseline STB; control youth who reported baseline STB had 10 times the odds of young adult STB (OR = 10.44, CI, 2.28, 47.78), but there was no increase in the odds of adult-reported STB for intervention youth. Findings suggest that FHF-P buffers the impact of pre-existing STB on young adult STB for care-experienced youth. Further research is needed to identify mechanisms that may reduce STB in this population.

Sexual Minorities and Loneliness: Exploring Sexuality through Social Media and Gender-Sexuality Alliance (GSA) Supports.

We examined online and offline social supports for sexual minority adolescents, underscoring the understudied developmental period of early adolescence and the mental outcome of loneliness. Stemming from a larger study in the northeast U.S., 967 youth participants were 26% sexual minority, 53% female, 45% male, and 2% other/nonbinary (mean age = 13.1, SD = 1.52). LGBTQ+ youth reported significantly higher levels of loneliness compared to their heterosexual counterparts. To understand potential sources of social support while exploring their sexual identities, we compared the experiences of LGBTQ+ youth at both ends of the loneliness spectrum. Gaining knowledge about their sexual orientation from LGBTQ+ organization websites, participating in gender-sexuality alliances, and using TikTok or Instagram were associated with lower levels of loneliness. Providing social support to online friends was associated with lower loneliness; however, receiving online support was not associated with lower loneliness. Furthermore, proactive social media engagement such as posting uplifting content, joining online communities, or raising awareness about social issues were associated with lower levels of loneliness. The results provide guidance on specific youth behaviors and online communities beyond a focus on screen time while highlighting the continued need for social support to ameliorate loneliness, such as gender-sexuality alliance networks.
