A parent who listens, a teacher who offers encouragement, or friends who make school fun can leave a lasting impression. But could these everyday moments also shape mental health years later? A new study explored how positive childhood experiences relate to mental health in adulthood, examining whether supportive relationships and environments may matter alongside difficult or traumatic experiences. About the studyResearchers followed 3,499 people from a birth cohort in England from birth to age 24. They assessed 10 types of positive childhood experiences between ages 0 and 17, including supportive relationships with parents or teachers, feeling safe in the neighborhood, enjoying school, having close friends, and spending time with family and friends. Researchers gave participants a positive childhood experiences score based on how many of these 10 experience types they had. Each type contributed one point, creating a score from zero to 10. The score counted the range of positive experiences, not how often they happened or how meaningful each one was to the child.

Evaluating Adherence to iRefer Guidelines and Barriers to Implementation Among Non-consultant Hospital Doctors in a Model 3 Hospital: A Mixed-Methods Study - Cureus
Background The Royal College of Radiologists' (RCR) iRefer guidelines are an established evidence-based clinical decision support tool intended to optimise diagnostic imaging referrals, reduce unnecessary radiation exposure, and improve radiology workflow efficiency. In Ireland, imaging referrals also carry statutory weight: Statutory Instrument (S.I.) No. 256 of 2018 places defined duties on referrers regarding the justification of medical exposures, and Health Service Executive (HSE) guidance requires referrers to have access to iRefer or an equivalent decision support tool. Awareness and use of iRefer among non-consultant hospital doctors (NCHDs) in smaller, high-turnover hospital settings are poorly described. Aim To evaluate awareness, utilisation, and accessibility of the iRefer guidelines among NCHDs in a Model 3 hospital and to identify the systemic, technological, and cultural barriers preventing routine use. Methods A sequential explanatory mixed-methods design was employed. Phase 1 comprised an in-person, anonymous cross-sectional audit questionnaire developed by the authors for this study, administered to NCHDs to assess awareness, decision-making sources, and guideline
