there are three clinical trials with successful results in reducing sexual assault- one on bystander interventions, one on educating middle schoolers around issues of violence, and this one, published in the NEJM with excellent results. In short, the research team “assigned first-year female students at three…

It’ll be mandated shortly. This are just interim guidelines.

The Atlantic article doesn’t say the mechanism of memory and trauma is definitely untrue, just unsupported. I agree the Campbell research has probably been overstated. But just as there’s no (and pubmed is giving me some evidence to the contrary, but for the purposes of this response, no) very solid experimental…

completely agree!

you are hardcore trolling everywhere you can, eh?

And to clarify in case anyone is interested, this is one of several sections in book I’m referring to:

FWIW I think I’ve read >90% of books on sexual assault published in the last 5-10 years, and I disliked Blurred Lines. It seemed to me like she was writing for your moderate dad who isn’t quite sold on believing all survivors- qualifying arguments before making them i.e. “it may come as a surprise, but” and “i was…

Reading this and considering buying this book? This quote seems like a more accurate depiction of where I’m headed a third of the way in:

do you have your premed recs done? If not, the cheapest way to take them is one at a time, through your community college. You typically need 2 semesters orgo (sometimes 1), 2 semester gen chem, 2 semesters bio, 2 semesters physics, 1 semester biochem, 1 semester math. You need labs with the science classes. Try to…

Not to insert too much pessimism here, but access is not the same as engagement in care. Public health research usually defines access as something like “within feasible cost and can theoretically make it to a clinic/place that prescribes” but within that 53%, the % that is actually engaged in care, is able to adhere…

This already happens at the University of Arizona. It was a stipulation of the donation of the current football stadium I think back in the 70s. students there go to PP to learn about abortions as an elective.

That’s really hard. I bet your pup has had the absolute best pup life she could have ever had with you. It is cruel that some of our closest and most loyal family members are here to share only a fraction of our lives together.

I meant here where you posted it! :)

Is it just me or is this an especially demoralizing week in news?

This is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen and I can’t believe it doesn’t have more likes

for real tho. Fixed it for OP. “Male uber driver seems like one of the worst ideas ever. As does male uber passenger.”

“Pell was previously accused of mishandling child sex abuse cases brought against clergy members while he was the leader of the Archdioceses of Melbourne and Sydney. Allegations that he had sexually abused minors then began to surface, all of which he has repeatedly denied.”

Agreed re: lying for any outright question about health history. In the context of the law and the question posed, HIV is unique because of its social history, and bc it used to be a death sentence and now, for the most part is not.

IF your viral count is undetectable, there is essentially 0 risk of transmitting HIV to a partner. I have no idea if this is the case for Sheen but requiring people with well managed HIV to disclose is a larger political issue. The immediate gut reaction of “of course he should have told them” leaves no room for us to…
