Implications for practice and research:
-There is scope for public health to consider non-alcoholic beverages as a potential strategy to reduce alcohol consumption in adults who drink excessively.
-Future research should explore whether non-alcoholic beverages can reduce alcohol consumption in a wider range of countries and in different population groups, such as individuals with a diagnosis of alcohol dependence.

'As the NHS moves towards providing Enhanced Primary Care Services, which include mental health services for people with more complex presentations, such an intervention may offer practitioners an easily implementable tool which could help reduce escalation to secondary care and improve mental health literacy'
Eye-tracking technology could be used as a tool to allow RTT children and adults to communicate and learn in an easier way as well as for the detection of their feelings. Using eye-tracking technology as a method to complement cognitive assessment of children has a lot of potential not just for children with RTT but also for other individuals with limited communication skills.
'provision of community perinatal mental health teams is associated with increased mental health service access and reduced post-partum relapse, as well as reductions in pre-term birth. However, higher rates of stillbirth and neonatal death in regions where such teams are provided show that investment in mental healthcare alone cannot be assumed to influence the pregnancy risks known to be higher in women with mental health conditions.'
'The review uncovers challenges in incorporating forensic social work into generic social work education due to factors such as socioeconomic structure, historical and political influences, and attitudes towards forensic social work.'
'The findings from Ekezie et al. (2023) paint a troubling picture that emphasises how cultural discrimination and lack of understanding can lead to disengagement and underrepresentation of ethnic minority voices within health and social care services and research. It also provides insight into how additional factors such as poor service provision, language barriers, and lack of cultural sensitivity can exacerbate illnesses, and further contribute to feelings of apprehension and distrust.'
As cannabis policies become more permissive, there is a reasonable concern that this may increase rates of CUD and contribute further to the incidence of other mental health disorders. However, several strategies can be implemented to offset these harms.
This study aimed to establish quality criteria to assist patients, caregivers, and the public in evaluating the reliability of online health information.
While ChatGPT has gained popularity in various domains, it may not be the ideal focus for medical professionals due to its reliance on language pattern prediction rather than direct fact retrieval, potentially leading to inaccurate outputs. We emphasize the limitations of ChatGPT's training data, which mainly come from non-specialized sources and may result in misleading answers in highly specialized medical domains. We advocate for a shift towards specialized medical large language models (LLMs) that are trained using authoritative medical databases, supplemented by human validation, to ensure accuracy and completeness of data.

We introduce Get Free Copy (https://getfreecopy.com), a web-based platform designed to streamline the search for biomedical literature across major repositories like arXiv, bioRxiv, medRxiv, and PubMed Central (PMC). Addressing challenges posed by paywalls and fragmented databases, it offers a unified interface for efficient retrieval of free, legitimate copies of biomedical literature. The platform's implementation involves a Node.js backend and dynamic front-end display, enhancing accessibility and research efficiency. As an open-source project, Get Free Copy represents a significant contribution to the open-access movement, inviting global researcher collaboration for further development.
