ReviewResilience and alcohol use in adulthood in the United States: A scoping review.
High levels of alcohol use and the development of alcohol use disorder (AUD) are associated with various adverse consequences. Resilience has been proposed as a protective factor against increased alcohol use, though the existing research is limited by inconsistencies in the conceptualization and measurement of resilience. ⋯ Findings from the included studies generally suggest resilience as a protective factor against various outcomes, though methodological limitations should be considered. Although future research in this area should improve upon methodological limitations, the present review suggests clinical implications of resilience as beneficial in prevention and intervention programming for alcohol use outcomes.

ReviewA systematic review of recurrent firearm injury rates in the United States.
To conduct a systematic review of methodologies, data sources, and best practices for identifying, calculating, and reporting recurrent firearm injury rates in the United States. ⋯ Variability in both the data sources and methods used to evaluate and report recurrent firearm injury limits individual study generalizability of individual and societal factors that influence recurrent firearm injury. Our systematic review highlights the need for development, dissemination, and implementation of standard practices for calculating and reporting recurrent firearm injury.
