- U of M teen sex and depression study finds most teens' mental health unaffected by nonmarital sex
05-22-2007 · EurekAlert!
For a decade, the legislative push for "abstinence only" sex education has suggested that nonmarital sex negatively affects a teen's mental health. But a new study shows that the negative mental side effects of a teen's loss of virginity are confined to a small proportion of those who have sex -- specifically, young girls and both boys and girls who have sex earlier than their peers and whose relationships are uncommitted and ultimately fall apart.

- Ski area affects mountain watershed, UVM study shows
05-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
In the first-ever study to document the effects of ski resort development on water flows and quality in the northeastern US, University of Vermont researchers studied side-by-side watersheds on Mount Mansfield. Their results show greater-than-expected water volume from the developed watershed, suggesting that models derived from timber extraction studies may underestimate the hydrologic effects of resort development. This study provides baseline data that may contribute to new stormwater management approaches in mountainside development.

- Simple screening can help decrease teen risk behaviors
04-30-2007 · EurekAlert!
Research shows that adolescents who engage in one form of risky behavior, like drug or alcohol use, are likely to engage in other risky behaviors like self-harm, or having unprotected sex, but often these behaviors are not discussed during a medical or mental health exam. Now, a new study shows that a simple and brief screening measure called the adolescent risk inventory (ARI) can quickly identify the broad range of risk behaviors found among adolescents.

- Study shows interruption of antiretroviral therapy increases risk of disease and death
11-30-2006 · EurekAlert!
Findings from one of the largest HIV/AIDS therapy studies show that a specific strategy of interrupting antiretroviral therapy more than doubles the risk of AIDS or death from any cause. Researchers affiliated with the Mailman School of Public Health led a large multi-center international study, known as Strategies for Management of Anti-Retroviral Therapies, or SMART, comparing two treatment strategies for people with human immunodeficiency virus. Findings demonstrate the value of continuous antiretroviral therapy.

- Regulatory T cells require WASp if they are to prevent self-destruction
01-11-2007 · EurekAlert!
In humans, mutation of the gene encoding a protein known as WASp leads to susceptibility to infections and systemic autoimmunity. Most studies have focused on understanding how WASp deficiency causes defects in T cell activation, but a new study shows that in mice and humans a population of T cells known as regulatory T cells, which prevent other immune cells attacking the body's and causing autoimmunity, are also impaired in the absence of WASp.
