An Integrative Proposal in Addiction and Health Behaviors Psychosocial Research: Overview of New Trends and Future Orientations
The field of addiction and health behaviors is a multifaceted area of psychosocial research that integrates insights from psychology, public health, neuroscience, and social sciences. This domain explores the complex interplay between individual psychological processes, social environments, and biological factors in developing, maintaining, and treating addictive behaviors and related health outcomes. Recent trends in this area emphasize a holistic approach, considering not only the addictive behaviors themselves but also associated health behaviors, such as physical activity, diet, and sleep patterns, which can significantly influence recovery and overall well-being. Integrating technology, including digital health interventions and data analytics, has opened new avenues for personalized and accessible treatment options. Future orientations may focus on enhancing interdisciplinary collaboration, developing culturally sensitive interventions, and harnessing technological advances to improve prevention strategies, therapeutic interventions, and policy-making in addiction and health behaviors research.
Women in Psychiatry 2023: ADHD
At present, fewer than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging girls and women away from science-related fields, and STEM research in particular. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. In order to change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers. Therefore, Frontiers in Psychiatry is proud to offer this platform to promote the work of women scientists, across all fields of Psychiatry. The work presented here highlights the diversity of research performed across the entire breadth of Psychiatry research and presents advances in theory, experiment, and methodology with applications to compelling problems. Please note: To be considered for this collection, the first or last author should be a researcher who identifies as a woman.

Theory of Mental Tests
This classic volume outlines, for both students and professionals, the mathematical theories and equations that are necessary for evaluating a test and for quantifying its characteristics. The author utilizes formulas that evaluate both the reliability and the validity of tests. He also provides the means for evaluating the reliability and validity of total test scores and individual item analysis. The work remains one of the only books on classical test theory to discuss applications, "true score" theory, the effect of test length on reliability and validity, and the effects of univariate and multivariate selection on validity.
