COVID-19 did not appear to produce a lasting change in the prevalence of psychological distress, but it did change the way people manage their mental health and access mental health care.
This Review supports SDG 3 by examining the effects of parental leave (ie, maternity, paternity, or family leave; protected leave of absence from work following birth of a baby to care for the baby) on postpartum mental health. The study found that parental leave can be protective against poorer mental health - particularly paid leave of at least 2-3 months in mothers. More generous parental leave was associated with better outcomes.
Community supervision is an opportunity for convicted prisoners to receive treatment for substance abuse and psychiatric disorders and thus prevent avoidable deaths.
This chapter advances Goals 5 and 10 by discussing the role physicians can play in improving clinical trial enrollment and retention among underrepresented groups.
This Article supports SDGs 3, 5 and 9 by outlining how, in the current legal landscape, to reduce the collection and documentation of reproductive health information in nuclear medicine in light of the SCOTUS decision on Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Organization that overturned a 49-year-old federal recognition of abortion rights.
This Personal View supports SDGs 3 and 13 by assessing how to integrate carbon emissions into health technology assessments and discusses how international effort will be required to ensure that the carbon footprints of commonly used health-care products are freely available.
This Article supports SDGs 3 and 13 by comparing the costs of implementing climate change mitigation policies with the economic benefits of avoiding heat-related labour productivity loss through climate change mitagation. The authors find that a substantial proportion (51.8%) of the costs of climate change mitigation would be offset by the economic benefits gained from avoiding labour productivity losses. There were geographical variation, with the benefits exceeding the costs in southeast Asia, Brazil, and Mexico.
This paper supports SDG 3 by highlighting that, in order to meet the needs of ageing populations, health systems need to improve health-care access and quality for working-age adults and older populations while continuing to realise gains among younger populations.

This article ties to SDG 3. This review highlights evidence that Maternal Separation (MS) interferes with neural development to permanently alter bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) circuitry, which may account for a variety of behavioral deficits seen following early life stress.
