This paper explores use-related and socio-demographic variations in the valuation of urban green space (UGS) characteristics in the Brussels Capital Region (BCR), lending insights into the valuation of the cultural ecosystem services provided by UGS. Mismatches in the supply of and demand for UGS characteristics are also identified. Knowledge on the ways in which valuation of UGS characteristics vary and on an inadequate supply of UGS characteristics should guide and inspire planning and management of UGS to ensure that UGS provision meets the unique needs of communities. Online surveys were conducted in the BCR to determine how people use UGS, how they experience these spaces, and whether these spaces fulfil their needs for urban green Our findings indicate that socio-demographic characteristics (namely age and household composition) correspond with distinct patterns of use and valuation. Two subgroupings of users are identified: nature-oriented users and social users. Our accessibility analysis shows that, compared to social users, nature-oriented users tend to travel farther to reach their most frequently used UGS but are more often satisfied with the supply of UGS characteristics. Our findings point to an inadequate supply of nature and overcrowding of UGS in the city centre of Brussels. We recommend that planners not only consider size and distance in UGS standards but also consider the demand for UGS characteristics as well.

Abstract Introduction Studies largely focus on nicotine-containing e-cigarettes (NiCE) though non-nicotine-containing e-cigarettes (NoCE) exist; NoCE prevalence and patterns of use are largely unknown. This study examines self-reported prevalence and patterns of NiCE/NoCE use. Methods We analyzed adult (18+ years) data from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) study from Wave 1 (2013–2014, n = 32,320), Wave 2 (2014–2015, n = 28,632), and Wave 3 (2015–2016, n = 28,148). We test associations between Wave 1 self-reported current NoCE/NiCE use status and demographic characteristics and assess the proportion of self-reported current NoCE/NiCE users at Wave 1 or Wave 2 who continue to use NoCE or NiCE, switch to NiCE or NoCE, discontinue e-cigarette use, switch to use other nicotine products (ONP), or add ONP use 1 year later (i.e., at Wave 2 or 3). Results Maintaining the same self-reported NiCE/NoCE and ONP use status 1 year later was the most common use pattern between waves. However, 15.65% of exclusive NoCE users in Wave 2 transitioned to NoCE plus nicotine product use in Wave 3. Also, some exclusive NoCE users transitioned to exclusive NiCE use (17.77% Waves 1–2; 11.55% Waves 2–3). Discussion Some exclusive NoCE users transitioned to NiCE or added nicotine product use, suggesting there may be other factors (e.g., familiarity with using an aerosolizing device) in addition to the presence of nicotine in influencing initiation or sustained use of nicotine products. Implications Studies largely focus on nicotine-containing e-cigarettes (NiCE) though non-nicotine-containing e-cigarettes (NoCE) exist; this study adds to the literature by describing demographic characteristics and tobacco use of adult self-reported NoCE users. In addition, the study examines transitions in self-reported NoCE/NiCE use, revealing that some exclusive NoCE users transition to other nicotine product use 1 year later.

Background: In order to better understand the posttraining suicide prevention behavior of gatekeeper trainees, the present article examines the referral and service receipt patterns among gatekeeper-identified youths. Methods: Data for this study were drawn from 26 Garrett Lee Smith grantees funded between October 2005 and October 2009 who submitted data about the number, characteristics, and service access of identified youths. Results: The demographic characteristics of identified youths are not related to referral type or receipt. Furthermore, referral setting does not seem to be predictive of the type of referral. Demographic as well as other (nonrisk) characteristics of the youths are not key variables in determining identification or service receipt. Limitations: These data are not necessarily representative of all youths identified by gatekeepers represented in the dataset. The prevalence of risk among all members of the communities from which these data are drawn is unknown. Furthermore, these data likely disproportionately represent gatekeepers associated with systems that effectively track gatekeepers and youths. Conclusions: Gatekeepers appear to be identifying youth across settings, and those youths are being referred for services without regard for race and gender or the settings in which they are identified. Furthermore, youths that may be at highest risk may be more likely to receive those services.

The Relationship

Abstract. Recently, Garfinkel and Critchley (2013) proposed to distinguish between three facets of interoception: interoceptive sensibility, interoceptive accuracy, and interoceptive awareness. This pilot study investigated how these facets interrelate to each other and whether interoceptive awareness is related to the metacognitive awareness of memory performance. A sample of 24 healthy students completed a heartbeat perception task (HPT) and a memory task. Judgments of confidence were requested for each task. Participants filled in questionnaires assessing interoceptive sensibility, depression, anxiety, and socio-demographic characteristics. The three facets of interoception were found to be uncorrelated and interoceptive awareness was not related to metacognitive awareness of memory performance. Whereas memory performance was significantly related to metamemory awareness, interoceptive accuracy (HPT) and interoceptive awareness were not correlated. Results suggest that future research on interoception should assess all facets of interoception in order to capture the multifaceted quality of the construct.
