Summary
Preventing violent extremism (PVE) requires resilience strategies. Group approaches, from family to education, are more effective than individual actions for PVE worldwide.
Area of Science:
- Social Sciences
- Psychology
- Criminology
Background:
- Escalating violent extremism (VE) attacks globally, particularly in educational settings, necessitate effective prevention strategies.
- A significant body of research exists on preventing violent extremism (PVE), but it is extensive and lacks organization.
- Identifying common themes and strategies across disciplines is crucial for developing global PVE frameworks.
Approach:
- A systematic literature review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines.
- 81 articles were screened in January 2022, starting with titles and abstracts, then full articles.
- The review focused on identifying themes and strategies for preventing violent extremism.
Key Points:
- Seventeen studies involving 2415 young adults (16-29 years) were analyzed.
- Internet, TV, and social media were identified as key influences on violent extremism pursuits.
- Group-based approaches (family, educational institutions) are more effective for PVE than individual actions.
Conclusions:
- Developing resilient individuals and fostering social-ecological dialogue are key to effective PVE.
- Practical actions informed by a social-ecological perspective can reduce violent extremism activities.
- Resilience approaches offer a promising framework for global PVE strategies.

Group polarization is the strengthening of an original group attitude following the discussion of views within a group (Teger & Pruitt, 1967). That is, if a group initially favors a viewpoint, after discussion the group consensus is likely a stronger endorsement of the viewpoint. Conversely, if the group was initially opposed to a viewpoint, group discussion would likely lead to stronger opposition.

Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.

01:29Bias in Epidemiological Studies
534
Biases can arise at various stages of research, from study design and data collection to analysis and interpretation. Recognizing and addressing these biases is essential to ensure the validity and reliability of epidemiological findings.Broadly speaking, biases in epidemiology fall into three main categories: selection bias, information bias, and confounding. A more detailed description of possible biases is:

Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

01:20Study Designs in Epidemiology
364
Epidemiological study designs are fundamental tools for investigating the distribution, determinants, and control of health conditions in populations. They help researchers understand the relationships between exposures and outcomes, and they broadly fall into two categories: "observational" and "experimental" studies.
Observational studies are those where the researcher does not intervene but rather observes natural variations. They include cross-sectional, cohort, and...

01:11Guidelines for Writing Outcome
2.9K
When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...
