“…Due to poor recognition of ID in prison, the increased risk of suicide in this population is not appreciated, although research suggests that they are at least as vulnerable and maybe at even greater risk of suicide ideation when compared with the general population (Salvatore et al 2016). People with ID are more likely to have an increased suicide risk (Giannini et al 2010). However, it is difficult to get a consensus on rates of suicide mortality.…”

“…Living with SCI presents a number of physical and emotional challenges, from adjusting one’s activities due to health and functional constraints to facing potential societal stigma. Rates of emotional disorders among people with SCI are twice that of non-injured adults (Migliorini, Tonge, & Taleporos, 2008) and rates of suicide significantly higher (for review, see Giannini et al, 2010). In contrast, levels of subjective well-being (Fuhrer, 1996) and life satisfaction are significantly lower (Kemp & Krause, 1999) in this population.…”

The current study examined whether commonly observed age differences in affective experience among community samples of healthy adults would generalize to a group of adults who live with significant functional disability. Age differences in daily affect and affective reactivity to daily stressors among a sample of participants with spinal cord injury were compared to a non-injured sample. Results revealed that patterns of affective experience varied by sample. Among non-injured adults, older age was associated with lower levels of daily negative affect (NA), higher levels of daily positive affect (PA), and less negative affective reactivity in response to daily stressors. In contrast, among participants with spinal cord injury, no age differences emerged. Findings, which support the model of Strength and Vulnerability Integration (SAVI), underscore the importance of taking life context into account when predicting age differences in affective well-being.

Original Article Abstract Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most widespread disabling neurological condition in young adults around the world. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of explicit information (EI) on motor-sequence learning in MS patients.Methods: Thirty patients with relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS), age: 29.5 (SD = 5.6) years and 30 healthy gender-, age-, and education-matched control group participants, age: 28.8 (SD = 6.0) years, were recruited for this study. The participants in the healthy group were then randomly assigned into an EI (n = 15) group and a no-EI (n = 15) group. Similarly, the participants in the control group were then randomly assigned into EI (n = 15) and no-EI (n = 15) groups. The participants performed a serial reaction time (SRT) task and reaction times. A retention test was performed after 48 hours.Results: All participants reduced their reaction times across acquisition (MS group: 46.4 (SD = 3.3) minutes, P < 0.001, and healthy group: 39.4 (SD = 3.3) minutes, P < 0.001). The findings for the within-participants effect of repeated measures of time were significant (F (5.06,
