School performance and substance use disorders in early adulthood among non-immigrant and immigrant populations in Sweden
27 September 202527 September 2025
Individuals with immigrant background generally perform less well in school than non-immigrants. Performing well in school may decrease the risk of substance use disorder (SUD).

Iran’s Shared Genetic Heritage as a Foundation for Democracy and Unity
6 April 202515 June 2025
Genetic studies show that Iranians, despite linguistic and regional differences, share a deep ancestral continuity rooted in the Iranian plateau. Language shifts have occurred without major population changes, and all major Iranian groups belong to a shared genetic family. This unity supports a democratic and inclusive national identity, where diversity strengthens rather than divides.

Introduction: Immigrant children are often challenged at school. School performance is an important predictor of future socioeconomic position and mental and physical health.

We aimed to…

We aimed to investigate the school performance gap and its potential trend from 2010 to 2020 in non-immigrant and second-generation immigrant children in Sweden, whether parental mental disorders and low socioeconomic status contribute to this gap and its trends, and whether the effects of these factors differ by immigration status. We used multiple Swedish population…

Healthcare efforts for the “invisible” with opioid problems must improve.
10 January 202513 January 2025
Despite the fact that the majority of those who die from opioid overdoses have been in contact with healthcare, social services, or the justice system, a new analysis shows that a large group – nearly half – lacks significant care connections related to their drug problems. To strengthen preventive efforts against overdoses, a change in…
