Rostain, chairman of the department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health at Cooper University Health Care, suggests that people with ADHD may have a deficit in dopamine and norepinephrine chemicals, which can be balanced by stimulants. When medication is effective, it allows individuals to experience a dopamine impact in the prefrontal cortex, enabling them to focus for longer periods. However, high doses of ADHD medications can cause psychosis. Rostain advocates for parents' involvement in teaching positive reinforcement, organizational skills, and executive functioning skills to help adults with ADHD, as the disorder can persist into adulthood.

The study, led by University of Toronto sociologist Akwasi Owusu-Bempah, revealed that COVID decarceration disproportionately benefited non-Indigenous white people, exacerbating existing health inequities. Researchers concluded that targeted strategies are needed to foster equitable health and justice outcomes, particularly for Indigenous and Black individuals who are overrepresented in Canadian correctional facilities. The study's findings highlight the need for policies and procedures to address systemic and structural inequities in policing, courts, and corrections, which may contribute to disparities in decarceration.

Research by Dr. Susan M. Johnson, a dance medicine specialist at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, found that free-form dance can improve flexibility and balance in older adults. For example, a study on the effects of contemporary dance on seniors in New York City's senior centers showed significant improvements in physical function and mental well-being.
