Abstract
SNAPSHOT USA is a multicontributor, long-term camera trap survey designed to survey mammals across the United States. Participants are recruited through community networks and directly through a website application (https://www.snapshot-usa.org/). The growing Snapshot dataset is useful, for example, for tracking wildlife population responses to land use, land cover, and climate changes across spatial and temporal scales. Here we present the SNAPSHOT USA 2021 dataset, the third national camera trap survey across the US. Data were collected across 109 camera trap arrays and included 1711 camera sites. The total effort equaled 71,519 camera trap nights and resulted in 172,507 sequences of animal observations. Sampling effort varied among camera trap arrays, with a minimum of 126 camera trap nights, a maximum of 3355 nights, a median 546 nights, and a mean 656 ± 431 nights. This third dataset comprises 51 camera trap arrays that were surveyed during 2019, 2020, and 2021, along with 71 camera trap arrays that were surveyed in 2020 and 2021. All raw data and accompanying metadata are stored on Wildlife Insights (https://www.wildlifeinsights.org/), and are publicly available upon acceptance of the data papers. SNAPSHOT USA aims to sample multiple ecoregions in the United States with adequate representation of each ecoregion according to its relative size. Currently, the relative density of camera trap arrays varies by an order of magnitude for the various ecoregions (0.22-5.9 arrays per 100,000 km2), emphasizing the need to increase sampling effort by further recruiting and retaining contributors. There are no copyright restrictions on these data. We request that authors cite this paper when using these data, or a subset of these data, for publication. Any use of trade, firm, or product names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the US Government.

Abstract
From April to June 2019, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (P3(HA)) microbead samples were exposed to an operational wastewater reclamation facility (WWRF) in an aerobic aeration basin in Athens, Georgia. Samples were withdrawn from the facility over a 13-week timeframe, and the particles were examined by Raman microscopy and thermogravimetric analysis/mass spectroscopy (TGA/MS) coupled with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The activated sludge from this facility was also used as an inoculum to examine carbon mineralization under controlled respirometry experiments to corroborate biological degradation rates determined from both the environmental and laboratory approach. Respirometry, Raman microscopy, and TGA/MS-DSC methods all measured similar biodegradation timelines for microbeads bound to an epoxy substrate, indicating that the three methods are temporally comparable and may be used to measure material biological degradation. Samples of epoxy-bound P3(HA) microbeads, free microbeads, the P3(HA) film, and poly(lactic acid) (PLA) film demonstrated carbon mineralization of 90.0, 89.4, 95.0, and 8.15%, respectively, relative to the cellulose positive control. Using a modified Gompertz growth model, the biological degradation rate coefficients (Rm) were determined for cellulose, P3(HA) film, epoxy-bound P3(HA) microbeads, and free P3(HA) microbeads and found to be 31.6, 30.2, 17.5, and 18.7 mL CO2·g-1·day-1, respectively. Moreover, P3(HA) microbeads can efficiently mineralize in WWRF infrastructure at a rate comparable to cellulose.

Abstract
Background Pill testing services could potentially be used to reduce drug-related harm. This study aims to identify patterns of ecstasy use among live music event attendees; explore the opinions and potential usage of illicit pill testing programs and examine factors associated with the likelihood of still taking a pill containing a potential harmful substance. Methods A cross-sectional survey was completed by 760 people attending a major Australian live music event in 2017. Results The most commonly used drug in the last 12 months was ecstasy (73.9%). About 5% of people who use drugs had sought medical attention due to consumption of ecstasy. People who use drugs agreed “a lot” that pill testing should be provided for free at live music events (82.2%) and that it should be combined with harm reduction advice (62.9%). Additionally, 32% of all participants agreed ‘a lot’ that they would be more likely to take illicit drugs at a music festival if pill-testing services were present. However, if people perceived that a harmful substance was detected in their drugs after using a pill testing service, 52.3% of people who have used illicit drugs reported that they would ‘not at all’ be likely to still consume the drug. They also reported that they would still take a pill if testing demonstrated the presence of unintended MDMA-type substances (70.3%), amphetamines (31.2%) or ketamine (27.8%). Multivariate analyses demonstrated that only increased frequency of ecstasy use was significantly associated with taking a pill despite pill testing services detecting a harmful substance. Gender, age, alcohol and previously seeking ecstasy-related medical attention were not associated in the multivariate analyses. Conclusions A high proportion of live music attendees consume alcohol and ecstasy. Both people who have and who have not used illicit drugs support the implementation of pill testing services. People reported they would change their consumption patterns according to the results given by pill testing services. The findings may be used to stimulate public debate, and assist drug and alcohol policy makers in the implementation of harm minimisation strategies such as combining pill testing services with harm reduction advice.

Abstract
The neutron spin rotation (NSR) collaboration used parity-violating spin rotation of transversely polarized neutrons transmitted through a 0.5 m liquid helium target to constrain weak coupling constants between nucleons. While consistent with theoretical expectation, the upper limit set by this measurement on the rotation angle is limited by statistical uncertainties. The NSR collaboration is preparing a new measurement to improve this statistically-limited result by about an order of magnitude. In addition to using the new high-flux NG-C beam at the NIST Center for Neutron Research, the apparatus was upgraded to take advantage of the larger-area and more divergent NG-C beam. Significant improvements are also being made to the cryogenic design. Details of these improvements and readiness of the upgraded apparatus are presented. We also comment on how recent theoretical work combining effective field theory techniques with the 1/Nc expansion of QCD along with previous NN weak measurements can be used to make a prediction for dϕ/dz in 4He.
An experiment using the same apparatus with a room-temperature target was carried out at LANSCE to place limits on parity-conserving rotations from possible fifth-force interactions to complement previous studies. We sought this interaction using a slow neutron polarimeter that passed transversely polarized slow neutrons by unpolarized slabs of material arranged so that this interaction would tilt the plane of polarization and develop a component along the neutron momentum. The results of this measurement and its impact on the neutron-matter coupling gA2 from such an interaction are presented. The NSR collaboration is also preparing a new measurement that uses an upgraded version of the room-temperature target to be run on the NG-C beamline; and it is expected to constrain gA2 by at least two additional orders of magnitude for λc between 1 cm and 1 μm.

Abstract
From July 2015 to November 2016, 96 post-hatchling sea turtles were collected from 118 km of the Atlantic coastline in Florida, USA, including loggerhead, green, and hawksbill sea turtle species. Forty-five of the recovered turtles were rehabilitated and released, but the remaining 52 died and were frozen. At necropsy, the gastrointestinal tracts of most the turtles contained visible plastic, and collected particles of 27 individuals were chemically characterized by Raman microscopy as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, and polystyrene. Mesoparticle plastic fragments 1.0-8.7 mm, microparticle fragments 20-1000 μm, and nanoparticles 5-169 nm were identified in the turtles. Polyethylene and polypropylene were the most common plastics ingested from specimens representing 54.1 and 23.7% of the total observed mesoparticles and 11.7 and 21.0% of the total observed microparticles, respectively. A plastic-to-body mass ratio of 2.07 mg/g was determined for this group. The authors suggest that ingestion of micronizing plastic by post-hatchling sea turtles is likely a substantial risk to survival of these endangered and threatened species. This study also provides some of the first evidence for the formation of nanoscopic plastic particles that we theorize forms in the post-hatchling and juvenile environment and are present post-ingestion.

Abstract
The posterior parietal cortex (PPC) has been implicated in perceptual decisions, but whether its role is specific to sensory processing or sensorimotor transformation is not well understood. Here, we trained mice to perform a go/no-go visual discrimination task and imaged the activity of neurons in primary visual cortex (V1) and PPC during engaged behavior and passive viewing. Unlike V1 neurons, which respond robustly to stimuli in both conditions, most PPC neurons respond exclusively during task engagement. To test whether signals in PPC primarily encoded the stimulus or the animal's impending choice, we image the same neurons before and after re-training mice with a reversed sensorimotor contingency. Unlike V1 neurons, most PPC neurons reflect the animal's choice of the new target stimulus after re-training. Mouse PPC is therefore strongly task-dependent, reflects choice more than stimulus, and may play a role in the transformation of visual inputs into motor commands.

Abstract
Rett syndrome (RTT) is an X-linked, neurodevelopmental disorder caused primarily by mutations in the methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2) gene, which encodes a multifunctional epigenetic regulator with known links to a wide spectrum of neuropsychiatric disorders. Although postnatal functions of MeCP2 have been thoroughly investigated, its role in prenatal brain development remains poorly understood. Given the well-established importance of microRNAs (miRNAs) in neurogenesis, we employed isogenic human RTT patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) and MeCP2 short hairpin RNA knockdown approaches to identify novel MeCP2-regulated miRNAs enriched during early human neuronal development. Focusing on the most dysregulated miRNAs, we found miR-199 and miR-214 to be increased during early brain development and to differentially regulate extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)/mitogen-activated protein kinase and protein kinase B (PKB/AKT) signaling. In parallel, we characterized the effects on human neurogenesis and neuronal differentiation brought about by MeCP2 deficiency using both monolayer and three-dimensional (cerebral organoid) patient-derived and MeCP2-deficient neuronal culture models. Inhibiting miR-199 or miR-214 expression in iPSC-derived neural progenitors deficient in MeCP2 restored AKT and ERK activation, respectively, and ameliorated the observed alterations in neuronal differentiation. Moreover, overexpression of miR-199 or miR-214 in the wild-type mouse embryonic brains was sufficient to disturb neurogenesis and neuronal migration in a similar manner to Mecp2 knockdown. Taken together, our data support a novel miRNA-mediated pathway downstream of MeCP2 that influences neurogenesis via interactions with central molecular hubs linked to autism spectrum disorders.

Abstract
Exposure to adverse rearing environments including institutional deprivation and severe childhood abuse is associated with an increased risk for mental and physical health problems across the lifespan. Although the mechanisms mediating these effects are not known, recent work in rodent models suggests that epigenetic processes may be involved. We studied the impact of severe early-life adversity on epigenetic variation in a sample of adolescents adopted from the severely depriving orphanages of the Romanian communist era in the 1980s. We quantified buccal cell DNA methylation at ~400 000 sites across the genome in Romanian adoptees exposed to either extended (6-43 months; n=16) or limited duration (<6 months; n=17) of severe early-life deprivation, in addition to a matched sample of UK adoptees (n=16) not exposed to severe deprivation. Although no probe-wise differences remained significant after controlling for the number of probes tested, we identified an exposure-associated differentially methylated region (DMR) spanning nine sequential CpG sites in the promoter-regulatory region of the cytochrome P450 2E1 gene (CYP2E1) on chromosome 10 (corrected P=2.98 × 10(-5)). Elevated DNA methylation across this region was also associated with deprivation-related clinical markers of impaired social cognition. Our data suggest that environmental insults of sufficient biological impact during early development are associated with long-lasting epigenetic changes, potentially reflecting a biological mechanism linking the effects of early-life adversity to cognitive and neurobiological phenotypes.

Abstract
As the incidence of metabolic syndrome increases, there is also a growing interest in finding safe and inexpensive treatments to help lower associated risk factors. L-carntine, a natural dietary supplement with the potential to ameliorate atherosclerosis, has been the subject of recent investigation and controversy. A majority of studies have shown benefit of L-C supplementation in the metabolic syndrome or cardiovascular risk factors. However, recent work has suggested that dietary L-C may accelerate atherosclerosis via gut microbiota metabolites, complicating the role of L-C supplementation in health.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: The Athena Breast Health Network is a University of California (UC) initiative to drive rapid innovation in patient-centered prevention, screening, and treatment of breast cancer. Athena is a collaborative of the five UC medical centers and UC Berkeley that integrates clinical care and research, rapidly mobilizing data and research to enable continuous improvement in patient care and outcomes. The first initiative of Athena was to implement risk assessment for women being screened for breast cancer and to offer tailored referrals for women found to be at increased risk of developing breast cancer.
Methods: Patients who enroll in Athena complete an electronic questionnaire to collect personal and family history data prior to their mammography screening visit. These data are used to generate multiple risk assessments using the NCCN and USPSTF guidelines, and BCRAT (Gail model). Data on established breast cancer risk factors such as chest wall radiation and history of hormone replacement therapy are also collected and used to identify women at potentially increased risk. Upon enrollment, women are given the opportunity to provide a blood or saliva sample for research purposes.
Women who meet Athena-defined criteria that identify them to be at increased risk receive a referral to a Breast Health Specialist (BHS). The BHS identifies individual patient needs for prevention and screening services, including genetic counseling and testing, provides referrals to a High Risk Breast Clinic or nurse practitioner, and conducts lifestyle modification counseling. BHS have special training in breast cancer risk assessment, and some are licensed genetic counselors. Primary care and/or referring providers are directly informed of risk assessment results through mailings or the electronic medical record.
Results: The recruitment goal enrollment for Athena is 150,000 and to date more than 17,000 women have been enrolled across the five centers. Of those enrolled, 32% indicated that they have a family history of cancer. 56% of the cohort consented to participate in research, and 40% provided a biospecimen for research purposes. Across the five centers, 32 educational outreach sessions about Athena were held, reaching approximately 375 providers.
Conclusion: Successful implementation of the Athena risk assessment and decision support process will enable the identification of high risk women who are most likely to benefit from tailored screening or risk reducing interventions and who otherwise may not have been referred for risk reducing measures. By identifying women at the highest risk and connecting them to screening and prevention resources, the Athena Breast Health Network aims to ultimately reduce the incidence of breast cancer in its participant cohort.

Abstract
PURPOSE To review our experience performing total laparoscopic hysterectomy since we first introduced this procedure in 1998. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was performed for patients undergoing total laparoscopic hysterectomy at Ochsner Clinic Foundation from February 1998 through December 2002. Rates of complications, successful completion, length of hospital stay, readmission, and reoperation were determined for this period. RESULTS Among 511 patients who underwent attempted total laparoscopic hysterectomy, 487 procedures (95.3%) were completed by laparoscopy. The major intraoperative complication rate was 3.9%, and the major postoperative complication rate was 4.7%. No significant differences were seen in the intraoperative and postoperative complication rates of patients who were morbidly obese (body mass index ≥30 kg/m(2)), patients with enlarged uteri (≥300 g), or patients who underwent concomitant procedures (unilateral or bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and lysis of adhesions). The readmission rate was 4.1%, and the reoperation rate was 2%. None of the variables studied, including age, medical problems, morbid obesity, concomitant procedures, or enlarged uterus, were found to have an association with readmission or reoperation rates. CONCLUSIONS Total laparoscopic hysterectomy can be performed successfully in most patients with benign indications. Morbidity is comparable to that of other types of hysterectomies, and this technique may be a more reasonable approach under some circumstances.

Abstract
The Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36 (SF-36) is a generic measure of health-related quality of life (HRQOL), validated and cross-culturally translated, which has been extensively utilised in rheumatology. In randomised controlled trials and observational studies, SF-36 provides rich data regarding HRQOL; but as typically portrayed, patterns of disease and treatment-associated effects can be difficult to discern. "Spydergrams" offer a simplified means to visualise complex results across all domains of SF-36 in a single figure: depicting disease and population-specific patterns of decrements in HRQOL compared with age and gender-matched normative data, as well as providing a tool for interpreting complex treatment-associated or longitudinal changes. Utilising spydergrams as a standard format to illustrate and report changes in SF-36 across different rheumatic diseases can greatly facilitate analyses and interpretations of clinical trial results, as well as providing patients an accessible means to compare baseline scores and treatment-associated improvements with normative data from individuals without arthritis. Furthermore, SF-6D utility scores based on mean changes across all eight domains of SF-36 are suggested as a quantitative means of summarising changes illustrated by spydergrams, offering a universal metric for cost-effectiveness analyses of therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Experiences at time of breast cancer (BC) diagnosis are associated with patient psychological health several months to years later; however, little investigation of this relationship during initial period following diagnosis has been undertaken.METHODS:This prospective study was designed to characterize the experience of receiving cancer diagnosis in women initiating treatment for BC (Stage 0 to III) and to identify associations between this experience and early psychological adjustment, hopefulness, and satisfaction with medical care. 121 women who recently received BC diagnosis prompting referral to specialty center responded to questionnaires assessing their experiences and coping styles:1. Experience Receiving Breast Cancer Diagnosis (ERBCD), categorizing patient demographic, medical, and psychosocial factors; context factors (location, privacy); clinician factors and behaviors.2. Cancer Diagnostic Interview Scale (CDIS) for perceived psychotherapeutic techniques used by clinican conveying cancer diagnosis.3. Mental Adjustment to Cancer Scale (MAC) for coping styles of fighting spirit, hopelessness/helplessness, anxious preoccupation, fatalism, and avoidance.Subjects completed the Profile of Mood States (POMS), Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and ratings of hopefulness and satisfaction. Multivariate regression analysis was employed with scores from POMS, STAI, hopefulness and satisfaction as dependent variables and values from ERBCD, CDIS and MAC as independent variables.RESULTS:Patients received diagnosis from general physicians, surgeons, radiologists, nurses, NP/PAs, gynecologists, breast specialists, family members, and secretaries. BC diagnosis was disclosed by telephone (59%), face-to-face (40%), letter (1%) and spouse (1%). Mean CDIS-Caring score was 3.4 ± 1.1 and CDIS-Competence was 4.0 ± 0.9 of 5.0. Results of multivariate regression analysis are shown:POMS-Total Mood DisturbanceIndependent VariableParameterSEP ValueAge-0.6600.2760.0183MAC-Fighting Spirit-1.1550.4360.0093MAC-Anxious Preoccupation5.2720.780< 0.001 STAI-State AnxietyIndependent VariableParameterSEP ValueRecent Stress Level0.9420.3710.0127MAC-Fighting Spirit-0.3670.1480.0147MAC-Anxious Preoccupation1.9740.271<0.0001MAC-Avoidant4.4671.4950.0036 Satisfaction was predicted by CDIS-Caring, individual conveying diagnosis, type of information helpful, feeling concerns were understood.CONCLUSIONS:Experiences receiving BC diagnosis are variable and associated with hopefulness and satisfaction. Age, recent stress level and predominant coping style appear more predictive of psychological adjustment (POMS, STAI) than experience receiving BC diagnosis. Understanding these relationships provides direction for future research and clinical interventions to identify patients at risk for early mood disturbance and anxiety following BC diagnosis and to modify aspects of conveying BC diagnosis that influence hopefulness and satisfaction with medical care.HopefulnessIndependent VariableParameterSEP ValueCDIS-Caring0.4270.088<0.0001Diagnosis by Telephone0.3810.1770.0338Opportunity to Ask Questions0.4440.2270.0535Recent Stress Level-0.0820.0290.0057MAC-Fighting Spirit0.0430.0120.0005MAC-Anxious Preoccupation-0.0610.0230.0098

Abstract #1101
Background: BRCA is a unique breast cancer biomarker; it defines risk not only for an individual, but also for a family. Little is known about sharing BRCA results with relatives. This study aims to determine which relatives are told of BRCA results and which relatives pursue BRCA testing. This study also explores whether patient and relative characteristics can account for differences in sharing BRCA results and BRCA testing of relatives.
 Methods: As part of the UCSF Cancer Risk Program Cohort, all women who receive genetic counseling and BRCA testing at the UCSF/Mt. Zion Comprehensive Cancer Center (CCC) and at San Francisco General Hospital (SFGH) are sent a survey regarding their health habits and their genetic testing experience. Women surveyed are asked: whether they have shared BRCA results; if so, with whom; and whether other family members have pursued BRCA testing. Patient-level variables examined include: cancer status, hospital site, and BRCA results. Relative-level variables examined include: gender and degree of relationship (first- or second-degree).
 Results: Over 80% of women surveyed have responded to date (n = 151). Overall, 95% report sharing BRCA results with at least one relative, and 41% indicate that other relatives have received BRCA testing. Tables 1 and 2 show rates of telling relatives and of BRCA testing in relatives based on patient and relative characteristics. Although the proportion of BRCA carriers is similar at both sites (22% at the CCC and 20% at SFGH), relatives of SFGH patients are significantly less likely to pursue BRCA testing (p=0.001).
 
 
 
 Conclusions: After BRCA testing, women are less likely to share results with male and second-degree relatives. The proportion of BRCA carriers is similar at SFGH and at the CCC. Rates of telling relatives of BRCA results are also similar at both sites. A large and significant disparity exists, however, in BRCA testing of relatives of women from SFGH (8% from SFGH vs. 47% from the CCC, p = 0.001). Future research will examine the reasons for low uptake of BRCA testing in this population, barriers to BRCA testing, and potential interventions.

Abstract #2101
Introduction: In underserved, lower literacy and multiethnic women at risk of Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (HBOC), there is a need for culturally appropriate educational tools. The purpose of this Phase I study is to evaluate the use of a Cancer Risk Educational Intervention Tool (CREdIT) as an adjunct to genetic counseling for HBOC for underserved women at San Francisco General Hospital (SFGH).
 Methods: CREdIT is a 15 minute audio-visual powerpoint story presentation (available in English and Spanish) which employs non-scientific images and language specifically designed for use by our target population. Participant questionnaires, administered before and after the intervention, evaluate patient satisfaction, risk perception, knowledge of cancer genetics, and anxiety. Genetic counselor questionnaires address counselor satisfaction and time-flow.
 Results: To date, we have recruited 23 women of diverse backgrounds (mean age of 46, range: 26 to 63). Of these, seven (30%) are first-generation immigrants and four (17%) have less than a high school diploma. Eight (35%) have had cancer, and eighteen (78%) reported that cancer runs in their families. We have found an increase in knowledge following the CREdIT presentation, specifically vis-à-vis BRCA inheritance, BRCA-associated cancer risk, and risk-reducing options (all p < 0.05). These improvements occur without an increase in patient anxiety (p > 0.05). All participants believed that the presentation helped them learn more about cancer risk, and genetic counselors reported increased patient preparedness and counselor satisfaction as a result of CREdIT use (p < 0.05). Mean genetic counselor consultation time decreased by 5.5 minutes after CREdIT use.
 Conclusions: CREdIT appears to increase knowledge and improve understanding of BRCA-associated risks without raising anxiety in underserved women at risk of HBOC. Genetic counselors report increased satisfaction and patient preparedness, and decreased counseling time with CREdIT. Future work will involve examining long-term outcomes of CREdIT use; subgroup analyses to identify patient populations most likely to benefit from CREdIT; further evaluation using clinical trial methodology; and strategies for its dissemination to other settings working with underserved, multiethnic populations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine if an enlarged uterus is associated with an increased rate of intraoperative and postoperative complications and prolonged hospital length of stay (LOS) after benign total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH) or total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH). STUDY DESIGN Women who underwent TAH or TLH were stratified, according to uterine weight, into 3 groups: group 1, uterine weight < 200 g; group 2, 201-500 g; and group 3, > 500 g. Indications included uterine leiomyomas, chronic pelvic pain, prolapsed uterus, endometriosis and adenomyosis, dysfunctional uterine bleeding; all had benign final pathology. Statistical analysis compared risks of intraoperative and postoperative morbidity and prolonged hospital stay. RESULTS Prolonged hospital stay risk increased for uterine weight > 500 g (p < or = 0.001). There was a significant association between postoperative complications and uterine size (p < or = 0.001). Mean estimated blood loss (EBL) also increased with uterine weight > 500 g (p < or = 0.001). TLH was associated with fewer postoperative complications, shorter LOS and reduced EBL (p < or = 0.001). CONCLUSION Average LOS and risk of blood loss, blood transfusion and other postoperative complications after hysterectomy for benign disease increased with increasing uterine weight. TLH is an excellent alternative for enlarged uteri; it was strongly associated with decreased morbidity, shorter LOS, and reduced EBL and blood transfusion rate in all uterine weight groups when adjusted for other variables.

Abstract
CONCLUSION Two questionnaires were used to assess quality of life (QOL) in allergic rhinitis: the Japanese translation of the Rhino-conjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (RQLQJ) and an original Japanese QOL questionnaire (JRQLQ). Either questionnaire may be used to assess QOL depending on differences in target domains. OBJECTIVES Although pollinosis is a common disease which has a major impact on patient QOL, no internationally standardized questionnaire has been available in Japan until now. The aim of this study was to compare two currently available QOL questionnaires for allergic rhinitis in Japan-the RQLQJ and JRQLQ-in terms of their appropriateness for clinical use and their psychometric properties. MATERIAL AND METHODS A multicenter, inter-group, cross-sectional study was conducted in 187 adult symptomatic patients with Japanese cedar pollinosis in 2003. Patient scores on the two questionnaires were compared in terms of both overall and comparable domains. We also examined the acceptability, construct and reliability of both questionnaires. RESULTS The questionnaires were highly correlated in terms of both overall and comparable domain scores. In addition, both questionnaires had equal and satisfactory psychometric validity, demonstrating that they are both useful tools for assessing QOL in rhinitis. However, when compared with each other, the JRQLQ focuses mainly on activities of daily life and is simpler, while the RQLQJ focuses mainly on rhinitis-related health and is more responsive.
