This study investigated whether longitudinal predictions of stability are improved when assessments of the relationship are obtained from both members of the couple rather than just from 1 partner and, if so, which partner's assessments are the most diagnostic of stability. Both partners in 120 dating couples provided self-report assessments on 16 relationship dimensions, and 6 months later 2 outcomes were examined: stability and emotional distress if breakup had occurred. Assessments from both partners were more predictive of stability than were assessments from 1 (randomly chosen) partner, but the improvement was small. Assessments from female partners were no more predictive of stability than were those from male partners. However, assessments from "weak-link" partners (whose standing on stability indicators was lower than the other member of the couple) were significantly more diagnostic of stability than were those from "strong-link" partners. These and other findings are discussed.

This synthesis-based analysis identifies and reviews studies evaluating vocational resources for adults with autism spectrum disorder. It is based on a larger systematic review of intervention studies in autism spectrum disorder, from which a critical interpretive synthesis was conducted on studies related to vocation and autism spectrum disorder. In total, 10 studies were found that examine employment support for youth and adults with autism spectrum disorder. Two domains of vocational intervention in the literature were found: supported employment including community placement and job coaching and media and technology-based augmentative tools. The literature is limited in volume and quality of methodology, yet emerging constructs are promising in introducing the utility of vocational resources, in particular, supported employment in community settings. These vocational approaches are examined, along with representative studies. Recommendations for advancing practice, community capacity, and research are offered.

This study explored how experiencing a traumatic event in the workplace affects employee physical health, mental health, personal functioning, and work performance. Post-event use of health care services and the effectiveness of critical incident stress debriefing sessions and other coping interventions were also examined. A retrospective self-report methodology and mailed survey were used with 141 employees of 42 different bank branches that had recently been robbed. The results found that most employees had multiple negative consequences from experiencing a bank robbery while at work. Psychological, physical, work, and personal areas were all affected by the robbery. Furthermore, more threatening incidents were associated with more severe consequences. Critical incident stress debriefing interventions delivered after robbery were rated as helpful by 78% of employees who attended. The implications for health care providers and organizations are discussed.

productivity loss, requiring an integrated care approach. Unfortunately, these conditions are often addressed in silos, in the health system, in business, and in the community. Because mental health and MSK health are often comorbid conditions, they require coordinated care and workplace health promotion managers must develop a comprehensive view of the epidemiological situation, identify appropriate potential stakeholders, and formulate a strategic approach. Conclusion The GBD highlights the need for policies, strategies, and health promotion programs to take an integrated care approach. It also demonstrates the importance of understanding the epidemiology of each culture and country to develop the most effective strategies and achieve desired results. Integrating workplace health promotion initiatives with the UN SDG also affords a good opportunity to connect workplace health promotion with an organization's sustainability and social capital development initiatives.
