Paternal involvement in child-rearing, health anxiety, and the global epidemiology of alcohol use: Most read articles in November

Paternal involvement in early child-rearing, health anxiety and risk of ischaemic heart disease, and the global epidemiology of alcohol use

The Top 10 Most Read list for November contains a number of new entries including papers on the reasons for retraction of articles, and the relationship between earlobe creases and coronary artery disease. At number one this month is a longitudinal study by Reece et al, which looks into the possibility that cannabis-exposed patients may be ageing more quickly. Entering the list at four and five respectively, are Farren et al and Berge et al with studies on the emotional distress in women after early pregnancy loss and the prospective association of health anxiety with ischaemic heart disease. A study on the involvement of fathers in early child-rearing on behaviour and development in their pre-adolescent children by Opondo et al reaches number six, finding that psychological and emotional aspects of paternal involvement in children’s early upbringing, particularly how new fathers see themselves as parents and adjust to the role, is associated with positive outcomes in children. It also received a press release and some attention on social media. Finally, returning at number eight this month, we have a popular article on birth cohort trends in the global epidemiology of alcohol use and alcohol-related harms in men and women by Slade et al, which concludes that the male-female gap in indicators of alcohol use and related harms is closing.
