Andrew F. Simon1, Erin Schwartz2
1Seton Hall University, United States of America; 2Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
Burnout among radiologists is related to advances in technology without corresponding adaptations to how technology is being implemented. The ease of electronically producing radiological scans has burdened many radiologists with excessive workplace demands. Solutions are found in settings where technology has been successfully modified to improve working conditions.

Karina Villalba, Robert Cook, Irma Barron, Jessy Devieux
Ms, United States of America
We assess the associations between trait anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and alcohol use among women with a history of childhood abuse. Results showed that women who reported high anxiety levels also reported high levels of emotional dysregulation, which in turn, was associated with a higher risk for alcohol abuse.
