Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In many ways, the internet seems made for teenagers. It allows them to shop, chat to their friends, catch up on the latest pop, sport, and fashion gossip, research their school or college essays, go job hunting, and indulge any slightly dodgy fringe interests without having to leave their bedroom. Any curfew obsessed home secretary must be delighted. A wealth of information abounds about teenagers' health needs, with hundreds of excellent sites offering advice on acne, drugs, alcohol, sex, pregnancy, eating disorders, and other mental health issues. PatientUK (patients.co.uk) provides links to some of the best UK based sites, such as Mind, Body & Soul (www.mindbodysoul.gov.uk/), LifeBytes (www.lifebytes.gov.uk/index_flash.html), and Doctor Ann's Virtual Surgery (www.doctorann.org/). All these sites recognise the need to address eating disorders, the subject of two reports in this week's BMJ (p 1002). What is surprising is how little information there is on the web about the special needs of teenagers in hospital. A paper in this week's BMJ (p 957) indicates that the use of hospital beds increases rather than decreases through adolescence. Yet there are few dedicated wards for adolescents, who tend to be placed either in adult wards or in children's units, along with Mickey Mouse murals, dolls' houses, and teddy. It seems that someone might have developed a forum for such teenagers, a place where they could exchange information about such things as treatments, visiting hours, and the effects on schoolwork of long hospital stays. “Teens Together” (www.candlelighters.net/newsletter/current/page6.html) is a Canadian based teen programme designed to promote communication and interaction between teenagers affected with cancer. But there seems to be no general site, or if there is it's a well kept secret. However, some organisations concerned with children's health, such as Action for Sick Children, have useful sections on their websites about teenagers in hospital (www.actionforsickchildren.org/teenagers.html) that may help to answer the questions of parents, general practitioners, and even teenagers themselves.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
