"content": "\u003cp>It became clear in the last election that a stark division existed between urban and rural areas. In places such as north Idaho, people with similar political stripes have begun seeking each other out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Adrien Koch retired last summer from her job with FEMA in the Bay Area, she and her husband resettled in the wooded mountains of north Idaho. They had visited only a few months before on a vacation but had quickly fallen in love. For Koch, Idaho reminded her of the California she knew in the 1970s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's kind of like a better time that's gone by,\" Koch says. \"It's a much slower pace, [and] people are more down to earth here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Koch is 62, with graying blond hair. She's sitting on the couch in her spartan living room. The house she bought in this quiet cul-de-sac is twice as big and half as expensive as the one she sold in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that's only one of the reasons why she left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/512875545/515138553\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I did not feel safe because of the crime that has escalated and the element that has moved out of San Francisco,\" she says. \"So the farther out you go, yes, it's less expensive, but it's also more dangerous.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Koch instantly felt at home in small-town Idaho. She says there are a lot of like-minded Christians. And as she's gotten older, to her surprise, she's become more conservative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I've always been fearful of guns,\" Koch says. \"However, I am open now to learning, and the gun stores and gun clubs here in Coeur d' Alene are very warm and welcoming.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">If you’re a conservative and you move up to Idaho from California, your vote has nearly twice as much impact.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Koch was also struck by just how many ex-pat Californians are here. They are everywhere: the gun shop owners, the retirees at the golf resorts. They hold seats on school boards and in local government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I immediately tell people, especially if they're not from California, I am not one of those people who want to change Idaho,\" Koch says. \"I love it the way it is, that's why we're here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While it's long been a popular sport among longtime locals of the Mountain West to complain about the \"California-zation\" of states like Idaho, the fact is there has been a considerable demographic shift playing out in this region since the early 1990s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was around the time of the deadly earthquakes in California. There was a lot of racial tension after the Rodney King beating. Housing costs had already been soaring, and the outmigration of Californians moving to nearby states such as Idaho really picked up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, northern Idaho counties like Kootenai have seen their population double. Even as late as 2015, the census shows that more than a quarter of all new residents moving to the state still came from California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11316896\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11316896\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/coeurd-alene-idaho-21_custom-acd24d25b651400fc477a05ded5597d086c125e1-800x599.jpg\" alt=\"Adrien Koch, 62, sits in the bedroom of her northern Idaho home, which is twice as big and half as expensive as the one she sold in California.\" width=\"800\" height=\"599\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/coeurd-alene-idaho-21_custom-acd24d25b651400fc477a05ded5597d086c125e1-800x599.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/coeurd-alene-idaho-21_custom-acd24d25b651400fc477a05ded5597d086c125e1-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/coeurd-alene-idaho-21_custom-acd24d25b651400fc477a05ded5597d086c125e1-1020x764.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/coeurd-alene-idaho-21_custom-acd24d25b651400fc477a05ded5597d086c125e1-1920x1439.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/coeurd-alene-idaho-21_custom-acd24d25b651400fc477a05ded5597d086c125e1-1180x884.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/coeurd-alene-idaho-21_custom-acd24d25b651400fc477a05ded5597d086c125e1-960x719.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/coeurd-alene-idaho-21_custom-acd24d25b651400fc477a05ded5597d086c125e1-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/coeurd-alene-idaho-21_custom-acd24d25b651400fc477a05ded5597d086c125e1-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/coeurd-alene-idaho-21_custom-acd24d25b651400fc477a05ded5597d086c125e1-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Adrien Koch, 62, sits in the bedroom of her northern Idaho home, which is twice as big and half as expensive as the one she sold in California. \u003ccite>(Kirk Siegler/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The idea that like-minded people like to live together and in some cases are seeking one another out is being put in renewed focus in the wake of the divisive 2016 presidential election. This is regardless of whether it's in the more conservative rural areas or liberal cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/11/14/501737150/rural-voters-played-a-big-part-in-helping-trump-defeat-clinton\">rural vote\u003c/a> in the Electoral College played a key role in the surprise election of Donald Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Electoral College is weighted disproportionately to rural, now mostly red states like Idaho. So if you're a conservative and you move up to Idaho from California, your vote has nearly twice as much impact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is not lost on people like C.J. Buck, who picked up and moved his entire business — Buck Knives — from Southern California a few years back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Buck says his family manufacturing business — they make hunting knives mostly — decided to leave the Golden State because business costs (primarily taxes and workers' comp premiums) were getting too high. And they didn't have to be there, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In Southern California, businesses are almost treated as necessary evils,\" Buck says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Buck entertained an enticing tax incentive package from Portland, Oregon, but they settled on Idaho.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'No question the white flight is to flee from a multiracial situation into one in which everybody looks the same.'\u003ccite>Mary Lou Reed, former Idaho state legislator\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"We looked at Idaho as not having a major metropolitan area, [and] that would mean as a state we would stay truer to those rural understandings,\" Buck says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What he means is that there isn't a major city like Portland or Los Angeles that would swing Idaho's politics to the left. Especially when it comes to minimum wage increases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The beauty of Idaho is, you just never lose connection. It's the people who need the jobs who are the ones voting on the issues,\" Buck says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Business owners like Buck are hoping to rebuild a manufacturing economy in the region. Since the late 1980s, north Idaho has transitioned from a mostly natural resources-based economy to one that's much more dependent on services, like health care, real estate and tourism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The economy has changed enormously,\" says Mary Lou Reed, a Democrat, who represented Coeur d' Alene in the state legislature until 1994.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reed also moved here from California, albeit in 1956. She recalls how north Idaho was once the country's top silver producer and union Democrats once ruled up until the late 1980s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The lumber mills are all gone, the mines are shuttered down, we do not have labor unions that are active,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, Kootenai County doesn't have a single Democrat in an elected office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Reed, there's one thing that no one talks about, out in the open at least, with all these demographic changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're very, very white up here,\" she says. Kootenai County is 95 percent white, according to the most recent census, compared with much of California today, where whites are in the minority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She insists race plays a factor in some people's decisions to move up here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No question the white flight is to flee from a multiracial situation into one in which everybody looks the same,\" she says. \"It's very dull.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is definitely an uncomfortable subject. Some of the transplants didn't want to talk about race as a reason for moving.

They had visited only a few months before on a vacation but had quickly fallen in love. For Koch, Idaho reminded her of the California she knew in the 1970s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's kind of like a better time that's gone by,\" Koch says. \"It's a much slower pace, [and] people are more down to earth here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Koch is 62, with graying blond hair. She's sitting on the couch in her spartan living room. The house she bought in this quiet cul-de-sac is twice as big and half as expensive as the one she sold in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that's only one of the reasons why she left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She says there are a lot of like-minded Christians. And as she's gotten older, to her surprise, she's become more conservative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I've always been fearful of guns,\" Koch says. \"However, I am open now to learning, and the gun stores and gun clubs here in Coeur d' Alene are very warm and welcoming.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">If you’re a conservative and you move up to Idaho from California, your vote has nearly twice as much impact.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Koch was also struck by just how many ex-pat Californians are here.

There was a lot of racial tension after the Rodney King beating. Housing costs had already been soaring, and the outmigration of Californians moving to nearby states such as Idaho really picked up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, northern Idaho counties like Kootenai have seen their population double. Even as late as 2015, the census shows that more than a quarter of all new residents moving to the state still came from California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11316896\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11316896\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/coeurd-alene-idaho-21_custom-acd24d25b651400fc477a05ded5597d086c125e1-800x599.jpg\" alt=\"Adrien Koch, 62, sits in the bedroom of her northern Idaho home, which is twice as big and half as expensive as the one she sold in California.\" width=\"800\" height=\"599\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/coeurd-alene-idaho-21_custom-acd24d25b651400fc477a05ded5597d086c125e1-800x599.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/coeurd-alene-idaho-21_custom-acd24d25b651400fc477a05ded5597d086c125e1-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/coeurd-alene-idaho-21_custom-acd24d25b651400fc477a05ded5597d086c125e1-1020x764.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/coeurd-alene-idaho-21_custom-acd24d25b651400fc477a05ded5597d086c125e1-1920x1439.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/coeurd-alene-idaho-21_custom-acd24d25b651400fc477a05ded5597d086c125e1-1180x884.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/coeurd-alene-idaho-21_custom-acd24d25b651400fc477a05ded5597d086c125e1-960x719.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/coeurd-alene-idaho-21_custom-acd24d25b651400fc477a05ded5597d086c125e1-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/coeurd-alene-idaho-21_custom-acd24d25b651400fc477a05ded5597d086c125e1-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/02/coeurd-alene-idaho-21_custom-acd24d25b651400fc477a05ded5597d086c125e1-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Adrien Koch, 62, sits in the bedroom of her northern Idaho home, which is twice as big and half as expensive as the one she sold in California. \u003ccite>(Kirk Siegler/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The idea that like-minded people like to live together and in some cases are seeking one another out is being put in renewed focus in the wake of the divisive 2016 presidential election. This is regardless of whether it's in the more conservative rural areas or liberal cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/11/14/501737150/rural-voters-played-a-big-part-in-helping-trump-defeat-clinton\">rural vote\u003c/a> in the Electoral College played a key role in the surprise election of Donald Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Electoral College is weighted disproportionately to rural, now mostly red states like Idaho. So if you're a conservative and you move up to Idaho from California, your vote has nearly twice as much impact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is not lost on people like C.J. Buck, who picked up and moved his entire business — Buck Knives — from Southern California a few years back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Buck says his family manufacturing business — they make hunting knives mostly — decided to leave the Golden State because business costs (primarily taxes and workers' comp premiums) were getting too high. And they didn't have to be there, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In Southern California, businesses are almost treated as necessary evils,\" Buck says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Buck entertained an enticing tax incentive package from Portland, Oregon, but they settled on Idaho.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'No question the white flight is to flee from a multiracial situation into one in which everybody looks the same.'\u003ccite>Mary Lou Reed, former Idaho state legislator\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"We looked at Idaho as not having a major metropolitan area, [and] that would mean as a state we would stay truer to those rural understandings,\" Buck says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What he means is that there isn't a major city like Portland or Los Angeles that would swing Idaho's politics to the left. Especially when it comes to minimum wage increases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The beauty of Idaho is, you just never lose connection. It's the people who need the jobs who are the ones voting on the issues,\" Buck says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Business owners like Buck are hoping to rebuild a manufacturing economy in the region. Since the late 1980s, north Idaho has transitioned from a mostly natural resources-based economy to one that's much more dependent on services, like health care, real estate and tourism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The economy has changed enormously,\" says Mary Lou Reed, a Democrat, who represented Coeur d' Alene in the state legislature until 1994.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reed also moved here from California, albeit in 1956. She recalls how north Idaho was once the country's top silver producer and union Democrats once ruled up until the late 1980s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The lumber mills are all gone, the mines are shuttered down, we do not have labor unions that are active,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, Kootenai County doesn't have a single Democrat in an elected office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Reed, there's one thing that no one talks about, out in the open at least, with all these demographic changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're very, very white up here,\" she says. Kootenai County is 95 percent white, according to the most recent census, compared with much of California today, where whites are in the minority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She insists race plays a factor in some people's decisions to move up here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No question the white flight is to flee from a multiracial situation into one in which everybody looks the same,\" she says. \"It's very dull.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is definitely an uncomfortable subject. Some of the transplants didn't want to talk about race as a reason for moving.

Information campaigns aimed at getting the public to take antibiotics properly have been driving home this message for decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the warning, a growing number of experts say, is misguided and may actually be exacerbating antibiotic resistance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reasoning is simple: Exposure to antibiotics is what drives bacteria to develop resistance. Taking drugs when you aren’t sick anymore simply gives the hordes of bacteria in and on your body more incentive to evolve to evade the drugs, so the next time you have an infection, they may not work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The traditional reasoning from doctors “never made any sense. It doesn’t make any sense today,” Dr. Louis Rice, chairman of the department of medicine at the Warren Alpert Medical School at Brown University, told STAT.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some colleagues credit Rice with being the first person to declare the emperor was wearing no clothes, and it is true that he challenged the dogma in lectures at major meetings of infectious diseases physicians and researchers in 2007 and 2008. A number of researchers now share his skepticism of health guidance that has been previously universally accepted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question of whether this advice is still appropriate will be raised at a World Health Organization meeting next month in Geneva. A report prepared for that meeting—the agency’s expert committee on the selection and use of essential medicine—already notes that the recommendation isn’t backed by science.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In many cases “an argument can be made for stopping a course of antibiotics immediately after a bacterial infection has been ruled out … or when the signs and symptoms of a mild infection have disappeared,” suggests the report, which analyzed information campaigns designed to get the public on board with efforts to fight antibiotic resistance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No one is doubting the lifesaving importance of antibiotics. They kill bacteria. But the more the bugs are exposed to the drugs, the more survival tricks the bacteria acquire. And the more resistant the bacteria become, the harder they are to treat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The concern is that the growing number of bacteria that are resistant to multiple antibiotics will lead to more incurable infections that will threaten medicine’s ability to conduct routine procedures like hip replacements or open heart surgery without endangering lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So how did this faulty paradigm become entrenched in medical practice? The answer lies back in the 1940s, the dawn of antibiotic use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, resistance wasn’t a concern. After the first antibiotic, penicillin, was discovered, more and more gushed out of the pharmaceutical product pipeline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doctors were focused only on figuring out how to use the drugs effectively to save lives. An ethos emerged: Treat patients until they get better, and then for a little bit longer to be on the safe side. Around the same time, research on how to cure tuberculosis suggested that under-dosing patients was dangerous—the infection would come back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea that stopping antibiotic treatment too quickly after symptoms went away might fuel resistance took hold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The problem is once it gets baked into culture, it’s really hard to excise it,” said Dr. Brad Spellberg, who is also an advocate for changing this advice. Spellberg is an infectious diseases specialist and chief medical officer at the Los Angeles County-University of Southern California Medical Center in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We think of medicine as a science, guided by mountains of research. But doctors sometimes prescribe antibiotics based more on their experience and intuition than anything else. There are treatment guidelines for different infections, but some provide scant advice on how long to continue treatment, Rice acknowledged. And response to treatment will differ from patient to patient, depending on, among other things, how old they are, how strong their immune systems are, or how well they metabolize drugs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s little incentive for pharmaceutical companies to conduct expensive studies aimed at finding the shortest duration of treatment for various conditions. But in the years since Rice first raised his concerns, the National Institutes of Health has been funding such research and almost invariably the ensuing studies have found that many infections can be cured more quickly than had been thought. Treatments that were once two weeks have been cut to one, 10 days have been reduced to seven and so on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There have been occasional exceptions. Just before Christmas, scientists at the University of Pittsburgh reported that 10 days of treatment for otitis media—middle ear infections—was better than five days for children under 2 years of age.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a surprise, said Spellberg, who noted that studies looking at the same condition in children 2 and older show the shorter treatment works.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More of this work is needed, Rice said. “I’m not here saying that every infection can be treated for two days or three days. I’m just saying: Let’s figure it out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, doctors and public health agencies are in a quandary. How do you put the new thinking into practice? And how do you advise the public? Doctors know full well some portion of people unilaterally decide to stop taking their antibiotics because they feel better. But that approach is not safe in all circumstances—for instance tuberculosis or bone infections. And it’s not an approach many physicians feel comfortable endorsing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a very tricky question. It’s not easy to make a blanket statement about this, and there isn’t a simple answer,” Dr. Lauri Hicks, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s office of antibiotic stewardship, told STAT in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are certain diagnoses for which shortening the course of antibiotic therapy is not recommended and/or potentially dangerous. … On the other hand, there are probably many situations for which antibiotic therapy is often prescribed for longer than necessary and the optimal duration is likely ‘until the patient gets better.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CDC’S Get Smart campaign, on appropriate antibiotic use, urges people never to skip doses or stop the drugs because they’re feeling better. But Hicks noted the CDC recently revised it to add “unless your healthcare professional tells you to do so” to that advice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that’s one way to deal with the situation, said Dr. James Johnson, a professor of infectious diseases medicine at the University of Minnesota and a specialist at the Minnesota VA Medical Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In fact sometimes some of us give that instruction to patients. ‘Here, I’m going to prescribe you a week. My guess is you won’t need it more than, say, three days. If you’re all well in three days, stop then. If you’re not completely well, take it a little longer. But as soon as you feel fine, stop.’ And we can give them permission to do that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spellberg is more comfortable with the idea of people checking back with their doctor before stopping their drugs — an approach that requires doctors to be willing to have that conversation. “You should call your doc and say ‘Hey, can I stop?’ … If your doctor won’t get on the phone with you for 20 seconds, you need to find another doctor.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This \u003ca href=\"https://www.statnews.com/2017/02/09/antibiotics-resistance-superbugs/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">story\u003c/a> was originally published by STAT, an online publication of Boston Globe Media that covers health, medicine, and scientific discovery.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

A number of researchers now share his skepticism of health guidance that has been previously universally accepted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question of whether this advice is still appropriate will be raised at a World Health Organization meeting next month in Geneva. A report prepared for that meeting—the agency’s expert committee on the selection and use of essential medicine—already notes that the recommendation isn’t backed by science.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In many cases “an argument can be made for stopping a course of antibiotics immediately after a bacterial infection has been ruled out … or when the signs and symptoms of a mild infection have disappeared,” suggests the report, which analyzed information campaigns designed to get the public on board with efforts to fight antibiotic resistance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No one is doubting the lifesaving importance of antibiotics. They kill bacteria. But the more the bugs are exposed to the drugs, the more survival tricks the bacteria acquire. And the more resistant the bacteria become, the harder they are to treat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The concern is that the growing number of bacteria that are resistant to multiple antibiotics will lead to more incurable infections that will threaten medicine’s ability to conduct routine procedures like hip replacements or open heart surgery without endangering lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So how did this faulty paradigm become entrenched in medical practice? The answer lies back in the 1940s, the dawn of antibiotic use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, resistance wasn’t a concern. After the first antibiotic, penicillin, was discovered, more and more gushed out of the pharmaceutical product pipeline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doctors were focused only on figuring out how to use the drugs effectively to save lives. An ethos emerged: Treat patients until they get better, and then for a little bit longer to be on the safe side. Around the same time, research on how to cure tuberculosis suggested that under-dosing patients was dangerous—the infection would come back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea that stopping antibiotic treatment too quickly after symptoms went away might fuel resistance took hold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The problem is once it gets baked into culture, it’s really hard to excise it,” said Dr. Brad Spellberg, who is also an advocate for changing this advice. Spellberg is an infectious diseases specialist and chief medical officer at the Los Angeles County-University of Southern California Medical Center in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We think of medicine as a science, guided by mountains of research. But doctors sometimes prescribe antibiotics based more on their experience and intuition than anything else. There are treatment guidelines for different infections, but some provide scant advice on how long to continue treatment, Rice acknowledged. And response to treatment will differ from patient to patient, depending on, among other things, how old they are, how strong their immune systems are, or how well they metabolize drugs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s little incentive for pharmaceutical companies to conduct expensive studies aimed at finding the shortest duration of treatment for various conditions. But in the years since Rice first raised his concerns, the National Institutes of Health has been funding such research and almost invariably the ensuing studies have found that many infections can be cured more quickly than had been thought. Treatments that were once two weeks have been cut to one, 10 days have been reduced to seven and so on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There have been occasional exceptions. Just before Christmas, scientists at the University of Pittsburgh reported that 10 days of treatment for otitis media—middle ear infections—was better than five days for children under 2 years of age.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a surprise, said Spellberg, who noted that studies looking at the same condition in children 2 and older show the shorter treatment works.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More of this work is needed, Rice said. “I’m not here saying that every infection can be treated for two days or three days. I’m just saying: Let’s figure it out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, doctors and public health agencies are in a quandary. How do you put the new thinking into practice? And how do you advise the public? Doctors know full well some portion of people unilaterally decide to stop taking their antibiotics because they feel better. But that approach is not safe in all circumstances—for instance tuberculosis or bone infections. And it’s not an approach many physicians feel comfortable endorsing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a very tricky question. It’s not easy to make a blanket statement about this, and there isn’t a simple answer,” Dr. Lauri Hicks, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s office of antibiotic stewardship, told STAT in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are certain diagnoses for which shortening the course of antibiotic therapy is not recommended and/or potentially dangerous. … On the other hand, there are probably many situations for which antibiotic therapy is often prescribed for longer than necessary and the optimal duration is likely ‘until the patient gets better.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CDC’S Get Smart campaign, on appropriate antibiotic use, urges people never to skip doses or stop the drugs because they’re feeling better. But Hicks noted the CDC recently revised it to add “unless your healthcare professional tells you to do so” to that advice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that’s one way to deal with the situation, said Dr. James Johnson, a professor of infectious diseases medicine at the University of Minnesota and a specialist at the Minnesota VA Medical Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In fact sometimes some of us give that instruction to patients. ‘Here, I’m going to prescribe you a week. My guess is you won’t need it more than, say, three days. If you’re all well in three days, stop then. If you’re not completely well, take it a little longer. But as soon as you feel fine, stop.’ And we can give them permission to do that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spellberg is more comfortable with the idea of people checking back with their doctor before stopping their drugs — an approach that requires doctors to be willing to have that conversation. “You should call your doc and say ‘Hey, can I stop?’ … If your doctor won’t get on the phone with you for 20 seconds, you need to find another doctor.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Those questions will be prompted by a story by KQED Science Managing Editor and San Jose Mercury News reporter Paul Rogers, who \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/02/12/oroville-dam-feds-and-state-officials-ignored-warnings-12-years-ago/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">details concerns raised about the soundness of the emergency spillway system\u003c/a> back in 2005.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 11:15 a.m. Monday:\u003c/strong> Water levels continue to drop this morning at the nation’s tallest dam, reducing the risk of a catastrophic spillway collapse and easing community fears. However, officials say they do not yet have enough information to lift an evacuation order that displaced nearly 200,000 people Sunday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials from the California Department of Water Resources are in the process of inspecting an erosion scar on the spillway at the dam on Lake Oroville. After a series of storms this month, the water level rose significantly at the lake and the high water forced the use of the dam’s emergency spillway, or overflow, for the first time in the dam’s nearly 50-year history on Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With more rain expected Wednesday and Thursday, officials are trying to fix the damage and hoping to reduce the dam’s water level by 50 feet ahead of the coming storms. According to the California Department of Water Resources, the lake level was about 5 feet lower this morning (and dropping) than at its high point last night. It continues to drop about 3 to 4 inches per hour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/kcrajavora/status/831190889569464320/photo/1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sudden evacuation order on Sunday caused confusion and chaos, as more than 500 people showed up at a Red Cross evacuation center in Chico. The shelter ran out of blankets and cots, and a tractor-trailer with 1,000 more cots was stuck in the gridlock of traffic fleeing the potential flooding Sunday night, said Red Cross shelter manager Pam Deditch. The Beale Air Force Base also took in about 375 residents, \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-live-updates-oroville-dam-20170212-htmlstory.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to the L.A. Times\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A California Highway Patrol spokesman said two planes would help with traffic control and possible search-and-rescue missions this morning. At least 250 California law enforcement officers are posted near the dam and along evacuation routes to manage the exodus and ensure evacuated towns don’t become targets for looting or other criminal activity. And the California National Guard also notified all of its 23,000 soldiers and airmen to be ready to deploy, the first time an alert for the entire California National Guard had been issued since the 1992 riots in Los Angeles. FEMA has also said it is setting up an incident command center with the California Office of Emergency Services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CHPCommissioner/status/831207748004048896\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While fears have eased slightly, a lot is still unknown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to continue to lower the lake levels, and we need to give the Department of Water Resources time to fully evaluate the situation so we can make the decision to whether or not it is safe to repopulate the area,” said Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Acting Director of the Department of Water Resources Bill Croyle said officials will be able to assess the damage to the emergency spillway now that the lake level has come down. Unexpected erosion chewed through the main spillway during heavy rain earlier this week, sending chunks of concrete flying and creating a 200-foot-long, 30-foot-deep hole. Engineers do not yet know what caused the cave-in, but Chris Orrock, a Department of Water Resources spokesman, said it appears the dam’s main spillway has stopped crumbling, even though it is still being used for water releases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A gallery from DWR of the erosion earlier this week:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[gallery type=\"rectangular\" size=\"medium\" ids=\"11307354,11307355,11307356,11307357,11307358,11307359,11307360,11307361,11307362,11307363,11307364,11307365\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The Associated Press contributed reporting to this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update: Sunday, Feb. 12, 10:45 p.m.: \u003c/strong>The level of Lake Oroville has dropped enough to prevent water from cascading over the emergency spillway, stopping the erosion that threatens the structure, water officials said late Sunday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea said this doesn’t mean the area is out of danger, however, and he doesn’t yet know when he might have enough information to lift the evacuation order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to give the Department of Water Resources (DWR) time to thoroughly evaluate [the spillway], in order to make decisions about whether or not it is safe to repopulate areas,” Honea said. “I recognize how tough this situation is on people, but as you’ve heard tonight, we needed to do that to ensure the public safety. And that’s the thing we’ll focus on going forth.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Jerry Brown issued an emergency proclamation late Sunday, freeing up personnel and equipment to help with everything from evacuations to flood control to patrolling evacuated areas. The California Highway Patrol, Cal Fire and the National Guard have deployed helicopters, planes, fire engines and high water trucks — or have them standing by — and have mobilized hundreds of law enforcement and other personnel, including swift water rescue teams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DWR on Sunday nearly doubled the flow over the primary concrete spillway, from 55,000 to 100,000 cubic feet per second. That brought the level of the lake down below the lip of the emergency spillway by mid-evening, easing the threat of collapse. But water officials now want to lower the lake another 50 feet, to make room for storms due later this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency’s acting director, Bill Croyle, said officials were able to get up in helicopters to inspect the spillway visually Sunday night, but need to be out on the ground tomorrow at first light to look at the erosion scar. Croyle said the goal is to ensure the emergency spillway not only doesn’t fail, but is able to be used the rest of the winter rainy season, if necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This erosion scar happened for a reason, so we want to understand that,” Croyle said, adding that the department has not yet dropped any bags of rocks into the erosion scar, or taken any other corrective measures to repair it\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials said evacuation orders affect 76,000 residents in Yuba City, 65,000 in Yuba County, 35,000 in Butte County and 12,000 people in Marysville. The California Highway Patrol is urging evacuees to take Highway 99 or State Route 70 north to escape the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original Story, Sunday Feb. 12:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State water officials say the “auxiliary” spillway at Oroville Dam could fail at any time and they ordered emergency evacuations late this afternoon for thousands of people from Oroville to Gridley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We didn’t have the luxury of waiting to see if all was OK,” said Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea, explaining that when he ordered the evacuations, officials believed the spillway might collapse within hours. “We needed to get people moving and save lives in case the worst-case scenario came to fruition.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Department of Water Resources urged residents of Oroville to head north, toward Chico. Residents elsewhere downstream should follow the orders of their local law enforcement, the department said. Officials have set up an evacuation shelter at the Silver Dollar Fairgrounds in Chico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The spillway is still holding, despite a hole that is eroding at its lower edge, due to the pressure of water cascading over the lip of the spillway. Earlier Sunday, water officials estimated the hole was eroding inward at a fast enough rate to cause a collapse sometime in the early evening, but at a press conference shortly after 6 p.m., officials said the hole was eroding more slowly than they’d expected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”WFj3LQ7Pt7laj6spCKLasjb82PE3leq1″]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sheriff Hornea said the plan is to use helicopters to drop bags of rocks into the crevice and prevent further erosion. Cal Fire incident commander Kevin Lawson said the agency has helicopters and engines standing ready to be deployed and is mobilizing hand crews on both sides of the river to assist with any flooding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Water officials said they are relieving pressure on the spillway by increasing water flows down the primary concrete spillway, and that they have not seen any further damage Sunday to the concrete, due to the additional water. The primary spillway developed a massive cavity last week, which has expanded as water flows increased.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The auxiliary spillway is separate from the main dam structure. It’s essentially an ungated 1,700-foot-wide notch in the rim of the reservoir, which began overflowing Saturday morning, days after the dam’s concrete-lined main spillway began to crumble. Below an initial concrete lip, water courses over bare earth all the way to the Feather River below, scouring the incline of earth, rocks and trees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite earlier reports that the lake level was dropping on Saturday, erosion on the auxiliary spillway has increased beyond expectations. Oroville Dam contains California’s second-largest reservoir, and is currently holding back more than 3.5 million acre-feet of water.\u003c/p>\n\n",

And that’s the thing we’ll focus on going forth.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Jerry Brown issued an emergency proclamation late Sunday, freeing up personnel and equipment to help with everything from evacuations to flood control to patrolling evacuated areas. The California Highway Patrol, Cal Fire and the National Guard have deployed helicopters, planes, fire engines and high water trucks — or have them standing by — and have mobilized hundreds of law enforcement and other personnel, including swift water rescue teams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DWR on Sunday nearly doubled the flow over the primary concrete spillway, from 55,000 to 100,000 cubic feet per second. That brought the level of the lake down below the lip of the emergency spillway by mid-evening, easing the threat of collapse. But water officials now want to lower the lake another 50 feet, to make room for storms due later this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency’s acting director, Bill Croyle, said officials were able to get up in helicopters to inspect the spillway visually Sunday night, but need to be out on the ground tomorrow at first light to look at the erosion scar. Croyle said the goal is to ensure the emergency spillway not only doesn’t fail, but is able to be used the rest of the winter rainy season, if necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This erosion scar happened for a reason, so we want to understand that,” Croyle said, adding that the department has not yet dropped any bags of rocks into the erosion scar, or taken any other corrective measures to repair it\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials said evacuation orders affect 76,000 residents in Yuba City, 65,000 in Yuba County, 35,000 in Butte County and 12,000 people in Marysville. The California Highway Patrol is urging evacuees to take Highway 99 or State Route 70 north to escape the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original Story, Sunday Feb. 12:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State water officials say the “auxiliary” spillway at Oroville Dam could fail at any time and they ordered emergency evacuations late this afternoon for thousands of people from Oroville to Gridley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We didn’t have the luxury of waiting to see if all was OK,” said Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea, explaining that when he ordered the evacuations, officials believed the spillway might collapse within hours. “We needed to get people moving and save lives in case the worst-case scenario came to fruition.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Department of Water Resources urged residents of Oroville to head north, toward Chico. Residents elsewhere downstream should follow the orders of their local law enforcement, the department said. Officials have set up an evacuation shelter at the Silver Dollar Fairgrounds in Chico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The spillway is still holding, despite a hole that is eroding at its lower edge, due to the pressure of water cascading over the lip of the spillway. Earlier Sunday, water officials estimated the hole was eroding inward at a fast enough rate to cause a collapse sometime in the early evening, but at a press conference shortly after 6 p.m., officials said the hole was eroding more slowly than they’d expected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sheriff Hornea said the plan is to use helicopters to drop bags of rocks into the crevice and prevent further erosion. Cal Fire incident commander Kevin Lawson said the agency has helicopters and engines standing ready to be deployed and is mobilizing hand crews on both sides of the river to assist with any flooding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Water officials said they are relieving pressure on the spillway by increasing water flows down the primary concrete spillway, and that they have not seen any further damage Sunday to the concrete, due to the additional water. The primary spillway developed a massive cavity last week, which has expanded as water flows increased.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The auxiliary spillway is separate from the main dam structure. It’s essentially an ungated 1,700-foot-wide notch in the rim of the reservoir, which began overflowing Saturday morning, days after the dam’s concrete-lined main spillway began to crumble. Below an initial concrete lip, water courses over bare earth all the way to the Feather River below, scouring the incline of earth, rocks and trees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>It was not psychiatry’s finest hour. Just over 20 years ago a psychotherapist claimed he had discovered a new mental illness, which he named Internet Abuse Disorder. He saw it all around him: people compulsively reading websites and sending email and feeling anxious if they couldn’t. Psychiatrists and laypeople alike flocked to a listserv to share their experience with this supposed affliction, and the American Psychiatric Association appointed a task force to explore whether there was sufficient evidence to support recognizing internet “abuse” as a mental disorder.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">An existential dread engulfs some people who are cut off from the online world.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Verdict: There wasn’t then and there isn’t now. Spending hours each day online via either mobile devices or the stationary kind is not a mental illness. In fact, the original proposal, by the late Dr. Ivan Goldberg, was meant as a joke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"v1Vm2rYzINUSkLHhmrEoRc3mBkYRkZme\"]More than any other behavior that people engage in compulsively, the digital version — from checking Facebook to texting — shows that just because you’re compulsive about something doesn’t mean you have a broken brain. To the contrary. As with other compulsions that fall well short of pathology, the allure of being online sheds light on some of the mind’s most salient, and utterly normal, operations, according to the latest research. From our desire to connect to the way we respond to unpredictable rewards, our minds are wired in a way that lets digital technology sink its hooks into us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, a definition. A compulsive behavior is one that is repeated and chronic, and arises from a feeling of anxiety. Just as someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) compulsively and repeatedly washes her hands, for instance, to alleviate the anxiety that comes from believing she is covered with germs, so mentally healthy people who behave compulsively are also driven by anxiety. (Checking one’s phone repeatedly is not considered a disorder, however, because the behavior is grounded in reality, not a delusion, and it usually doesn’t get in the way of living a normal life.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Often, said Moez Limayem, of the University of South Florida, who led a \u003ca href=\"http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/isj.12065/abstract\" target=\"_blank\">2015 study\u003c/a> on mobile use, “The underlying motivation to use a mobile phone is not pleasure,” but is instead “a response to heightened stress and anxiety.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Start with the fact that many of us feel anxious if we’re not making use of every tiny slice of time. The effort required for a single online “transaction” — a click, a view, checking Instagram or Facebook — is minuscule, so much so that not texting or reading your smartphone screen feels like a greater burden than doing so. “The timescale on which you work with online technology is central to making it compelling,” said psychologist Tom Stafford of the University of Sheffield in England. “What else can you do in five seconds that’s interesting? Why not check your phone?” This is a large part of why “using the internet can be compulsive,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One reason we often feel anxious if we’re not using every tiny slice of time is that we find it hard—even unpleasant and anxiety-producing to be alone with our thoughts, as a \u003ca href=\"http://science.sciencemag.org/content/345/6192/75\" target=\"_blank\">2014 study\u003c/a> showed. Researchers led by social psychologist Timothy Wilson of the University of Virginia gave volunteers two options: do “nothing” for 15 minutes or give themselves a small electric shock (which three-quarters had previously told the researchers they’d pay money not to experience). Two-thirds of the men and one-quarter of the women chose the latter, so anxious were they for “something to do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The untutored mind does not like to be alone with itself,” Wilson concluded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Especially when the mind encounters payoffs structured like a slot machine’s. Like those one-armed bandits, the digital world offers what are called intermittent/variable rewards: An action — pulling the slot machine’s arm, checking for texts — can bring either a payoff or nothing. Most of what fills your Twitter feed or Facebook updates is digital dross. (“Barbara changed her Facebook picture!”) Payoff: zero. But every so often, you find a gem — a friend offering Bruce Springsteen tickets, an acquaintance posting a link to the morning’s must-read Trump story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If I give you a treat sometimes, you have to keep checking all the time: You don’t know when it will come,” said Stafford. “No matter how frequently you check, even if you checked only a second ago, a brilliant email might have just come in. You feel anxiety about possibly missing something.” Such low-cost, occasionally high-reward activities are catnip to the brain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If we’re prevented from compulsively checking for texts, the anxiety that the compulsive behavior alleviates comes roaring back. Psychologists have found that people who are separated from their smartphone experience an elevated heart rate and other signs of anxiety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one \u003ca href=\"http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0747563215303332\" target=\"_blank\">2016 study\u003c/a>, volunteers who filled out a standard questionnaire about their smartphone use and emotions told researchers that they turn to their phones “to avoid negative experiences or feelings” and “to cope [with] or escape from feelings related to an anxiety-inducing situation.” Psychologist Alejandro Lleras, of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, who led the study, described it as a security-blanket effect, absorbing our bubbling-over anxiety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That fits with studies finding that people text as a way to escape anxiety; something like 70 percent of study participants say smartphones and texting help them overcome anxiety and other negative moods. It’s become a stereotype that people in awkward (read: anxiety-provoking) situations “turn to their mobile phones as a way to disengage,” the Illinois researchers wrote, especially “during times of more intense distress.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lleras and a colleague gave volunteers a short writing assignment that, they explained (falsely), would be evaluated by two experts. To ratchet up the stress further, the researchers said the experts would also interview them about their essay. While waiting for that, half the volunteers had access to their mobile phones and half didn’t. Among those who were able to text and surf to their anxiety-ridden-heart’s content, half felt intense anxiety. In comparison, three-quarters of those who were deprived of their phones did, the researchers reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By giving in to a compulsion to use their phone, many of the study volunteers were able to defuse much of their anxiety. “People seem to be less vulnerable to becoming stressed in anxiety-provoking situations when they have access” to their mobile phone, the researchers wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not only being deprived of those variable-interval rewards that makes ditching their smartphone unthinkable for many people. Because it has become our main connection to other people and the world at large, the anxiety that comes from not being able to check it arises, too, from the feeling of missing something, as if everyone else is plugged in, connected, on top of things, and you aren’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are people who feel, if I’m not there, if I’m not on that site, I’m missing something — something about my friends, or my health, or anything else,” said psychiatrist Dr. David Reiss, who practices in San Diego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The internet exploits this FOMO, or fear of missing out. Being disconnected is synonymous with missing out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By making us feel we are always connected to the world, smartphones also alleviate the anxiety that otherwise floods into us from feeling alone and untethered. A character in the 2014 New York City production of Laura Eason’s play “Sex with Strangers,” learning there’s no cellphone service at a bed-and-breakfast, says, “People will think I’m dead.” People don’t like feeling dead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://withoutmedia.wordpress.com/\" target=\"_blank\">2010 study\u003c/a> by the International Center for Media and the Public Agenda at the University of Maryland showed how profound an existential dread engulfs people cut off from the online world. The researchers asked 200 students to abstain from using their phones and computers (and all other media) for 24 hours. Describing their experience, the students said they felt disconnected and anxious that they were missing out on something, using terms evoking compulsion: \u003cem>Frantically craving. Very anxious. Extremely antsy. Miserable. Jittery. Crazy.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s worth reading some of their comments:“Texting and IM’ing my friends gives me a constant feeling of comfort … the fact that I was not able to communicate with anyone via technology was almost unbearable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel so disconnected from all the people who I think are calling me, but really they aren’t half the time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I couldn’t take it anymore being in my room … alone … with nothing to occupy my mind so I gave up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if we do miss out? If we’re not connected? If existence is defined these days by an online presence, then not being online is not to exist. Human history knows no greater motivation for action than the existential one of raging against the dying of the light. When we are not online, when we are not connected, when we miss out, we do not exist, and that causes the most unbearable and existential anxiety there is.That is how we should understand the digital compulsion: not as a pathology, but as the result of the online world’s ability to tap into something deep in the human psyche and make many of us digital casualties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was originally published by \u003ca href=\"https://www.statnews.com/2017/02/08/social-media-compulsion-mental-illness/\" target=\"_blank\">STAT\u003c/a>, an online publication of Boston Globe Media that covers health, medicine, and scientific discovery.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>It has been adapted from Sharon Begley’s book “\u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Cant-Just-Stop-Investigation-Compulsions/dp/1476725829\">Can’t.

Just over 20 years ago a psychotherapist claimed he had discovered a new mental illness, which he named Internet Abuse Disorder. He saw it all around him: people compulsively reading websites and sending email and feeling anxious if they couldn’t. Psychiatrists and laypeople alike flocked to a listserv to share their experience with this supposed affliction, and the American Psychiatric Association appointed a task force to explore whether there was sufficient evidence to support recognizing internet “abuse” as a mental disorder.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">An existential dread engulfs some people who are cut off from the online world.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Verdict: There wasn’t then and there isn’t now. Spending hours each day online via either mobile devices or the stationary kind is not a mental illness. In fact, the original proposal, by the late Dr. Ivan Goldberg, was meant as a joke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>More than any other behavior that people engage in compulsively, the digital version — from checking Facebook to texting — shows that just because you’re compulsive about something doesn’t mean you have a broken brain. To the contrary. As with other compulsions that fall well short of pathology, the allure of being online sheds light on some of the mind’s most salient, and utterly normal, operations, according to the latest research. From our desire to connect to the way we respond to unpredictable rewards, our minds are wired in a way that lets digital technology sink its hooks into us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, a definition. A compulsive behavior is one that is repeated and chronic, and arises from a feeling of anxiety. Just as someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) compulsively and repeatedly washes her hands, for instance, to alleviate the anxiety that comes from believing she is covered with germs, so mentally healthy people who behave compulsively are also driven by anxiety. (Checking one’s phone repeatedly is not considered a disorder, however, because the behavior is grounded in reality, not a delusion, and it usually doesn’t get in the way of living a normal life.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Often, said Moez Limayem, of the University of South Florida, who led a \u003ca href=\"http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/isj.12065/abstract\" target=\"_blank\">2015 study\u003c/a> on mobile use, “The underlying motivation to use a mobile phone is not pleasure,” but is instead “a response to heightened stress and anxiety.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Start with the fact that many of us feel anxious if we’re not making use of every tiny slice of time. The effort required for a single online “transaction” — a click, a view, checking Instagram or Facebook — is minuscule, so much so that not texting or reading your smartphone screen feels like a greater burden than doing so. “The timescale on which you work with online technology is central to making it compelling,” said psychologist Tom Stafford of the University of Sheffield in England. “What else can you do in five seconds that’s interesting? Why not check your phone?” This is a large part of why “using the internet can be compulsive,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One reason we often feel anxious if we’re not using every tiny slice of time is that we find it hard—even unpleasant and anxiety-producing to be alone with our thoughts, as a \u003ca href=\"http://science.sciencemag.org/content/345/6192/75\" target=\"_blank\">2014 study\u003c/a> showed. Researchers led by social psychologist Timothy Wilson of the University of Virginia gave volunteers two options: do “nothing” for 15 minutes or give themselves a small electric shock (which three-quarters had previously told the researchers they’d pay money not to experience). Two-thirds of the men and one-quarter of the women chose the latter, so anxious were they for “something to do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The untutored mind does not like to be alone with itself,” Wilson concluded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Especially when the mind encounters payoffs structured like a slot machine’s. Like those one-armed bandits, the digital world offers what are called intermittent/variable rewards: An action — pulling the slot machine’s arm, checking for texts — can bring either a payoff or nothing. Most of what fills your Twitter feed or Facebook updates is digital dross. (“Barbara changed her Facebook picture!”) Payoff: zero. But every so often, you find a gem — a friend offering Bruce Springsteen tickets, an acquaintance posting a link to the morning’s must-read Trump story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If I give you a treat sometimes, you have to keep checking all the time: You don’t know when it will come,” said Stafford. “No matter how frequently you check, even if you checked only a second ago, a brilliant email might have just come in. You feel anxiety about possibly missing something.” Such low-cost, occasionally high-reward activities are catnip to the brain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If we’re prevented from compulsively checking for texts, the anxiety that the compulsive behavior alleviates comes roaring back. Psychologists have found that people who are separated from their smartphone experience an elevated heart rate and other signs of anxiety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one \u003ca href=\"http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0747563215303332\" target=\"_blank\">2016 study\u003c/a>, volunteers who filled out a standard questionnaire about their smartphone use and emotions told researchers that they turn to their phones “to avoid negative experiences or feelings” and “to cope [with] or escape from feelings related to an anxiety-inducing situation.” Psychologist Alejandro Lleras, of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, who led the study, described it as a security-blanket effect, absorbing our bubbling-over anxiety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That fits with studies finding that people text as a way to escape anxiety; something like 70 percent of study participants say smartphones and texting help them overcome anxiety and other negative moods. It’s become a stereotype that people in awkward (read: anxiety-provoking) situations “turn to their mobile phones as a way to disengage,” the Illinois researchers wrote, especially “during times of more intense distress.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lleras and a colleague gave volunteers a short writing assignment that, they explained (falsely), would be evaluated by two experts. To ratchet up the stress further, the researchers said the experts would also interview them about their essay. While waiting for that, half the volunteers had access to their mobile phones and half didn’t. Among those who were able to text and surf to their anxiety-ridden-heart’s content, half felt intense anxiety. In comparison, three-quarters of those who were deprived of their phones did, the researchers reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By giving in to a compulsion to use their phone, many of the study volunteers were able to defuse much of their anxiety. “People seem to be less vulnerable to becoming stressed in anxiety-provoking situations when they have access” to their mobile phone, the researchers wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not only being deprived of those variable-interval rewards that makes ditching their smartphone unthinkable for many people. Because it has become our main connection to other people and the world at large, the anxiety that comes from not being able to check it arises, too, from the feeling of missing something, as if everyone else is plugged in, connected, on top of things, and you aren’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are people who feel, if I’m not there, if I’m not on that site, I’m missing something — something about my friends, or my health, or anything else,” said psychiatrist Dr. David Reiss, who practices in San Diego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The internet exploits this FOMO, or fear of missing out. Being disconnected is synonymous with missing out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By making us feel we are always connected to the world, smartphones also alleviate the anxiety that otherwise floods into us from feeling alone and untethered. A character in the 2014 New York City production of Laura Eason’s play “Sex with Strangers,” learning there’s no cellphone service at a bed-and-breakfast, says, “People will think I’m dead.” People don’t like feeling dead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://withoutmedia.wordpress.com/\" target=\"_blank\">2010 study\u003c/a> by the International Center for Media and the Public Agenda at the University of Maryland showed how profound an existential dread engulfs people cut off from the online world. The researchers asked 200 students to abstain from using their phones and computers (and all other media) for 24 hours. Describing their experience, the students said they felt disconnected and anxious that they were missing out on something, using terms evoking compulsion: \u003cem>Frantically craving. Very anxious. Extremely antsy. Miserable. Jittery. Crazy.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s worth reading some of their comments:“Texting and IM’ing my friends gives me a constant feeling of comfort … the fact that I was not able to communicate with anyone via technology was almost unbearable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel so disconnected from all the people who I think are calling me, but really they aren’t half the time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I couldn’t take it anymore being in my room … alone … with nothing to occupy my mind so I gave up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if we do miss out? If we’re not connected? If existence is defined these days by an online presence, then not being online is not to exist. Human history knows no greater motivation for action than the existential one of raging against the dying of the light. When we are not online, when we are not connected, when we miss out, we do not exist, and that causes the most unbearable and existential anxiety there is.That is how we should understand the digital compulsion: not as a pathology, but as the result of the online world’s ability to tap into something deep in the human psyche and make many of us digital casualties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was originally published by \u003ca href=\"https://www.statnews.com/2017/02/08/social-media-compulsion-mental-illness/\" target=\"_blank\">STAT\u003c/a>, an online publication of Boston Globe Media that covers health, medicine, and scientific discovery.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>It has been adapted from Sharon Begley’s book “\u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Cant-Just-Stop-Investigation-Compulsions/dp/1476725829\">Can’t.

Crown Books for Younger Readers, part of Penguin Random House, has just released an anthology called \u003ca href=\"http://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/530007/flying-lessons-and-other-stories-by-ellen-oh/9781101934593/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cem>Flying Lessons\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, edited by WNDB President \u003ca href=\"http://www.ellenoh.com/index1.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ellen Oh\u003c/a>, with profits going to the group. Phoebe Yeh is an editor with Crown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Finally people are waking up and realizing we need to figure this out together,” Yeh said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just as the #OscarsSoWhite social media campaign put pressure on Hollywood, We Need Diverse Books is pushing major kids book publishers to diversify.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know, maybe not this year,” Yeh said, “but in the next few years, the stats are going to look different.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Megan Schliesman at the Cooperative Children’s Book Center said her fellow librarians have a responsibility as well, especially in a state where many work in small rural communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we are just letting those books sit on the shelf,” Schliesman said, “what message is it sending for kids in a predominantly white community about who we are collectively? Visibility says, ‘You matter. You matter in this classroom and school, you matter in this library, you matter in this community.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What’s at Stake\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Many of those in the diverse kid-lit effort say the stakes are very high now, with a president who, they say, seems willing to scapegoat groups based on race or religion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think the last year has shown us what can happen,” said Jason Low, “when someone in a leadership role dismisses large cross-sections of American based on ethnicity, gender and religious beliefs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe that if Donald Trump read diverse books while growing up, he would not be the same person he is today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That may seem a stretch, but back at the Dimond Library, I met Silwan Ali, a 13-year-old in a headscarf who came to story time with her little brother.

I know Donald Trump,” she said. “Sometimes he really infuriates our feelings.” I asked her if it might change his mind if he read some of the books she’s reading about respecting diversity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would mean to him a lot,” she said, “because he didn’t really know what our culture means.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
