Approximately 20 percent of Americans ages 19 to 25 have a personality disorder, according to a new study that explores mental disorders in young adults, the Associated Press reported. The study, published in the Archives of General Psychiatry, also shows that fewer than 25 percent of young adults with mental problems are diagnosed and treated. These findings suggest that access to treatment and medical centers is limited for young adults with these disorders, which can include obsessive tendencies and anti-social behavior and potentially result in violent behavior, the Press reported. The study also compared the mental health of students and non-students, extensively interviewing more than 5,000 young adults between 2001 and 2002. Research showed that 8 percent were diagnosed with obsessive compulsive personality disorder in both categories, suggesting little difference in the distribution of personality disorders between the two groups.

Following the advice of a panel of experts, the U.S. Department of Energy has decided to halt funding for the Free Air CO2 Enrichment research program, despite opposition from many of the scientists involved, the Associated Press reported Tuesday. The multimillion dollar program has spent over a decade exposing small groups of trees to elevated levels of carbon dioxide in order to test forests' response to global warming, the Associated Press reported. The program is now expected to enter the last phase, during which scientists will chop down the trees and collect data from the soil, though some scientists believe it is too early to move on to this stage. The research, which was conducted at Duke University, Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee and the Harshaw Experimental Forest in Wisconsin, is expected to be completed by 2011.
A six-year study of Gates Millennium Scholarship Program applicants suggests that black students who major in "high-paying fields" tend to make less money immediately after graduating college than Asian-American and Hispanic-American students who major in the same fields, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education. The study, conducted by the University of Chicago's National Opinion Research Center, monitored approximately 350 students from their high school graduations in the spring of 2000 until 2006. The salaries of black students who majored in science, technology, mathematics or engineering was 50 percent less than that of their Asian and Hispanic counterparts shortly after college, and black students who majored in business or law also made less money, according to the study. The researchers of the study stated that they had insufficient data to examine whether employer discrimination was responsible for the disparities they found.
