The discriminant validity of children's and parents' ratings the child's fear on Revised Fear Survey Schedule for Children (FSSC‐R; Ollendick, 1983) was examined using a clinic sample children who met DSM criteria phobic disorders ( N = 120). Discriminant function analyses item were conducted to determine if meeting diagnostic primary disorder social phobia, simple phobia dark/sleeping alone, animals, or shots/doctors could be differentiated basis FSSC‐R subscale scores items.

Exponential scientific data growth presents challenges and opportunities for addressing 56 complex public health issues like the opioid epidemic chronic pain management.57 Despite vast amount of research conducted globally, many datasets remain 58 inaccessible or underutilized due to publication access policies stringent use 59 agreements.The generated through activities is enormous.60 Limited stifles discovery delays translation 61 proven advances into real-world applications.(1)To address...
This study uses data from the largest effectiveness trial to date on treatment of co-occurring posttraumatic stress and substance use disorders, using advances in statistical methodology for modeling attendance membership turnover rolling groups.
We examined the comparability between mothers' and fathers' ratings in assessment of their child's anxiety symptoms. The sample consisted 78 youth (6 to 17 years) mothers fathers who presented a childhood disorders specialty research clinic. Using intraclass correlation coefficients, mother?father agreement symptoms was found be moderate. Mean differences were not significantly different. Both maternal paternal self-ratings psychopathology predicted respective anxiety. Although either or can...
Objective This study evaluated relations between sexual sensation seeking, co‐occurring sex and alcohol use, risk behaviors (eg, unprotected intercourse multiple partners) among adolescents receiving treatment for substance abuse problems. Method The ethnically diverse sample included 394 recruited from outpatient (280 males; M age = 16.33 years, SD 1.15). Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test direct indirect paths seeking via the frequency of use. Conditional effects by gender...

Research studies suggest racial/ethnic differences in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) diagnosis and symptom severity. Few to date, however, have examined the extent which these findings are due measurement properties of existing PTSD scales. This study equivalence across race/ethnicity Clinician-Administered Scale (CAPS) by testing for differential item functioning (DIF) response theory (IRT) framework. Participants were 506 trauma-exposed women (M = 39.41 years, SD 8.94) who...
Abstract Objective One of the primary tools in assessment individual‐level patient outcomes is Jacobson and Truax, (1991’s) Reliable Change Index (RCI). Recent efforts to optimize RCI have revolved around three issues: (a) extending beyond two timepoints, (b) estimating using scale scores from item response theory or factor analysis (c) estimation person‐ time‐specific standard errors measurement. Method We present an adaptation a two‐stage procedure, measurement error‐corrected multilevel...
Multiple factor analytic and item response theory studies have shown that items/symptoms vary in their relative clinical weights structured interview measures for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Despite these findings, the use of total scores, which treat symptoms as though they are equally weighted, predominates practice, with consequence undermining precision decision-making. We conducted an integrative data analysis (IDA) study to harmonize PTSD (i.e., recoding items a common...
