The purpose of this study was to assess the approach and materials Centers for Disease Control Prevention's "Learn Signs. Act Early." (LTSAE) health education campaign, which aims improve awareness developmental milestones early warning signs delay among parents young children.We conducted 2 phases qualitative research. Focus groups assessed campaign's objectives by exploring experiences with children who have delays or disabilities determine facilitators barriers identification. In-depth...
We present data questioning the adequacy of standard back-translation procedures for investigating emotion states across cultures (Brislin, 1970). Our indicate that Chinese term disgust has led cross-cultural researchers to accept terms whose themes, goals, and motivations are more akin English anger. Evidence is presented showing that, compared with method, a painstaking interview method found better translational equivalent disgust. Implications use in research considered.
ABSTRACT Prenatal alcohol exposure has been linked to adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. However, its effects on developmental outcomes in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) remain unclear. We examined associations between prenatal during the first trimester (PAE‐FT) and early learning ability, behavioral problems, severity of autistic traits preschool‐aged a large multi‐site case–control study, Study Explore Early Development. Children were classified as ASD ( n = 1237) or...
ABSTRACT Early warning indicator and intervention systems (EWS) have been promoted to identify students at risk of school underperformance or dropout. Current EWS typically include administrative data on attendance, behavior incidents requiring disciplinary action, course performance. This study tested whether specific emotional behavioral symptoms measured by a student self‐report universal screener administered in the fall can predict three indicators after controlling for they account...
The objectives of this study were to investigate associations between co-occurring developmental, psychiatric, behavioral, and medical symptoms conditions autism spectrum disorder (ASD) traits, as well predictors changes in autistic traits from early childhood adolescence. Participants the Study Explore Early Development (SEED) identified having (n=707), another developmental (DD) (n=995), or a population comparison group (POP) (n=898). Caregivers completed Social Responsiveness Scale-2nd...
The unpredictability of suicide is one the mental health challenges. Based on threshold model cumulative stressors and traumas interact with a person's characteristics to produce non-linearly suicidality. current study tests this non-linear relationship using Catastrophe cusp theory. We used (CST) as bifurcation control factor age asymmetry outcome Cusp factor. utilized three combined previously collected data sets (N = 967) from Western (the UK, N 177) non-Western countries (Egypt: 490,...
In order to better understand contributing factors of moral judgment development, gifted youth and college students were compared. Moral ACT scores, attributional complexity, descriptors personality assessed among 140 97 youth. Important distinctions favoring the sample seen aspects all considered variables. Stepwise hierarchical regression models noted that there was variability in how these variables accounted for developmental variance each group. Discussed are explanations differences...
An infant or toddler can begin the process of receiving Part C early intervention services by having a diagnosed condition with high probability developmental delay (Individuals Disabilities Education Improvement Act, 2004). How states define those conditions that initiation varies widely. Lists were collected from state websites and coordinators for descriptive analysis. Across 49 states, District Columbia, 4 territories, final list 620 unique was compiled. No single listed all...
Studying the macro-dynamics of traumatization should significantly advance psychological science. The current article tested validity non-linear threshold model effects cumulative stressors and traumas (CST). We used a combined data set adults adolescents from Egypt, Kuwait, UK (N = 968) that measured CST, internalizing, externalizing thought disorders. cusp catastrophe analysis can identify dynamics. (threshold) accounted for much higher variance than linear model, indicating presence CST...
Although intervening early can improve child and family outcomes when a has developmental disability, most children with delays are not identified prior to school entry. Childcare professionals play key role in identifying early. The monitoring attitudes, knowledge, practice of childcare providers the United States described based on survey data. Findings indicate that commonly monitor development but may do so ways better suited providing care than risk for disability. Most identify...
Schools have become the most common setting for youth to receive additional supports—including access mental health services serving as an entry point identification and subsequent provision of these services. Many schools rely on office discipline referral (ODR) or suspension data informal screeners students who may need supports. Discipline be effective at identifying with externalizing behaviors, yet internalizing behaviors not engage in that warrant ODR suspension. As such, go undetected...
