<h3>Importance</h3> Reported increases in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) diagnoses are accompanied by growing debate about the underlying factors. Although overdiagnosis is often suggested, no comprehensive evaluation of evidence for or against has ever been undertaken and urgently needed to enable evidence-based, patient-centered diagnosis treatment ADHD contemporary health services. <h3>Objective</h3> To systematically identify, appraise, synthesize on children adolescents...
It is common practice to augment efficacious treatment protocols for special populations (Durlak & DuPre, 2008), but this often done before establishing that standard services are not appropriate. In randomized controlled trial with families at risk or a history of maltreatment ( N = 151), we investigated the effectiveness 12-session Parent–Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). This in contrast other PCIT studies similar parents, which have allowed longer and sometimes variable length...
In a randomized controlled trial, the effectiveness of Parent–Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) and correlates maltreatment outcomes were examined. Mothers ( N = 150) had history or at high risk maltreating their children. After 12 weeks compared to waitlist, PCIT mothers observed have improved parent–child interactions reported better child behavior decreased stress. At completion, improvements continued less abuse potential maternal sensitivity. Also, completers likely be notified welfare...
Children with co-occurring conduct problems and callous-unemotional (CU) traits show a distinct pattern of early starting, chronic, aggressive antisocial behaviors that are resistant to traditional parent-training interventions. The aim this study was examine in an open trial the acceptability initial outcomes novel adaptation Parent–Child Interaction Therapy, called PCIT-CU, designed target 3 deficits children CU traits. Twenty-three Australian families 3- 6-year-old (M age = 4.5 years, SD...
#### Summary box Prevalence and prescribing rates for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have risen steeply over the past decade, partly in response to concerns about underdiagnosis undertreatment.1 2 But although clinicians become better …

Objective This study aimed investigate uptake Australian Government’s COVIDSafe app among Australians examine reasons why some have not downloaded app. Methods An online national survey, with representative quotas age gender, was...
Diagnostic labels may influence treatment intentions. We examined the effect of labelling low back pain (LBP) on beliefs about imaging, surgery, second opinion, seriousness, recovery, work, and physical activities.Six-arm online randomized experiment with blinded participants without LBP. Participants received one six labels: 'disc bulge', 'degeneration', 'arthritis', 'lumbar sprain', 'non-specific LBP', 'episode pain'. The primary outcome was belief need for imaging.A total 1375 (mean [SD]...
Objectives: To develop a thematic framework for the range of consequences arising from diagnostic label an individual, family/caregiver, healthcare professional, and community perspective. Design: Systematic scoping review qualitative studies. Search Strategy: We searched PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, Cochrane, CINAHL primary studies syntheses that explore labelling non-cancer diagnoses. Reference lists included were screened, forward citation searches undertaken. Study Selection: peer reviewed...
Importance Appropriate diagnosis of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can improve some short-term outcomes in children and adolescents, but little is known about the association a with their quality life (QOL). Objective To compare QOL adolescents without an ADHD diagnosis. Design, Setting, Participants This cohort study followed emulated target trial design using prospective, observational data from Longitudinal Study Australian Children, representative, population-based...
Journal clubs (JC) may increase clinicians’ evidence-based practice (EBP) skills and facilitate evidence uptake in clinical practice, however there is a lack of research into their effectiveness allied health. We investigated the structured JC that Tailored According to Research Evidence And Theory (TREAT) improving EBP compared standard format for health professionals. Concurrently, we explored feasibility implementing TREAT JCs healthcare setting, by evaluating participating perceptions...
An online randomised experiment found that the labels lumbar sprain, non-specific low back pain (LBP), and episode of reduced perceived need for imaging, surgery second opinions compared to disc bulge, degeneration, arthritis among 1447 participants with without LBP. They also seriousness LBP increased recovery expectations.In this study we report results a content analysis free-text data collected in our experiment. We used two questions: 1. When you hear term [one six labels], what words...
Cancer screening policies and programmes should take account of public values concerns. This study sought to determine the priorities, concerns men who were 'fully informed' about benefits harms prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening; empirically examine value a community jury in eliciting on PSA screening.
Abstract Background Opportunities for community members to actively participate in policy development are increasing. Community/citizen's juries ( CJ s) a deliberative democratic process aimed illicit informed perspectives on difficult topics. But how comprehensive these processes reported peer‐reviewed literature is unknown. Adequate reporting of methodology enables others judge quality, compare outcomes, facilitate critical reflection and potentially repeat process. We identify important...
