Abstract This study examined the latent structure of psychiatric disorders in a sample with high prevalence PTSD. A series confirmatory factor analyses tested competing models for covariation between Structured Clinical Interview DSM‐III‐R diagnoses among 1,325 Vietnam veterans. The best‐fitting solution was 3‐factor model that included two correlated internalizing factors: anxious‐misery, defined by PTSD and major depression, fear, panic disorder/agoraphobia obsessive‐compulsive disorder....
This study aimed to obtain preliminary evidence for the extent which a novel intervention embedded within systems-oriented treatment model [trauma systems therapy (TST)] engages and retains traumatized children their families in treatment. Twenty youth who had prominent symptoms of posttraumatic stress were randomly assigned receive TST or care as usual (CAU). At 3-month assessment, 90% participants still treatment, whereas only 10% CAU remained. Within-group analyses demonstrated...
This study tracked the clinical course of 124 children receiving trauma systems therapy (TST). In addition, exploratory analyses compared hospitalization rates before and after implementation model comparative cost savings were estimated. Children ages 3–20 who experienced potentially traumatic events received TST intervention. Measures course, children’s psychiatric psychosocial functioning, social-environmental stability taken at intake, 4–6 months, 12–15 months. Exploratory evaluated by...

Copy number variability at 16p13.11 has been associated with intellectual disability, autism, schizophrenia, epilepsy, and attention‐deficit hyperactivity disorder. Adolescent/adult‐ onset psychosis reported in a subset of these cases. Here, we report on two children CNVs that developed before the age 7. The genotype neuropsychiatric abnormalities patients highlight several overlapping genes have possible mechanistic relevance to pathways previously implicated Autism Spectrum Disorders,...
Clinicians and caregivers rely on milestone checklists as tools for tracking a child's development. In addition, medical students residents use to learn about normal child However, there are multiple published that vary qualitatively in structure content, hindering their effective developmental surveillance education. This project systematically evaluated the consistency variability between commonly used checklists.
Objective: To describe bullying experiences throughout childhood of people with and without ADHD co-occurring learning psychiatric disorders from a population-based birth cohort. Methods: In secondary data analysis 199 cases 287 non-ADHD referents ( N = 486), reported peer interactions during elementary, middle, or high school were classified as “bully,” “victim,” “neither,” “both.” Associations assessed multinomial logistic regression. Results: Adjusted for male sex, the odds classification...
The relative difference of resting EEG frontal alpha activation between left and right hemispheres (FAA; i.e., asymmetry) correlates with global approach avoidance tendencies. FAA may relate to problems executive affective functioning in children neurodevelopmental differences, including autism ADHD. We (1) characterize vs. autistic, ADHD, neurotypical (NT) (2) investigate whether predicts "hot" function or emotion dysregulation. Participants were 97 7- 11-year-old NT Children. Children ADHD...
While positive contributions of religion and spirituality (R/S) to quality life (QOL) are confirmed by a growing body evidence, only limited research has involved people with intellectual disabilities so far, no studies included prelingually deaf individuals disabilities. This study explores the role R/S in deafness living three therapeutic communities specifically adapted their needs.Forty-one (mean age: 46.93 years, 43.9% female) prelingual mild moderate disability participated structured...
Abstract: Objective: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis relies on clinical observation and documentation, but the presence of comorbidities can affect diagnostic validity across clinicians exacerbate access to timely care. This study used latent class analysis optimize subgroup identification based functional level associated using Behavior Assessment System for Children, Third Edition (BASC-3), Vineland Adaptive Scales, (Vineland-3), in a pediatric population referred autism...

Aim Previous research has demonstrated a strong association between early trauma exposure and the development of psychotic symptoms. However, few these studies have included young adolescents children. This study investigated rates number potentially traumatic experiences (PTEs) among typically developing youth (TD; n = 21), at clinical high risk for psychosis (CHR; 38), with disorder (PD; 28) 7 18 years age. CHR participants were further evaluated to determine whether history PTEs was...
