Objective: Anxiety disorders are prevalent among youths and often highly impairing. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is an effective first-line treatment. The authors investigated the brain mechanisms associated with symptom change following CBT. Methods: Unmedicated diagnosed anxiety disorder underwent 12 weeks of CBT as part two randomized clinical trials testing efficacy adjunctive computerized cognitive training. Across both trials, participants completed a threat-processing task...
This study examined the efficacy of Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) in treating oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) youth by comparing this novel treatment to Parent Management Training (PMT), a well-established treatment, and waitlist control (WLC) group. One hundred thirty-four (ages 7–14, 61.9% male, 83.6% White) who fulfilled Diagnostic Statistical Manual Mental Disorders (4th ed.) criteria for ODD were randomized CPS, PMT, or WLC groups. was assessed with semistructured...
Abstract Background Because pediatric anxiety disorders precede the onset of many other problems, successful prediction response to first-line treatment, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), could have a major impact. This study evaluates whether structural and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging can predict post-CBT symptoms. Methods Two datasets were studied: (A) one consisted n = 54 subjects with an diagnosis, who received 12 weeks CBT, (B) 15 treated for 8 weeks....
The current study provides the first replication trial of Bounce Back, a school-based intervention for elementary students exposed to trauma, in different school district and geographical area. Participants this were 52 1st through 4th graders (Mage = 7.76 years; 65% male) who predominately Latino (82%). Schools randomly assigned immediate treatment or waitlist control. Differential effects (Time × Group Interaction) found child-reported posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) parent-reported...
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe the process, analysis, results, and implications a card sorting usability study conducted during planning stages web site redesign project at University Illinois Chicago. Design/methodology/approach methodology was based on recommendations from literature. An open sort with 14 students one faculty member using 93 cards labeled content library's site. subjects were asked “think aloud” explain their rationale for cards. researchers used...
The popularity of customizable Web sites in libraries has increased librarians’ interest supplementing user services with portal technology. open source-software MyLibrary gives the librarian control over resources directed to users based on their interests. University Illinois at Chicago librarians developed My Library as a way streamline access library resources. A usability study designed around common task categories tested participants’ abilities customize personal page, understand...
Libraries are pressed to effectively promote use of the tools they provide users as well their role in creating, selecting, and purchasing them. Applying “brand names” generated within library is one promotional strategy. Usability testing at academic demonstrated how card sorting technique can be used evaluate branding efforts. The study found that do not recognize or comprehend brand names absence a consistent approach even if services have been branded.
This article reports the benefits, challenges, and effective methods of assessing quality virtual references services at an academic library.
Attention bias modification training (ABMT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) likely target different aspects of aberrant threat responses in anxiety disorders may be combined to maximize therapeutic benefit. However, studies investigating the effect ABMT context CBT have yielded mixed results. Here, we propose an enhanced attentional towards threat, addition classic for youth. This integrates modified dot-probe task used previous studies, where a is always presented at location neutral...
Abstract Enhancing screening practices and developing scalable diagnostic tools are imperative in response to the increasing prevalence of youth mental health challenges. Structured lay psychiatric interviews have emerged as one such promising tool. However, there remains limited research evaluating structured interviews, specifically their characterization internalizing disorders treatment-seeking youth. This study evaluates relationship between Development Well-Being Assessment (DAWBA), a...
Objective: Despite the advances in field of neuroscience, many questions remain regarding mechanisms anxiety, as well moderators treatment outcome. Long-term adverse outcomes for anxious youth may relate to pathophysiologically based information processing patterns and self-referential beliefs, such self-efficacy. In fact, there are no studies highlighting relationship between self-efficacy neurocircuitry youth. The purpose this study was explore relationships self-efficacy, brain...
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to show how an academic library added access points its digital reference service outside traditional web pages (e.g. online catalog, subscription databases). It seeks determine whether, how, and what extent these were used by patrons. Design/methodology/approach Almost 1,200 chat, e‐mail, instant message transactions examined. data collected included: status user; format which questions submitted (chat, IM); subject area the question; type question,...
Anxiety disorders are among the most common psychiatric in childhood and can develop as early preschool years. Therefore, providing young children who display signs of anxiety with skills to prevent development later psychopathology is invaluable.

Abstract Background Because pediatric anxiety disorders precede the onset of many other problems, successful prediction response to first-line treatment, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), could have major impact. However, existing clinical models are weakly predictive. The current study evaluates whether structural and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging can predict post-CBT symptoms. Methods Two datasets were studied: (A) one consisted n=54 subjects with an diagnosis, who...
