The Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCDQ) is a parent-completed measure designed to identify subtle motor problems in children of 8 14.6 years age. purpose this study was extend the lower age range aged 5 7 years, revise items ensure clarity, develop new scoring, and evaluate validity revised questionnaire. Additional with improved wording were generated by an expert panel. Analyses internal consistency, factor loading, qualitative/quantitative feedback from researchers,...
Abstract Objective. As the consequences of clumsiness in childrenbecome better understood, need for valid measurement tools is apparent. Parent report has thepotential providing historical knowledge child’s motor skills, as well perceptions their children’s difficulties. Theobjective was to develop a parent questionnaire identifymotor difficulties children. Method. A sample 306 children participated development 17-item questionnaire, called Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire...
Abstract Dispositional traits and life narratives represent two different levels of personality that have not previously been empirically linked. The current study tested five hypotheses connecting Big‐Five to life‐narrative indices emotional tone, theme, structure. Students (Study 1) adults 2) completed a self‐report measure the provided extended written accounts either ten (students) or eight (adults) key scenes, including high points, low turning points. Content analysis narrative data...
Over the last decade, there has been an enormous increase in number of studies evaluating overlap developmental syndromes or disorders both children and adults. This symptoms is often referred to as comorbidity, a term we criticize this article because its unsubstantiated presumption independent etiologies. The premise that discrete categories do not exist real life, it misleading refer overlapping "comorbidities." We illustrate our point by presenting data from 179 school-age evaluated with...

Abstract The Alberta Pregnancy Outcomes and Nutrition (APrON) study is an ongoing prospective cohort that recruits pregnant women early in pregnancy and, as of 2012, following up their infants to 3 years age. It has currently enrolled approximately 5000 Canadians (2000 women, offspring many partners). primary aims the APrON were determine relationships between maternal nutrient intake status, before, during after gestation, (1) mood; (2) birth obstetric outcomes; (3) infant neurodevelopment....

The clinical epidemiology neonatal hemorrhagic stroke (NHS) remains undefined, hindering development strategies to improve outcomes.To characterize incidence, types, presentations, associated factors, outcomes stroke.Population-based, nested case-control study.

Abstract Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) of parents are associated with a variety negative health outcomes in offspring. Little is known about the mechanisms by which ACEs transmitted to next generation. Given that maternal depression and anxiety related negatively affect children’s behaviour, these exposures may be pathways between child psychopathology. Child sex modify associations. Our objectives were determine: (1) association (2) whether symptoms prenatal postnatal mediate...
Recent studies suggest that effective social support during pregnancy may buffer adverse effects of maternal psychological distress on fetal development. The mechanisms whereby confers this protective advantage, however, remain to be clarified. aim study was assess whether individual differences in alter the covariation and cortisol pregnancy.Eighty-two pregnant women's were prospectively assessed all three trimesters using an ecological momentary assessment strategy. Appraisal partner each...
We live in a transformational moment for understanding the etiology of mental disorders. The previous leap occurred 60 years ago, which led us to incorporate psychopharmacology into our curricula address chemical basis neurotransmitter function, especially as explained through then-popular catecholamine hypothesis. current revolution is broader, consisting rapidly accumulating knowledge how inflammation, microbiome imbalance (gut dysbiosis), oxidative stress, and impaired mitochondrial...
Abstract Effective implementation of artificial intelligence in behavioral healthcare delivery depends on overcoming challenges that are pronounced this domain. Self and social stigma contribute to under-reported symptoms, under-coding worsens ascertainment. Health disparities algorithmic bias. Lack reliable biological clinical markers hinders model development, explainability impede trust among users. In perspective, we describe these discuss design recommendations overcome them intelligent...
