Article AbstractObjective: Depression is highly prevalent among illicit drug users, and this co-occurrence associated with poorer treatment outcomes. However, there has been limited empirical attention toward developing assessing behavioral interventions for depression users. The objective of the current study was to test efficacy integrating a brief intervention into standard inpatient substance abuse treatment. Method: Forty-four adult users mild moderate depressive symptoms (Beck...
Although prior research has examined the genetic correlates of antisocial behavior, molecular genetics influences on psychopathic traits remain largely unknown. Consequently, we investigated influence polymorphic variation at serotonin transporter protein gene (SLC6A4) and socioeconomic resources (SES) in youth across two distinct samples separate studies. In Study 1, a main effect (5-HTTLPR) genotype was associated with impulsivity dimension psychopathy. That is, individuals homozygous for...
The study examined discrepancies in mother and child reports of parental knowledge (PK) a child's whereabouts, activities, companions, as well the extent to which PK are related risk-taking behavior concurrently prospectively across two time points. sample consisted 219 early adolescent youth (M age = 11.0, SD .8) dyads. Mother significantly differed and, at both waves, scores on risk taking composite negatively positively discrepancy between reports. A significant interaction was found Wave...
Adolescent alcohol use is associated with myriad adverse consequences and contributes to the leading causes of mortality among youth. Despite magnitude this public health problem, evidenced-based treatment initiatives for disorders in youth remain inadequate. Identifying promising pharmacological approaches may improve options. Naltrexone an opiate receptor antagonist that efficacious reducing drinking adults by attenuating craving rewarding effects alcohol. Implications these findings...
Abstract Although research has been conducted on the course, consequences, and correlates of borderline personality disorder (BPD), little is known about its emergence in childhood, no studies have examined extent to which theoretical models pathogenesis BPD adults are applicable symptoms children. The goal this study was examine interrelationships between two BPD-relevant traits (affective dysfunction disinhibition), self- emotion-regulation deficits, childhood among 263 children aged 9 13....
College freshmen face a variety of academic and social challenges as they adjust to college life that can place them at risk for number negative outcomes, including depression alcohol-related problems. Orientation classes focus on teaching incoming students how better cope with college-oriented stress may provide an opportunity prevent the development these adjustment This article outlines program based behavioral activation be integrated into orientation programs more comprehensive...
Objective: This study outlines the construction and initial psychometric properties of Coronavirus Impact Scale in multiple large diverse samples families with children adolescents. The scale was established to capture impact coronavirus pandemic. Differences between internal structure within were assessed.Method: Five hundred, seventy-two caregivers adolescents or expecting mothers clinical research settings completed Scale. Samples differed developmental stage, background,...
Theoretical models of alcoholism emphasize the acute reinforcing properties alcohol as chief determinants drinking, and animal research suggests adolescents are uniquely sensitive to these effects. Human studies phenomena, however, virtually nonexistent. We used ecological momentary assessment methods capture adolescents' subjective responses in real time their natural environments. Adolescent participants were 22 problem drinkers, ages 15 19 years (M = 18.3, SD 0.09; 55% female; dependent)....
Background Emerging research suggests that genetic influences on adolescent drinking are moderated by environmental factors. The present study builds molecular‐genetic findings conducting the first analysis of gene–environment interactions in association between a functional single nucleotide polymorphism ( SNP ) μ‐opioid receptor OPRM 1 gene A 118 G and risk developing an alcohol use disorder AUD during adolescence. Specifically, we tested whether variation parenting practices or...
Despite a call for the reduction and ultimate elimination of use seclusion restraint, research on these practices in behavioral programs has been limited. This study sought to examine effectiveness modified version Positive Behavioral Interventions Supports (M-PBIS) implemented youth psychiatric inpatient unit reduce restraint.This naturalistic, prospective covered four-year period (1,485 admissions).The number restraint events, mean duration percentage patients placed or were reduced, as...
Researchers have identified the association between use of cocaine and sexual behavior as an important risk factor for HIV infection attempted to elucidate nature this association. Several lines research suggested that facilitation during intoxication with may be because direct pharmacological effects drug (e.g., increase in desire), whereas others pointed importance factors related context opportunities behavior, expectations about drug, social norms). The present study explored perceived...
Tic-suppression-based treatments (TSBTs) represent a safe and effective treatment option for Chronic Tic Disorders (CTDs). Prior research has demonstrated that naive youths with CTDs have the capacity to safely effectively suppress tics prolonged periods. It remains unclear how tic suppression is achieved. The current study principally examines achieved preliminary correlates of ability tics. Twelve youths, ages 10 17 years, moderate-to-marked participated in an alternating sequence freely...
