OBJECTIVE: To design and evaluate an office-based intervention aimed at maintaining parent-adolescent teamwork in diabetes management tasks without increasing diabetes-related family conflict. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: There were 85 patients (aged 10-15 years, mean 12.6 years) with type 1 (mean duration 5.5 years; HbA1c 8.5%) who randomly assigned to one of three study groups--teamwork, attention control, standard care--and followed for 24 months. At each visit, parent involvement insulin...
Abstract In spite of repeated calls for research and interventions to overcome individual systemic barriers psychological treatments, little is known about the nature these barriers. To develop a measure perceived treatment (PBPT), items derived from 260 participants were administered 658 primary care patients. Exploratory factor analysis on half sample resulted in 8 factors, which supported by confirmatory conducted other half. Associations generally criterion validity PBPT scales, with...

Among interested some form behavioral treatment, 91.9% would consider face-to-face compared to 62.4% for 48.0% care. Symptom severity was unrelated delivery medium. Interest specific...
An objective, laboratory-based diagnostic tool could increase the accuracy of major depressive disorders (MDDs), identify factors that characterize patients and promote individualized therapy.

Patients received cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) clinical assessment using self-reported depression Patient...
Identifying factors associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection among health care workers (HCWs) may help systems optimize SARS-CoV-2 control strategies.We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of baseline data from the Northwestern HCW Serology Cohort Study. We used Abbott Architect Nucleocapsid IgG assay to determine seropositivity. Logistic regression models (adjusted for demographics and self-reported community exposure disease 2019 [COVID-19])...
Summary In this article some of the literature on children's responses to natural and person-created trauma are discussed. addition, data relevant posttraumatic response as a result exposure interparental violence presented. Using factor analytic procedure, study attempted examine how DSM-IV symptom clusters for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder come together sample children. General suggestions made regarding possible intervention with exposed children experiencing symptoms.
Depression during adolescence is common but can be prevented. Behavioral intervention technologies (BITs) designed to prevent depression in adolescence, especially standalone web-based interventions, have shown mixed outcomes, likely due poor adherence. BIT research involving adults has that the presence of coaches or peers promotes use. Developmentally, a time when peer-based social relationships take precedence. This study examines whether peer-networked support may promote adherence BITs...

The study aims to gather information about the feasibility acceptability this program. Secondary were examine impact program symptoms, perceived stress, positive affect, use compare differences between groups that led by peer versus...
