Live birth prevalence of atrioventricular septal defect after the implementation of new prenatal screening guidelines.

Introduction: In 2004, the Danish Health Authority implemented a new guideline on prenatal screening, offering all pregnant women in Denmark a foetal diagnostic ultrasound scan in the first and second trimester of their pregnancy. One of the diagnoses that may be diagnosed prenatally is congenital heart defect including atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD). AVSD is often associated with Down syndrome (DS).

Moderators of the relation between popularity and depressive symptoms in children: processing strength and friendship value.

Children with low (n = 25) and high (n = 38) peer-rated popularity completed an emotional Stroop task, using negative social words, a self-report measure of friendship value relative to other domains of competence, and the Child Depression Inventory (CDI). Six months later, they completed the CDI again. In regression analyses, after controlling for prior CDI scores, social status interacted significantly with both Stroop and value measures (separate regressions).
