Extending a recent parent mediation efficacy trial, we identified parent reinforcement and relationship behaviors as setting boundary conditions, or moderators, of youth anxiety outcome in 254 youths and their parents, who were randomized to: (1) Cognitive Behavioral Treatment (CBT) with parent reinforcement behavior training (CBT + Reinf); (2) CBT with parent relationship behavior training (CBT + Relat); or (3) individual youth CBT - a comparator control arm. Findings revealed that parents with high baseline negative reinforcement levels and acceptance levels (i.e.

Alternative training targets are executive working memory (EWM) processes that promote flexibility or bolster stability of working memory contents to guide behavior via selective attention. This randomized, placebo-controlled study was designed to assess feasibility, tolerability, and behavioral target engagement of a novel EWM training for ADHD.

- The text emphasizes the importance of researchers in clinical trials to carefully evaluate when to use intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis versus per protocol analysis for accurate outcomes.
- It highlights that while ITT analysis is generally recommended for assessing treatment adherence, it can be misused due to inappropriate questions being posed, misunderstanding noncompletion of treatment, and random assignment violations.
- The authors suggest that future clinical trial designs, especially in child and adolescent research, will likely incorporate hybrid trial elements, merging efficacy, effectiveness, and implementation research, where both ITT and per protocol analyses will be utilized correctly.
Among the many social determinants linked to adolescent alcohol use and depression, racial and ethnic discrimination is a prevalent determinant among Latinx adolescents and adults that is largely overlooked in preventive interventions. This study explored the influence of perceived racial and ethnic discrimination on depressive symptoms and alcohol use intentions among Latinx adolescents.
