- The study emphasizes the importance of considering factors like access to treatments, adherence, response rates, and side effects in selecting the most effective SAD treatment for patients in Brazil.
Article Synopsis
- - The study introduces the "Assessment of Reading and Executive Functions" (AREF), a new tool designed to evaluate crucial executive function skills related to reading, such as inhibitory control and working memory, highlighting its initial validity and reliability across four subtests
- - Involving 93 students from both public and private schools (grades 4-9), the study compared AREF scores with other reading and cognitive measures to establish external construct validity, also examining performance variations between school types and grade levels
- - Results showed significant correlations between AREF subtest scores and both reading and executive function metrics, while differences in performance were identified between public and private school students, along with varying internal consistency levels among AREF tasks
