An Exploratory Analysis of Domestic and Intimate Partner Violence Victimization Among Persons Experiencing Eviction.

A paucity of research has examined the prevalence of domestic and intimate partner violence (DV/IPV) victimization among persons experiencing eviction. The current study uses administrative records for a random sample of evicted adults in Omaha, Nebraska from 2017 to 2019 ( = 306) to assess the prevalence of DV/IPV victimization among evicted persons and differences among the DV/IPV and no DV/IPV groups. Findings indicated over 20% of evicted persons experienced DV/IPV victimization, and DV/IPV often preceded the first eviction.

A diffusion decision model analysis of the cognitive effects of neurofeedback for ADHD.

Objective: To examine cognitive effects of neurofeedback (NF) for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) as a secondary outcome of a randomized clinical trial.

Method: In a double-blind randomized clinical trial (NCT02251743), 133 7-10-year olds with ADHD received either 38 sessions of NF ( = 78) or control treatment ( = 55) and performed an integrated visual and auditory continuous performance test at baseline, mid- and end-treatment. We used the diffusion decision model to decompose integrated visual and auditory continuous performance test performance at each assessment into cognitive components: efficiency of integrating stimulus information (), context sensitivity (), response cautiousness (), response bias (), and nondecision time for perceptual encoding and response execution ().

Impact of an Asynchronous Training for the Early Intervention and Childcare Workforce Addressing the Developmental Impact of the Opioid Crisis on Young Children.

Objectives: The US opioid epidemic contributes to a growing population of children experiencing neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). A review of the developmental impacts of the opioid crisis highlights that both prenatal exposure to teratogens and ACEs can result in developmental delay and disabilities. Training for the early intervention/early childhood (EI) systems is needed to enable them to meet the needs of this growing population.

Cognitive markers for efficacy of neurofeedback for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder - personalized medicine using computational psychiatry in a randomized clinical trial.

Background: Exploring whether cognitive components (identified by baseline cognitive testing and computational modeling) moderate clinical outcome of neurofeedback (NF) for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Method: 142 children (aged 7-10) with ADHD were randomly assigned to either NF ( = 84) or control treatment ( = 58) in a double-blind clinical trial (NCT02251743). The NF group received live, self-controlled downtraining of electroencephalographic theta/beta ratio power.

College students and cyberbullying: how social media use affects social anxiety and social comparison.

Cyberbullying is defined as aggression intending to inflict harm on others by electronic communication technologies. Cyberbullying has become more common as social media has grown and is accompanied by negative mental health consequences. Research on cyberbullying and mental health in adolescents suggests cyberbullying victimization moderates the relationship between social comparison and social anxiety, but little is known about this phenomenon in college students.

For Which Children with ADHD is TBR Neurofeedback Effective? Comorbidity as a Moderator.

We examined psychiatric comorbidities moderation of a 2-site double-blind randomized clinical trial of theta/beta-ratio (TBR) neurofeedback (NF) for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Seven-to-ten-year-olds with ADHD received either NF (n = 84) or Control (n = 58) for 38 treatments. Outcome was change in parent-/teacher-rated inattention from baseline to end-of-treatment (acute effect), and 13-month-follow-up.

EEG Connectivity in ADHD Compared to a Normative Database: A Cohort Analysis of 120 Subjects from the ICAN Study.

This study explores how EEG connectivity measures in children with ADHD ages 7-10 (n = 140) differ from an age-matched nonclinical database. We differentiated connectivity in networks, Brodmann area pairs, and frequencies. Subjects were in the International Collaborative ADHD Neurofeedback study, which explored neurofeedback for ADHD.

Characterizing Underlying Cognitive Components of ADHD Presentations and Co-morbid Diagnoses: A Diffusion Decision Model Analysis.

Objective: To Explore whether subtypes and comorbidities of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) induce distinct biases in cognitive components involved in information processing.

Method: Performance on the Integrated Visual and Auditory Continuous Performance Test (IVA-CPT) was compared between 150 children (aged 7 to 10) with ADHD, grouped by DSM-5 presentation (ADHD-C, ADHD-I) or co-morbid diagnoses (anxiety, oppositional defiant disorder [ODD], both, neither), and 60 children without ADHD. Diffusion decision modeling decomposed performance into cognitive components.

Moderators of Treatment for Pediatric Bipolar Spectrum Disorders.

: We review the current limited research on pediatric bipolar spectrum disorder (BPSD) treatment moderators.. Four pharmacotherapy and nine psychotherapy moderator studies in youth with pediatric BPSD is summarized.

Vitamin D levels in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: Association with seasonal and geographical variation, supplementation, inattention severity, and theta:beta ratio.

We examined seasonal and geographic effects on vitamin D [25(OH)D] levels, association with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptom severity, and effects of supplementation in 222 children age 7-10 with rigorously diagnosed ADHD. 25(OH)D insufficiency rates were 47.2 % in Ohio and 28.

Moody kids years later: Long-term outcomes of youth from the Omega-3 and therapy (OATS) studies.

Background: This naturalistic follow-up study examines outcomes for youth with depression (n = 25) or subsyndromal bipolar disorder (n = 13) 2-5 years after participation in randomized clinical trials (RCTs) of omega-3 fatty acids (Ω3), individual family psychoeducational psychotherapy (IF-PEP), and their combination METHODS: Forty percent (38/95) of RCT families completed a follow-up assessment RESULTS: Relapse rates and conversion to bipolar disorder were consistent with published literature. Original treatment assignment did not impact current functioning. Overall, participants' mood severity, executive functioning, and global functioning continued to be better than at RCT baseline.

Different Spectral Analysis Methods for the Theta/Beta Ratio Calculate Different Ratios But Do Not Distinguish ADHD from Controls.

There has been ongoing research on the ratio of theta to beta power (Theta/Beta Ratio, TBR) as an EEG-based test in the diagnosis of ADHD. Earlier studies reported significant TBR differences between patients with ADHD and controls. However, a recent meta-analysis revealed a marked decline of effect size for the difference in TBR between ADHD and controls for studies published in the past decade.

Heterogeneity in patterns of DSM-5 posttraumatic stress disorder and depression symptoms: Latent profile analyses.

Background: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression co-occur frequently following the experience of potentially traumatizing events (PTE; Morina et al., 2013). A person-centered approach to discern heterogeneous patterns of such co-occurring symptoms is recommended (Galatzer-Levy and Bryant, 2013).
