Design, Recruitment, and Implementation of Research Interventions Among Youth Experiencing Homelessness: A Systematic Review.

Transitional age youth experiencing homelessness (TAY-EH) represent an underserved and understudied population. While an increasing number of empirical interventions have sought to address the high burden of psychopathology in this population, findings remain mixed regarding intervention effectiveness. In this systematic review of behavioral health interventions for TAY-EH, we sought to examine the structural framework in which these interventions take place and how these structures include or exclude certain populations of youth.

Different factors identified by stakeholder group for barriers and facilitators to measurement-based care implementation in behavioral health clinics.

Introduction: Despite the benefits of measurement-based care (MBC) in the behavioral health setting, there have been difficulties in implementation and low saturation. Although barriers and facilitators to MBC implementation have been identified, research has generally only included the perspective of one stakeholder group. The current study aims to examine the similarities and differences-by stakeholder group-in the identified barriers to and facilitators of implementing MBC in the behavioral health setting.

Treating Executive Function in Youth With Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: A Review of Pharmacological and Non-Pharmacological Interventions.

Introduction: Executive function (EF) deficits are common in youth with ADHD and pose significant functional impairments. The extent and effect of interventions addressing EF in youth with ADHD remain unclear.

Methods: We conducted a systematic literature review using PRISMA guidelines.

Diagnosing major depressive disorder and substance use disorder using the electronic health record: A preliminary validation study.

Background: One mechanism to examine if major depressive disorder (MDD) is related to the development of substance use disorder (SUD) is by leveraging naturalistic data available in the electronic health record (EHR). Rules for data extraction and variable construction linked to psychometrics validating their use are needed to extract data accurately.

Objective: We propose and validate a methodologic framework for using EHR variables to identify patients with MDD and non-nicotine SUD.

Editorial: Height and Stimulant Treatment in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Youth: Mind the Gap.

In this issue of the Journal, the important story of height and weight issues related to stimulant medication in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is yet again addressed, in the largest study to date. Controversy related to potential growth decrements in youth with ADHD receiving stimulants has been around for decades. In fact, in a quick PubMed search of the literature, we identified more than 100 studies, 15 reviews, and meta-analyses in this area.

Examining the clinical correlates of conduct disorder in youth with bipolar disorder.

Background: Conduct Disorder (CD) is highly comorbid with Bipolar Disorder (BP) and this comorbidity is associated with high morbidity and dysfunction. We sought to better understand the clinical characteristics and familiality of comorbid BP + CD by examining children with BP with and without co-morbid CD.

Methods: 357 subjects with BP were derived from two independent datasets of youth with and without BP.
