Having more resilience factors only gets you so far in the context of neighborhood disadvantage: understanding differential predictors of internalizing symptoms and body mass index in youth with spina bifida.

Objective: The primary aim of this study was to determine if neighborhood disadvantage predicted internalizing symptoms and body mass index (BMI) in youth with spina bifida (SB), while accounting for several sociodemographic factors. We also explored whether resilience factors helped explain associations between neighborhood disadvantage and internalizing symptoms or neighborhood disadvantage and BMI.

Methods: Participants (n = 69, Mage=14.

Quality of Life in Youth Soccer Players After Mild Traumatic Brain Injury.

Context: Pediatric mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBIs) represent an evolving field of interest in youth athletics. Although most players recover within 4 weeks, some have symptoms that last longer. Little is known about youth health-related quality of life (HRQoL) after mTBI.

Cognitive disengagement syndrome in pediatric spina bifida.

The primary aim of this study was to characterize Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome (CDS) symptomatology in youth with spina bifida (SB). One hundred and sixty-nine patients aged 5-19 years old were drawn from clinical cases seen through a multidisciplinary outpatient SB clinic at a children's hospital between 2017 and 2019. Parent-reported CDS and inattention were measured using Penny's Sluggish Cognitive Tempo Scale and the Vanderbilt ADHD Rating Scale.

Child, Parent, and Family Adjustment for Patients Followed in a Multidisciplinary Spina Bifida Clinic.

Objectives: To characterize child, parent, and family adjustment for patients followed in a multidisciplinary spina bifida (SB) clinic.

Methods: Participants were drawn from clinical cases seen through a multidisciplinary outpatient SB clinic at a children's hospital between 2017 and 2019. Participants included 209 youth under 19 years old who were diagnosed with SB and their parents.

Concussion Symptom Treatment and Education Program: A Feasibility Study.

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and potential benefits of a manualized, brief cognitive-behavioral therapy-based intervention program for children and adolescents with persistent postconcussive symptoms.

Setting: Two outpatient pediatric concussion programs in the United States.

Participants: Patients aged 8 to 17 years who sustained concussions between 2 and 12 months prior to enrollment.

Effectiveness of an intensive outpatient program for disruptive children: initial findings.

There are currently no manualized, intensive outpatient programs (IOP), for diagnostically heterogeneous pediatric samples that simultaneously intervene with youth and parents. Such a program was developed and has been operating at Children's Hospital Colorado since January 2006. The current study was conducted to characterize the patient sample and evaluate clinical outcomes for this novel program.
