Difficulties in Addressing Diagnostic, Treatment and Support Needs in Individuals with Intellectual Disability and Persistent Challenging Behaviours: A Descriptive File Study of Referrals to an Expertise Centre.

Service providers may experience difficulties in providing appropriate care to optimize the functioning of individuals with intellectual disability and challenging behaviour. External consultation to identify and address the unmet support needs underlying the behaviour may be beneficial. Applying the multidimensional American Association Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AAIDD) model may facilitate this approach.

Qualitative study evaluating the expectations and experiences of Dutch parents of children with chronic gastrointestinal symptoms visiting their general practitioner.

Objectives: Chronic gastrointestinal symptoms are common among children and affect their daily activities and quality of life. The majority will be diagnosed with a functional gastrointestinal disorder. Effective reassurance and education are, therefore, key components of the physician's management.

Home-based guided hypnotherapy for children with functional abdominal pain and irritable bowel syndrome in primary care: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial.

Introduction: Children often present to primary care with functional abdominal pain (FAP) or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and around half still have abdominal complaints 1 year later. Hypnotherapy is an evidence-based treatment that is used in specialist care, but it lacks evidence in primary care. This study will investigate the (cost) effectiveness of home-based guided hypnotherapy for children with FAP or IBS in primary care.

Methods: Participants of the INSPIRE-trial, a randomized-controlled trial on running injury prevention, were asked to participate in this study. At baseline, demographic variables were collected.

Educational online prevention programme (the SPRINT study) has no effect on the number of running-related injuries in recreational runners: a randomised-controlled trial.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of an enhanced online injury prevention programme on the number of running-related injuries (RRIs) in recreational runners.

Methods: We conducted a randomised-controlled trial in runners who registered for running events (distances: 10-42.195 km) in the Netherlands.

The socio-economic impact of running-related injuries: A large prospective cohort study.

Objectives: To evaluate the impact of running-related injuries (RRIs) on activities of daily living (ADL), work, healthcare utilization, and estimated costs.

Design: Prospective cohort study with data from a randomized controlled trial.

Methods: Adult recreational runners who registered for a running event (distances 5 to 42 km) were included in this study.

Consequences and Prognosis of Running-Related Knee Injuries Among Recreational Runners.

Objective: To investigate the consequences and prognostic factors of running-related knee injuries (RRKIs) among recreational runners.

Design: Prospective cohort study.

Setting: This study is part of a randomized-controlled trial (RCT) on running injury prevention among recreational runners.

How many runners with new-onset Achilles tendinopathy develop persisting symptoms? A large prospective cohort study.

Background: Achilles tendinopathy (AT) occurs in half of the elite runners. AT is a difficult-to-treat tendon disease, which may progress from new onset to a chronic state. It is unknown how many runners with new-onset AT develop persisting symptoms and which prognostic factors are associated with this course.

Enhanced injury prevention programme for recreational runners (the SPRINT study): design of a randomised controlled trial.

Introduction: Running-related injuries (RRIs) are frequent, but no effective injury prevention measures have been identified yet. Therefore, we have set up the INSPIRE trial in 2017, in which the effectiveness of an online injury prevention programme was tested. Although this programme was not effective in reducing the number of RRIs, we gained new insights from this study, which we used to design an enhanced, online multidisciplinary injury prevention programme.

Training for a (half-)marathon: Training volume and longest endurance run related to performance and running injuries.

Objective: Examine the associations of training volume and longest endurance run with (half-)marathon performance and running-related injuries (RRIs) in recreational runners.

Materials And Methods: During the preparation for and directly after the running event, 556 participants of a half marathon and 441 participants of a marathon completed three questionnaires on RRIs, average weekly training volume and the longest endurance run. With finish time, decline in pace during the running event and RRIs as dependent variables, linear and logistic regression analyses were performed to test the associations with weekly training volume and the longest endurance run.

Incidence of Achilles tendinopathy and associated risk factors in recreational runners: A large prospective cohort study.

Objectives: To determine the incidence of Achilles tendinopathy in a large group of recreational runners and to determine risk factors for developing AT.

Design: Observational cohort study.

Methods: Runners registering for running events (5-42 km) in the Netherlands were eligible for inclusion.

Opinions, Barriers, and Facilitators of Injury Prevention in Recreational Runners.

Background: Effective injury prevention measures for running-related injuries (RRIs) have not yet been identified. More insight into the opinions of runners about injury prevention might help to develop effective injury prevention programs that are supported by the target population.

Objectives: To describe the opinions of recreational runners on different components of injury prevention, and to identify the barriers to and facilitators of injury prevention in adult recreational runners.

Online multifactorial prevention programme has no effect on the number of running-related injuries: a randomised controlled trial.

Objective: To examine the effect of a multifactorial, online injury prevention programme on the number of running-related injuries (RRIs) in recreational runners.

Methods: Adult recreational runners who registered for a running event (distances 5 km up to 42.195 km) were randomised into the intervention group or control group.
