Objective: Our goal was to develop and pilot a methodology that could reliably identify therapeutic homework tasks that are coherent with the goals of individuals receiving mental health recovery support.
Method: The content of goals and therapeutic homework tasks of 66 clients were classified using the Camberwell Assessment of Need Goal-Action Plan (CAN-GAP) taxonomy. Goal-homework pairs were considered coherent if the content of the homework and goal were both independently assigned the same content domain.
Results: The content of the goals and homework tasks were found to be highly coherent, with a 75% match in categories.
Conclusions And Implications For Practice: It is possible to simply, and reliably, determine whether the content of goals and homework tasks are coherent. Lower coherence would require support workers to spend more time making the connection between homework and goals more explicit. Future research should determine whether higher coherence leads to greater goal attainment. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved).

Article Synopsis
- CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) is effective for treating depression, and the INTERACT platform enhances access through online resources and messaging support between therapists and patients.
- The INTERACT trial involved interviews with patients, therapists, and supervisors to evaluate how this integrated delivery approach worked for managing depression.
- Results showed that online resources improved patient engagement and allowed for reflection, but highlighted challenges in goal-setting and the typing process, indicating a need for clear expectations in therapy.

Current assessment protocols for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) focus heavily on a set of highly overlapping symptoms, with well-validated factors like cognitive disengagement syndrome (CDS), executive function (EF), age, sex, and race and ethnicity generally being ignored. Using machine learning techniques, the current study aimed to validate recent findings proposing a subset of ADHD symptoms that, together, predict ADHD diagnosis, severity, and impairment level better than the full symptom list, while also testing whether the inclusion of the factors listed above could further increase accuracy. Parents of 1,922 children (50.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by patterns of inattention and impulsivity, which lead to difficulties maintaining concentration and motivation while completing academic tasks. University settings, characterized by a high student-to-staff ratio, make treatments relying on human monitoring challenging. One potential replacement is Virtual Reality (VR) technology, which has shown potential to enhance learning outcomes and promote flow experience.

Youth-specific digital mental health interventions (DMHI) represent an emerging field of study, and aim to increase access, improve socioemotional outcomes, and, where required, support triage to targeted interventions. However, prior reviews have reported inconsistent findings on the clinical effectiveness of such interventions in young adults (12-25 years). Further, shortfalls remain for the impact of guided interventions based on the mode of delivery and the type of human support personnel (e.

- The study conducted a three-level meta-analysis to explore how parental homework involvement affects students' academic achievement while addressing inconsistencies in previous research findings.
- An analysis of 28 studies involving over 378,000 participants indicated a weak negative correlation between parental involvement and student achievement, suggesting that more involvement doesn’t necessarily lead to better outcomes.
- The findings highlighted that while autonomy support from parents had a positive impact on student performance, other forms of involvement like content support and parental control showed little to no relationship, suggesting a need for more in-depth research on parent-child homework interactions over time.
