Objective: The present study, conducted with a population of military families, examined the comparative effectiveness of three program formats of Adaptive Parenting Tools (ADAPT), a parenting program for families of school-aged children in which a National Guard or Reserve (NG/R) parent had returned from deployment to the post-9/11 conflicts. Despite well-documented need, parenting programs for NG/R families are scarce and often inaccessible. We predicted that both facilitator-delivered conditions (i.e., in-person group; individual telehealth) would result in stronger improvements in observed parenting than assignment to the online self-directed condition. We further proposed a noninferiority hypothesis wherein no significant difference would be detected between telehealth and group conditions.
Method: Families ( = 244; 87% Caucasian) were recruited from NG/R units in two midwestern states. Families (with a 5-12-year-old child) were randomized to one of three conditions: in-person multifamily group, individual telehealth, or an online, self-directed condition. The intervention was delivered using the same content across conditions, over 14 weeks (group, telehealth conditions) or 12 modules (online condition); either or both parents could participate.
Results: Intent-to-treat analyses supported both hypotheses: families in both in-person group and telehealth conditions showed significant improvements to observed parenting at 1-year postbaseline compared with those assigned to the self-directed online condition.
Conclusions: This is the first study to demonstrate that in-person group and telehealth parenting programs are equally effective and that both are superior to a self-directed online program. Limitations include differences between the session lengths in each format, as well as greater attrition in the in-person format. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

Background: Chronic respiratory diseases are important causes of disability and mortality globally. Their incidence may be higher in remote locations where healthcare is limited and risk factors, such as smoking and indoor air pollution, are more prevalent. E-health could overcome some healthcare access obstacles in remote locations, but its utilisation has been limited.

Article Synopsis
- Stroke rehabilitation is increasingly needed worldwide, but there's limited evidence comparing telerehabilitation to in-person care.
- A study found that patients with stroke who participated in telerehabilitation showed greater improvements in functional ambulation compared to those who received in-person rehabilitation.
- Despite similar ambulation efficiency between the groups, telerehabilitation emerged as a promising alternative for individuals with moderate stroke severity, especially for those living with a partner at home.

Background: Genetic variants that confer protection from Alzheimer's disease (AD) may be particularly critical in developing therapeutics. To target protective variant identification, we performed genetic association testing among selected individuals with whole genome sequencing (WGS) that remained alive and dementia-free beyond age 85 ("Wellderly").
Methods: We selected 1,873 White and Black Wellderly individuals with documented normal cognition beyond age 85 as determined by direct, in-person assessment with WGS from the NHLBI TOPMed project.
Background: Self-administered cognitive assessments demonstrate usability and ability to detect cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease, but usability in other neurodegenerative diseases is understudied. We investigated whether Mayo Test Drive (MTD), a self-administered multi-device compatible cognitive assessment platform, demonstrates usability and correlation with traditional neuropsychological tests in a pilot study of individuals with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP).
Method: Eleven individuals with PSP (mean age = 69.

Background: Several sets of diagnostic criteria have been published for vascular cognitive disorders (VCD) since the 1960s. The International Society for Vascular Behavioral and Cognitive Disorders (VASCOG) working group published a comprehensive and operationalized criteria set in 2014. Considering the significant developments in the field in the last decade, an international expert group was commissioned to revise these criteria using the Delphi process.
