Using an integrative developmental model, this study revisited the "immigrant paradox" in early behavioral development, differentiating immigrant background from race and examining the role of family processes (family structure, stability, racial/ethnic socialization) in disparities between immigrant and U.S.-origin children. Growth-curve analyses on a sample of children aged 5-7 ( = 12,520) from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Kindergarten class of 2010-2011 data set revealed distinct behavioral trajectories based on parental country of origin. Some groups outperformed the racially matched U.S.-origin peers by improving faster (internalizing behaviors: Salvadoran) or maintaining their advantages (internalizing: Mexican, Dominican; externalizing: Mexican, Salvadoran, Guatemalan, South American, and Dominican), while others faced continued challenges (externalizing behaviors: Japanese, Thai) or exhibited a nuanced pattern such as beginning with an advantage but deteriorating faster (internalizing: Cuban). The time-varying, country-of-origin-specific family processes fully or partly explained some disparities (except for Asian), emphasizing the need for a sociocultural understanding of the distinct strengths and limitations in racial-ethnic minority families. This contextualized knowledge is crucial for promoting healthy child development. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

Purpose: Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are tasked with integrating the principles of evidence-based practice (EBP) to provide effective and efficient assessment and intervention services that best support clients and their families. As new research, technologies, and perspectives emerge, SLPs are required to adapt their clinical practices to meet these changes while maintaining high-quality evidence-based services. Through an illustrative case study, we aim to demonstrate the process of applying EBP principles - including research evidence, client and family perspectives, and clinical expertise - to a complexity-based speech sound intervention delivered via telepractice.

a member of the family, is known for its diverse biological activities, including anti-inflammatory properties. The mechanisms through which polysaccharide (LTP) induces autophagy, however, remain largely unexplored. This study aims to elucidate the role of LTP in autophagy induction and its efficacy in mitigating inflammation within macrophages.

Background: Irritability affects up to 20% of youth and is a primary reason for referral to pediatric mental health clinics. Irritability is thought to be associated with disruptions in processing of reward, threat, and cognitive control; however, empirical study of these associations at both the behavioral and neural level have yielded equivocal findings that may be driven by small sample sizes and differences in study design. Associations between irritability and brain connectivity between cognitive control and reward- or threat-processing circuits remain understudied.

Patient engagement and shared decision-making (SDM) between patients and clinicians is the foundation of patient-centered care. It aims to reach a treatment option that fits the patient's preference and is guideline-concordant. We sought to evaluate the possible causes and outcomes of patient's non-guideline-concordant care choices.
