Relative Efficacy of Internet-based and Face-to-face Behavioural Parent Training for Parents of Children with Attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder: a Non-randomised Controlled Trial.

Background/objective: Behavioural Parent Training (BPT) is an evidence-based psychosocial intervention for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children. The use of online technologies significantly increases the accessibility of these interventions. This study aimed to assess the relative efficacy of face-to-face and online training in the use of parenting strategies taught.

The discrepancies in parent and teacher reports of children's behavioral inhibition provide domain-specific information about psychopathology and parenting.

Introduction: Behavioral inhibition is a temperamental factor that increases the risk of internalizing disorders. Therefore, the identification of highly inhibited children is of great importance. However, informant discrepancies make this process difficult.

Association Between Psychological Distress and Coping Styles in Family Caregivers of People with Intellectual Disability or Chronic Mental Disorder in Mongolia.

Unlabelled: Around the world, family caregivers are an important source of support for people with intellectual disability (ID) and for those with severe mental disorder (SMD), although the level of support can be influenced by the culture and government healthcare systems in each country. However, there is little evidence about the mental health and coping mechanisms of these caregivers in low-income countries. To address this need, we aimed to elicit whether there are potential links between coping style, mental health, and perceived burden experienced by this group, using a sample from a central Asian upper middle-income country.

One-year ecological momentary assessment of alcohol use, mood, and stress among individuals with alcohol use disorder during SARS-CoV-2 pandemics: a gender-specific reflection.

Alcohol consumption (AC) is a leading risk factor for death, morbidity, and disability worldwide. Gender-specific differences in AC and its moderators, which may serve as markers for preventing severe alcohol use disorders (AUD), showed inconsistent results. Additionally, the impact of COVID-19-related lockdowns on these differences remains unclear.

Decrease in decision noise from adolescence into adulthood mediates an increase in more sophisticated choice behaviors and performance gain.

Learning and decision-making undergo substantial developmental changes, with adolescence being a particular vulnerable window of opportunity. In adolescents, developmental changes in specific choice behaviors have been observed (e.g.

Claudin-5 and occludin levels in patients with psychiatric disorders - A systematic review.

Background: Recent research has underscored the critical role of blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity in psychiatric disorders, highlighting disruptions in tight junction (TJ) proteins, specifically claudin-5 and occludin. These proteins are pivotal in maintaining the BBB's selective permeability, which is essential forbrain homeostasis. Altered levels of the TJ proteins have been observed in various psychiatric conditions, suggesting potential as biomarkers for the pathophysiology of these disorders.

An investigation of the Bernstein's strengths Scale: factorial validity and network analysis of attention-deficit/hyperactivity symptoms, mental health, and the strengths of the healthy adult self.

Background: Bernstein's heuristic model of personal strengths describes 16 positive attributes of the healthy adult self, grouped into four higher-order factors: self-directedness (identity, self-reflection, self-confidence, self-assertion, imagination/creativity), self-regulation (emotional balance, resilience, self-control, self-care, reality testing), connection (empathy, compassion, humour, responsibility), and transcendence (gratitude and wisdom). The study aimed to explore the factorial validity of Bernstein's Strengths Scale developed for the assessment of these constructs. Furthermore, we explored the association of strengths with attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD) symptoms and mental health in a nonclinical sample using a network approach.

"A way to liberate myself": A qualitative study of perceived benefits and risks of chemsex among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men in Almaty, Kazakhstan.

Background: In Kazakhstan, the HIV epidemic has a significant impact on marginalized groups such as gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM), exacerbated by homophobic attitudes (in society) and (resulting) minority stress. This stress often leads to coping behaviors such as chemsex - the use of synthetic stimulants to enhance sexual experiences. Our study explores the motivations and perceived risks associated with chemsex among GBMSM in Almaty.

Health care costs of incident ADHD in children and adolescents in Germany - A claims data analysis within the framework of the consortium project INTEGRATE-ADHD.

Background: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is associated with increased costs for the family, the health care system and the society. Previous cost-of-illness studies in Germany usually focused on prevalent ADHD. This study addressed the research gap on health care resource utilisation and costs of children and adolescents with incident ADHD diagnosis using nationwide claims data from the statutory health insurance DAK-Gesundheit.

ADHD in children and adolescents: Guideline-based online assessment in the consortium project INTEGRATE-ADHD.

Background: The consortium project INTEGRATE-ADHD compared administrative data on the presence of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children and adolescents with the results of a parent survey and a comprehensive clinical assessment based on the S3 guideline of the Association of the Scientific Medical Societies in Germany (AWMF). Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the clinical assessment was carried out online.

Methods: The article describes how a guideline-based clinical assessment of ADHD can be implemented in an online setting.

When do parents report their child's administrative ADHD diagnosis? A utilisation-based analysis from the consortium project INTEGRATE-ADHD.

Background: This article examines discrepancies in the frequency of diagnoses of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children and adolescents in Germany using information on health care utilisation from both administrative and parent-reported survey data linked at person level.

Methods: 5,461 parents of 0- to 17-year-olds insured with DAK-Gesundheit in 2020 and being registered with a confirmed administrative ADHD diagnosis (ICD-10 F90.0-9) in at least one quarter in 2020 (M1Q criterion) were surveyed online on their child's ADHD diagnosis, utilisation of specialist care and therapeutic service providers.

Risk and protective factors associated with health-related quality of life in children and adolescents with ADHD in Germany - Findings from the consortium project INTEGRATE-ADHD.

Background: The health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of individuals living with Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is known to be impaired. Identifying factors that influence HRQoL can provide important information for the development of prevention and intervention programmes for affected children and adolescents. The aim of the present study was to investigate health care-related and psychosocial risk and protective factors for HRQoL in children and adolescents with an administrative ADHD diagnosis.

Stressors during the prodromal phase of major depressive episode (CHR-D).

Introduction: Early recognition and indicated prevention is a promising approach to decrease the incidence of Major depressive episodes (MDE), targeting the patients during their clinical high-risk state of MDE (CHR-D). The identification of a set of stressors at the CHR-D increases the success of indicated prevention with personalized early interventions. The study evaluated stressors in the early phase of depression, developed on the basis of a patient survey on stressors.

Psychometric properties of the self-report version of the Strengths and Weaknesses of ADHD Symptoms and Normal Behavior Scale in a sample of Hungarian adolescents and young adults.

The Strengths and Weaknesses of ADHD Symptoms and Normal Behaviour Scale (SWAN) measures the full spectrum of attention and activity symptoms, not just the negative end of the distribution. Previous studies revealed strong psychometric properties of the parent and teacher report versions; however, there is little research on the new self-report form of the SWAN. Therefore, our research aimed to explore the psychometric characteristics of the SWAN self-report.

Neurocomputational Mechanisms Underlying Differential Reinforcement Learning From Wins and Losses in Obesity With and Without Binge Eating.

Background: Binge-eating disorder (BED) is thought of as a disorder of cognitive control, but evidence regarding its neurocognitive mechanisms is inconclusive. Key limitations of previous research include a lack of consistent separation between effects of BED and obesity and a disregard for self-report evidence suggesting that neurocognitive alterations may emerge primarily in loss- or harm-avoidance contexts.

Methods: To address these gaps, in this longitudinal study we investigated behavioral flexibility and its underlying neurocomputational processes in reward-seeking and loss-avoidance contexts.

How does urbanization affect the cognitive function among older adults: A geospatial analysis in China.

There has been a plethora of studies on urbanization and older adults, and more recent ones on how older adults adapt to this process with their cognitive competence. Yet it has been unclear about the relationship between them, like how the level and rate of urbanization affect the cognitive function among older adults. This study sourced, formed, and analyzed a set of geospatial big datasets from different sources, such as the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) data, and the NPP/VIIRS nighttime light (NTL) data.

The reflective function questionnaire for youth: Hungarian adaptation and evaluation of associations with quality of life and psychopathology.

An important correlate of mental health problems is mentalizing capacity, which appears to be particularly influential during adolescence. However, quality of life has not been studied in relation to mentalizing capacity among adolescents. This study aimed to translate the Reflective Function Questionnaire for Youth (RFQY) into Hungarian, present its psychometric properties, and assess its relationship with demographic characteristics, psychopathology and quality of life.
