  • Anxiety disorders in adolescents and psychosocial outcomes at age 30

  • Psychosocial predictors of body mass index at late childhood

    Open AccessJill M Holm-Denoma, Jill M Holm‐Denoma et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Psychology2014References: 33

    Little is known about the psychosocial circumstances under which children develop excessive body mass. A community sample was followed up from age 2–10 years to determine which early problems were predictive of increased body mass index. Hypothesized mediators (i.e. eating habits, physical activity, and “screen time”) were also examined. After controlling for parental psychopathology, family income, child’s gender, and child’s body mass index, ex…

  • Dyadic Interaction

    Open AccessGinger A Moore, Christopher J Powers et al.ARTICLEInfancy2013

    The study of dyadic interaction plays a major role in infancy research. To advance conceptually informed measurement of dyadic interaction and integration across studies, we examined factor structure of individual parents' and infants' measures and dyadic measures from face‐to‐face interactions in two samples of 6‐month‐old infants and their parents: mothers from a demographically heterogeneous sample ( N = 164), and mothers and fathers ( N = 156…

  • Substance Use Disorder Characteristics and Externalizing Problems Among Inpatient Adolescent Smokers

    Ana M Abrantes, David R Strong et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychoactive Drugs2005

    Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and/or conduct disorder (CD) have been found to be associated with substance use disorders and cigarette smoking among adolescents. However, studies have often failed to explore these relationships among females from a dimensional perspective, taking into account comorbidity between ADHD and CD symptomatology, and examining ADHD symptom subtypes (i.e., inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity) sepa…

  • Respiratory Symptoms and Mental Disorders Among Youth

    Renee D Goodwin, Peter M Lewinsohn et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2004

    OBJECTIVE: To determine the relationship between respiratory symptoms and mental disorders among youth in the community, and to investigate possible mechanisms of these linkages. METHODS: Data were drawn from the Oregon Adolescent Depression Project (n = 1,709), a longitudinal study of adolescents in the community. Multiple logistic regression analyses were used to examine the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between respiratory symp…

  • Infant Affect During Parent—Infant Interaction at 3 and 6 Months

    Open AccessErika E Forbes, Jeffrey F Cohn et al.ARTICLEInfancy2004

    Fifty families participated in mother‐infant and father‐infant still‐face interaction at infant ages 3 and 6 months as part of a study of affect in early parent‐infant relationships. Infants' positive and negative affect and parents' positive affect and physical play were coded from videotapes. Consistent with previous research, during the normal condition, mothers displayed more positive affect than did fathers, and fathers were more likely than…

  • Comparability of Self-Report Checklist and Interview Data in the Assessment of Stressful Life Events in Young Adults

    Open AccessPeter M Lewinsohn, Paul Rohde et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports2003

    The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incremental value of conducting an interview to assess stressful life events over the self-report questionnaire approach, first by examining the degree to which life events reported on a questionnaire met inclusion criteria in a detailed stress interview, and second, by comparing the magnitude of prospective associations with depression symptoms for the two different assessment procedures. Data from t…

  • Symptom Patterns in Depression and "Subthreshold" Depression among Adolescents in Hong Kong and the United States

    Open AccessSunita Mahtani Stewart, Peter M Lewinsohn et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cross-Cultural…2002Cited by: 4References: 28

    This study compared the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed.) Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) diagnostic interview information from a representative, stratified sample of 85 (selected from 2,212) Hong Kong and 1,706 age- and sex-matched U.S. adolescents. Current prevalence rates (Hong Kong: 2.2%, 95% Confidence Interval [CI] = 1.3% to 3.1%; United States: 2.2%, 95% CI = 1.6% to 3.0%) were similar in the two cultures. Mor…

  • Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) as a screening instrument for depression among community-residing older adults.

    Peter M Lewinsohn, John R Seeley et al.ARTICLEPsychology and Aging1997

    The efficacy of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) as a screener for clinical depression was examined in a sample of 1,005 community-residing adults (age range = 50-96). Presence of a depressive disorder was determined by diagnostic interview. Analyses revealed that neither age, gender, cognitive impairment, functional impairment, physical disease, nor social desirability had a significant negative effect on the psychom…

  • Adolescent suicidal ideation and attempts

    Open AccessPeter M Lewinsohn, Paul Rohde et al.ARTICLEClinical Psychology: Science and…1996

    In this article we summarize findings from our program of research (the Oregon Adolescent Depression Project) as they pertain to the suicidal behavior of older (14–18-year-old) adolescents. Specifically, we (a) present information regarding the epidemiology of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts (e.g., prevalence, incidence, onset age, methods, severity); (b) describe the psychosocial characteristics associated with past and future suicide att…

    Open AccessJudy A Andrews, Peter M Lewinsohn et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1993

    In preparation for a community-based study of depression in adolescence, several pilot studies were conducted with samples of adolescents. The purpose of these studies was to evaluate the reliability and association with depression of several instruments when used with older (14- to 18-year-old) adolescents. These instruments included measures of cognitions, body image, self-esteem, self-awareness, social interactions with peers and family, socia…

  • A Brief Measure of Loneliness Suitable for Use with Adolescents

    Open AccessRobert E Roberts, Peter M Lewinsohn et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1993

    An 8-item loneliness scale was administered to a sample of high school students (N = 1,710) twice, about one year apart. The scale exhibited good internal consistency reliability (alphas of 0.78 and 0.79, respectively), was relatively independent of gender effects, and demonstrated evidence of construct validity. Factor analysis of the items yielded a two-factor solution which met methodological criteria, but over-all the data suggested a method …

    Judy A Andrews, Peter M Lewinsohn et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1993

    In preparation for a community-based study of depression in adolescence, several point studies were conducted with samples of adolescents. The purpose of these studies was to evaluate the reliability and association with depression of several instruments when used with older (14- to 18-year-old) adolescents. These instruments included measures of cognitions, body image, self-esteem, self-awareness, social interactions with peers and family, socia…

  • Assessment of depression in adolescents using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale.

    Robert E Roberts, Judy A Andrews et al.ARTICLEPsychological Assessment1990

    Operating characteristics of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) were examined by using data from 4 samples of students in Grades 9-12. Although it appears that the CES-D scale may be appropriate for use with adolescents, the issues of stability of scores over time, appropriate cutoff scores, and usefulness in detecting cases of clinical depression remain unresolved
