Adherence to antipsychotic laboratory monitoring guidelines in children and youth
Most children initiating antipsychotic therapy do not receive guideline-recommended metabolic laboratory monitoring. Further research is needed to understand reasons for poor guideline adherence and the role of clinician training and collaborative service models in promoting best monitoring practices
New and continuing physician-based outpatient mental health care among children and adolescents during the Covid-19 pandemic in Ontario, Canada
In the 18 months following onset of the pandemic, outpatient mental health care utilization increased for those with new and continuing care needs, especially among females and adolescents
Geographic variation and sociodemographic correlates of prescription psychotropic drug use among children and youth in Ontario, Canada
We found significant variation in psychotropic dispensing among young Ontarians. Targeted investment in regions with long wait times for publicly-funded non-pharmacological interventions and novel collaborative service models may minimize variability and promote best practices in using psychotropics among children and youth
The Gross Developmental Potential (GDP2)
Many factors influence the health and well-being of children and the adults they will become. Yet there are significant gaps in how trajectories of healthy development are measured, how the potential for leading a healthy life is evaluated, and how that information can guide upstream policies and investments. The Gross Developmental Potential (GDP2) is proposed as a new capabilities-based framework for assessing threats to thriving and understand…
Air Pollution and Emergency Department Visits for Mental Disorders among Youth
Although exposure to ambient air pollution has been linked to mental health problems, little is known about its potential effects on youth. This study investigates the association between short-term exposure to air pollutants and emergency department (ED) visits for mental health disorders. The National Ambulatory Care Reporting System database was used to retrieve ED visits for young individuals aged 8-24 years in Toronto, Canada. Daily average …

Opposite Ends of the Same Stick? Multi-Method Test of the Dimensionality of Individualism and Collectivism
The construct of individualism-collectivism (IND-COL) has become the definitive standard in cross-cultural psychology, management, and related fields. It is also among the most controversial, in particular, with regard to the ambiguity of its dimensionality: Some view IND and COL as the opposites of a single continuum, whereas others argue that the two are independent constructs. We explored the issue through seven different tests using original …
The Participation of Community Members on Medical Institutional Review Boards
The goal of this study was to describe the contributions of community members (unaffiliated members) who serve on institutional review boards (IRBs) at large medical research centers and to compare their contributions to those of other IRB members. We observed and audiotaped 17 panel meetings attended by community members and interviewed 15 community members, as well as 152 other members and staff. The authors coded transcripts of the panel meeti…

A Geographic Information Systems–Guided Cost-Effectiveness Analysis For Waterborne Asbestos Remediation
Many local governments must simultaneously (a) maintain acceptable levels of service, (b) replace potentially hazardous materials used in infrastructure construction, and (c) finance expanded services. Geographic information systems (GIS) can help agencies prioritize and develop cost-effective responses to maintain quality municipal services. Its effective use requires cooperation among city departments to integrate and develop layers of infrastr…
Multidimensional Adaptive Testing for Mental Health Problems in Primary Care
OBJECTIVES: Efficient and accurate instruments for assessing child psychopathology are increasingly important in clinical practice and research. For example, screening in primary care settings can identify children and adolescents with disorders that may otherwise go undetected. However, primary care offices are notorious for the brevity of visits and screening must not burden patients or staff with long questionnaires. One solution is to shorten…
Physician Gender and Psychosocial Care for Children
OBJECTIVE: To examine differences by physician gender in the identification and treatment of childhood psychosocial problems. DESIGN: Survey of patients (n = 19,963) and physicians (n = 366) in primary care offices in 2 large, practice-based research networks. Multivariate regressions were used to control for patient, physician, and visit characteristics, with a correction for the clustered sample. SUBJECTS: Children ages 4 to 15 years seen conse…
Children of Seropositive Mothers in the U.S. Aids Epidemic
Seven to ten thousand American children are orphaned each year when their mothers die from AIDS. AIDS‐affected families with children have four acute needs. First, many parents with AIDS are indigent with no prospect of employment, and need welfare or disability‐based income support. Second, parents need accessible and affordable health care for themselves and their children. Third, parents need legal services to secure the custody and guardiansh…
Who is this "We"? Levels of collective identity and self representations
Cross-cultural perspectives have brought renewed interest in the social aspects of the self and the extent to which individuals define themselves in terms of their relationships to others and to social groups. This article provides a conceptual review of research and theory of the social self, arguing that the personal, relational, and collective levels of self-definition represent distinct forms of selfrepresentation with different origins, sour…
Regression analyses of counts and rates
The regression models appropriate for counted data have seen little use in psychology. This article describes problems that occur when ordinary linear regression is used to analyze count data and presents 3 alternative regression models. The simplest, the Poisson regression model, is likely to be misleading unless restrictive assumptions are met because individual counts are usually more variable ("overdispersed") than is implied by the model. Th…
Empathy as a cognitive inhibitor of interpersonal aggression
The studies presented in this paper examined empathy, especially perspective taking, as a potential inhibitor of interpersonal aggression. The theoretical rationale for these investigations derived from Zillmann's [(1988): Aggressive Behavior 14: 51–64] cognitive excitation model. Study 1 revealed that dispositional empathy correlates negatively with self-reported aggression and with conflict responses that reflect little concern for the needs of…

Protecting adolescents from Aids
There is an emergency need for AIDS prevention efforts among adolescents, but prevention campaigns must do more than merely provide health information

Analysis of behavioral durations in observational studies of social interaction
Many social science disciplines investigate dyadic or triadic social interaction by recording the interactive behaviors as qualitative codes. This article introduces a method for analyzing and interpreting variation in the durations of coded behaviors obtained during such interactions. Using survival analysis and event history analysis as its basis, this article discusses the use of regression techniques that enable the researcher to assess how t…
