Epidemiological study of a developmentally and culturally sensitive preschool intervention to improve school readiness of children in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
BACKGROUND: Early childhood is a dynamic period of physical, psychosocial and cognitive development, where age appropriate intervention during the preschool years influences psychosocial, behavioural and academic achievement of children. This study evaluated the impact of a comprehensive preschool intervention on psychosocial, cognitive and behavioural school preparedness among children in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. METHODS: Employing a cluster-sampl…

The Role of Parent Characteristics in Community-Based Medication Treatment for Children with Disruptive Behavior Problems
Racial and Ethnic Differences in Utilization of Mental Health Services Among High-Risk Youths
OBJECTIVE: Racial and ethnic disparities in mental health service use have been identified as a major public health problem. However, the extent to which these disparities may be accounted for by other confounding sociodemographic or clinical predictors of service use (e.g., family income, functional impairment, caregiver strain) is relatively unexplored, especially for youth services. The goal of this study was to test for racial/ethnic disparit…
The acculturation gap-distress hypothesis among high-risk Mexican American families.
The authors tested the acculturation gap-distress hypothesis by examining whether parent-adolescent acculturation gaps were associated with greater conflict and youth conduct problems among 260 high-risk Mexican American families. The authors operationalized acculturation gaps in 2 ways: parent-youth mismatches in acculturation style, and parent-youth discrepancies in acculturation toward both mainstream and heritage cultures. Acculturation gaps …
Race/Ethnic Disparity and Correlates of Substance Abuse Service Utilization and Juvenile Justice Involvement Among Adolescents with Substance Use Disorders
This study examines correlates of level of specialty alcohol/drug services care and juvenile justice system involvement for adolescents with substance use disorders. Participants were 420 adolescents 13-18 years of age randomly sampled from all youths active in at least one of five youth sectors of care in San Diego County, California. Adolescents were assessed using structured diagnostic interviews including the Diagnostic Interview Schedule for…

Children in foster care
Youth Entering an Emergency Shelter Care Facility
Two hundred and ninety five youth between 11 and 17 years of age who entered an emergency shelter care facility reported on their prior involvement with mental health and criminal justice systems. More than a quarter indicated a prior arrest, 10.5% reported a hospital admission, and 43.1% said they had received counseling. An overall logistic regression model revealed that youth who had received counseling prior to entry were almost 3 times more …
Minority populations in the child welfare system
This study tests the "visibility hypothesis," which suggests that there is a higher probability for minority children to be placed in foster care when living in geographic locations where their proportions in the population are relatively low, compared to areas where their proportions are high. Results support the hypothesis for African-American youth only. Explanations of the findings, and their implications for research and practice, are discus…
Racial/Ethnic Differences in Court Referred Pathways to Mental Health Services for Children in Foster Care
Type of maltreatment as a predictor of mental health service use for children in foster care
Psychological correlates of help-seeking attitudes among children and adolescents
A self-report measure of attitudes about seeking help from adults for psychosocial problems was administered to approximately 200 children and adolescents. More negative help-seeking attitudes were associated with male gender, adolescence, depressive symptomotology, and lower self-efficacy. Implications for effective delivery of mental health services to at-risk youth are discussed
