Community Implementation and Evaluation of the Chicago Parent Program
The purpose of this study was to describe and evaluate the implementation of the Chicago Parent Program (CPP) in a community setting. Included are details of the co‐designed implementation by academic and community partners, and parenting and child behavior outcomes. Two hundred eighty caregivers of children aged 2–5 years participated in the CPP in seven community sites. Measures of parenting and child behavior were administered at pre‐intervent…
The Barriers Assessment Tool—A Patient-Centered Measure of Adherence Barriers in Pediatric Kidney Transplantation
Standardized assessment of barriers to medication adherence provides actionable information to clinicians. Standardized assessment of adherence barriers may give clinicians opportunities to help patients and caregivers overcome these barriers which can decrease risk of rejection
The Influence of Caregiver Distress and Child Anxiety in Predicting Child Somatization in Youth with Functional Abdominal Pain Disorders
Pediatric functional abdominal pain disorders (FAPD) are associated with adverse outcomes including increased somatization (e.g., heightened physiological sensations that include gastroenterological and non-gastroenterological symptoms) and increased functional disability. Caregiver distress and child anxiety are separately associated with the adverse outcomes of pediatric FAPD. However, the cumulative role of caregiver (i.e., stress, anxiety, an…
Factor Structure of the Cultural Competence Items in the National Home and Hospice Care Survey
BACKGROUND: There is a need for validated measures of cultural competency practices in home health and hospice care (HHHC). OBJECTIVE: To establish the factor structure of the cultural competency items included in the agency-component of the 2007 public-use National Home and Hospice Care Survey file. DATA SOURCE: We used weighted survey data from 1036 HHHC agencies. RESEARCH DESIGN AND PARTICIPANTS: We used exploratory factor analyses to identify…

Establishing clinical meaning and defining important differences for Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS®) measures in juvenile idiopathic arthritis using standard setting…
Connecting the Spiritual and Emotional Intelligences
A viable model and self-report measure of spiritual intelligence were previously proposed and supported by Despite such advances, evidence is needed demonstrating significant associations with other intelligences. The current study sought to test this criterion in relation to emotional intelligence. Among a sample of 420 Canadian adults, results demonstrated significant associations between spiritual intelligence and two self-report measures of e…
An Investigation of the Relationships Among SelfConstrual, Emotional Intelligence, and Well-Being
This study aims to further investigate the convergent validity of the recently-proposed metapersonal model and measure of self-construal, and to emphasize the discriminant validity of the metapersonal self-construal as a distinct construct, capturing a unique aspect of self-construal separate from either interdependent or independent aspects. The study looked at two questions: (1) Does the metapersonal self-construal predict higher emotional inte…
