Behavioral Practice and Homework Completion as Predictors of Outcome in a Transdiagnostic Brief Behavioral Therapy for Anxiety and Depression in Youth
Open AccessAraceli Gonzalez, Pauline Goger et al.ARTICLEBehavior Therapy2026References: 39
Exposure and behavioral activation are key to youth anxiety/depression monotherapy. • These behavioral components, in- and out-of-session, are the focus of this study. • More in-session behavioral practice predicted improvement in functioning. • Greater homework completion predicted improvements in anxiety symptoms. • Behavioral practice in and out of session seems key in transdiagnostic treatment. Exposure and behavioral activation have been ide…

Early indicators of response to transdiagnostic treatment of pediatric anxiety and depression
Open AccessPauline Goger, Michelle Rozenman et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2023
Background Pediatric anxiety and depression are prevalent, impairing, and highly comorbid. Available evidence‐based treatments have an average response rate of 60%. One path to increasing response may be to identify likely non‐responders midway through treatment to adjust course prior to completing an episode of care. The aims of this study, thus, were to identify predictors of post‐intervention response assessing (a) mid‐treatment symptom severi…
Pathways from Built Environment to Health Care Costs
Open AccessBehram Wali, Lawrence D Frank et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Behavior2022
Evidence connecting health care expenditures with physical activity and built environment is rare. We examined how detailed urban form relates to mode specific moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and health care costs—controlling for transit access, residential choices/preferences, sociodemographic factors. We harness high resolution data for 476 participants in the Rails and Health study on health care costs, mode specific MVPA, parcel…

Open AccessLawrence D Frank, Jennifer L Kuntz et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2019
The results of the Rails & Health study will provide urban planners, transportation engineers, health practitioners, developers, and decision makers with critical information needed to document how transit investments impact population health and related costs

Measuring Health-related Quality of Life in Teens With and Without Depression
Frances L Lynch, John F Dickerson et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2016References: 37
PURPOSE: To provide empirical evidence on the performance of common measures in assessing health-related quality of life (HRQL) in depressed and nondepressed youth. These measures can be used in research trials, cost-effectiveness studies, and to help develop policy for treating youth depression. BACKGROUND: Depression is one of the most common mental disorders among adolescents, with a chronic, episodic course marked by considerable impairment. …

Implementing a Tobacco Assisted Referral Program in Dental Practices
Open AccessSally Jo Little, Jack F Hollis et al.ARTICLEJournal of Public Health Dentistry2009
The Assisted Referral approach was successfully integrated into routine dental care, was well received by patients, and resulted in increased patient satisfaction. Because free telephone-based tobacco counseling is now available nationwide, the approach may be a practical strategy for most dental-care settings
