Prenatal Cocaine Exposure, Perinatal Risks, and Mediators to Preadolescent Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Our findings lend support to early screening before 4 years of age in children with PCE or other risk factors for ADHD. Behavioral interventions provided during early childhood may mitigate the later diagnosis or severity of ADHD
Mental Models of Infectious Diseases and Public Understanding of Covid-19 Prevention
The emergence of viral diseases such as Ebola virus disease, Zika virus disease, and the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has posed considerable challenges to health care systems around the world. Public health strategy to address emerging infectious diseases has depended in part on human behavior change and yet the perceptions and knowledge motivating that behavior have been at times inconsistent with the latest consensus of peer-reviewed science.…
Beyond reminders: A conceptual framework for using short message service to promote prevention and improve healthcare quality and clinical outcomes for people living with HIV
The availability of effective antiretroviral therapy has altered HIV from being an acute disease to being a chronic, manageable condition for many people living with HIV (PLWH). Because of their ubiquity and flexibility, mobile phones with short message service (SMS) offer a unique opportunity to enhance treatment and prevention for people managing HIV. To date, very few US studies using SMS for HIV self-management have been published. In this ar…
Prevalence of Anxiety, Depression and Associated Factors Among Pregnant Women of Hyderabad, Pakistan

There is a paucity of research on mood disorders, their predictors and sequelae among pregnant women in Pakistan. Aims: To determine the prevalen…
Neurodevelopmental impairment: Predictors of its impact on the families of extremely low birth weight infants at 18 months
Effects on a family of a child with chronic illness have been described. The Impact on Family Scale (IOF) was developed to measure these effects. The impact of extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants with neurodevelopmental impairment on families is unknown. This study determined IOF scores for families of ELBW infants with increasing degree of impairment at 18 months and identified factors that increase vulnerability to impact. A total of 3,84…
Diagnostic Validity of Two Instruments for Assessing Anxiety and Depression Among Pregnant Women in Hyderabad, Pakistan
The objective of this study was to compare the diagnostic validity of two measures, the Aga Khan University Anxiety and Depression Scale (AKUADS) and the How I Feel scale, for assessing anxiety and depression among pregnant women in Pakistan. The sample included 200 pregnant women in Hyderabad, Pakistan. Using psychiatrist-administered Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-fourth edition (DSM-IV) criteria, 71 (36%) of the women we…
Beneficiary Knowledge of Original Medicare and Medicare Managed Care
BACKGROUND: Previous research on beneficiary knowledge of the Medicare program has shown that the beneficiary population is not well informed about Medicare. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) implemented the National Medicare Education Program in 1998 to educate Medicare beneficiaries about program benefits; choices, rights, responsibilities and protections, and health behaviors. OBJECTIVES: We sought to measure beneficiary knowl…
Insurance Knowledge and Decision-Making Practices Among Medicare Beneficiaries and Their Caregivers
BACKGROUND: The complexity of health plans and the Medicare program may require some beneficiaries to seek help when making health insurance decisions. However, there has been little research examining the Medicare-related knowledge and information gathering of beneficiaries who receive decision-making help and those who assist them. OBJECTIVES: We sought to compare the Medicare knowledge and information-gathering of beneficiaries who receive hel…
