  • Effects of intrauterine substance and postnatal violence exposure on aggression in children

    Open AccessOlivier J Barthelemy, Mark A Richardson et al.ARTICLEAggressive Behavior2016Cited by: 1References: 53

    During the cocaine epidemic of the 1980s and early 1990s, many expressed fears that children with intrauterine cocaine exposure (IUCE) would grow up to be unusually violent. The present study examines the relationship of caregiver reports of school-age children's aggressive behavior with IUCE and postnatal exposure to violence. Respondents were 140 low-income, primarily African American children, ages 8-11, and each child's current primary caregi…

  • Utility of the HIV dementia scale in assessing risk for significant HIV-related cognitive-motor deficits in a high-risk urban adult sample

    Mark A Richardson, Erin E Morgan et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2005

    Considerable literature reflects the range of HIV-related neurocognitive complications, including relatively poor performance on tests of: movement and coordination; attention and concentration; reaction time; and mental flexibility. Efforts to develop appropriate screening techniques include the HIV Dementia Scale (HDS), a brief measure that has demonstrated promise but is lacking extensive independent evaluation. The present study examines the …

Further, evidence of concurrent disorders continues to mount, particularly among inpatients. The present study is designed to address the association between heavy substance use and major mental…

Family coping strategies offered no protection against risk, while coping with life difficulties by …
