Increasing Organ Donor Designation Rates in Adolescents
Objectives. To evaluate the effectiveness of video messaging on adolescent organ donor designation rates. Methods. We randomized adolescent driver education classes in Massachusetts, between July 2015 and February 2018, to receive 1 of 3 organ donation video messaging interventions (informational, testimonial, or blended). Adolescents completed questionnaires before and after the intervention and at 1-week follow-up; we compared their registratio…

Clinical assessment of medication adherence among HIV-infected children
This paper presents findings of a multi-site study designed to document: (1) caregivers' regimen knowledge; (2) barriers to adherence; and (3) the relationships between adherence, regimen knowledge and barriers. Fifty-one predominantly female, African American parents and caregivers of HIV-infected children completed the Treatment Interview Protocol (TIP), a brief, structured interview designed to assess regimen knowledge and barriers to adherenc…
Religious Coping and Heart Transplantation
Perceptions of Parenting Stress and Family Relations by Fathers of Children Evaluated for Organ Transplantation
18 fathers of children evaluated for solid organ or bone marrow transplantation completed measures of parenting stress and family functioning. Comparisons with normative data indicated that these fathers reported less parenting stress, less family conflict, more concern about family finances, and more limitations in family activities. These data highlight the need for family-based assessments in pediatric transplantation
Children and Exposure to the Sun
This study examined the relationships among measures of knowledge of skin cancer, attitudes toward sun exposure, intentions to use sunscreen, and self-reported use of sunscreen by 105 fifth-grade children. Positive correlations were obtained between knowledge and intentions to use sunscreen, knowledge and healthier attitudes, and intentions to use sunscreen and healthier attitudes toward sun exposure. Surprisingly, knowledge, attitudes, and inten…
Parent-Child Agreement on Ratings of Anxiety in Children
Research on congruence of parents' and children's reports of children's symptomatology has typically yielded low to moderate agreement. This study extended past research by examining the rate of parent-child agreement on reported anxiety for a nonclinical sample of children. 85 children ages 8 to 16 years and attending recreational summer camps completed measures of their own anxiety and parents completed the same scales on their children twice; …
Predictors of Coping Strategies among Adults with Cancer
The predictive utility of emotional distress, social support, and satisfaction with health care for use of particular coping strategies (confrontation, avoidance, acceptance-resignation) was examined in 130 adults with cancer. Analysis indicated that emotional distress was the most salient predictor of adults' use of coping strategies characterized by avoidance and acceptance-resignation, after controlling for the effects of duration of disease a…
Quality of Life in Adult Recipients of Bone Marrow Transplantation
Quality of life, coping styles, and satisfaction with health care were assessed in 32 bone marrow transplant recipients and 22 conventional chemotherapy recipients. Subjects reported having generally good quality of life with no significant differences in quality of life or coping styles between the two groups. Quality of life was not significantly associated with age, socioeconomic status, time since diagnosis, or time since last treatment, alth…
