Prior work has not tested the basic theoretical notion that informant discrepancies in reports of children's behavior exist, in part, because different informants observe children's behavior in different settings. We examined patterns of observed preschool disruptive behavior across varying social contexts in the laboratory and whether they related to parent-teacher rating discrepancies of disr...

Materials and Methods: In this clinical trial in 2013, 22 mothers of children with ADHD from Kalaleh, Golestan Province, were randomly divided into two groups: positive parenting prog...

The past decade witnessed an increased use of stimulants for the treatment of attentiondeficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in preschool children. However, the reluctance of parents of preschoolers to place their young children on stimulants (S. H. Kollins, 2004) coupled with the paucity of information regarding the long-term effects of stimulants in preschoolers makes the development and test...

Research suggests that the number of intellectually disabled people with children is increasing. Children of parents with intellectual disabilities may be at increased risk of neglectful care which could lead to health, developmental and behavioural problems, or increased risk of intellectua...

We conducted a cost analysis of the behavioral, pharmacological, and combined interventions employed in a sequential, multiple assignment, randomized, and adaptive trial investigating the sequencing and enhancement of treatment for children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD; Pelham et al., 201X; N = 146, 76% male, 80% Caucasian). The quantity of resources expended on each chil...

Smith (1971) described a method for deriving the recurrence risk of conditions with multifactorial inheritance in non-consanguineous families. In our paper the method is extended to those cases in which the parents are related. Some results are presented of specific examples in order to give some idea of the increased risk caused by consanguinity in some of the simple cases likely to be met in ...

introduction The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is currently conducting research and analyses to guide practitioners in making evidence-based program decisions. A meta-analysis of the current research literature on training programs for parents with children ages 0 to 7 years old was recently conducted by CDC behavioral scientists. This document presents a summary of their fin...

Introduction There is a substantial and growing body of evidence concerning the important role that familial risk factors play in facilitating young children’s entry and progression along the “early-starter” pathway of conduct problems. This pathway is characterized by three elements: the onset of conduct problems (such as developmentally excessive levels of aggression, noncompliance, and other...
