ems Family-centered Program Deters Substance Use, Conduct Problems, and Depressive Symptoms in Black Adolescents By pediatrics.aappublications.org Published On :: 2011-12-12T00:09:00-08:00 Conduct problems, substance use, substance use problems, and depressive symptoms increase as black adolescents enter high school. Although family-centered prevention programs deter these problems during middle school, no such programs have been developed and evaluated for black high school students.This study demonstrates that participation in a family-centered preventive intervention reduces conduct problems, substance use, and substance use problems among black adolescents by more than 30% compared with adolescents in an attention control condition across nearly 2 years.

ems Drinking Frequency as a Brief Screen for Adolescent Alcohol Problems By pediatrics.aappublications.org Published On :: 2012-01-04T00:08:05-08:00 The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends routine alcohol screening for all adolescents. Problem-based substance use screens for adolescents exist, but have limitations. A consumption-based alcohol screen could provide an empirically validated, very brief method to screen youth for alcohol-related problems.National sample data indicate that frequency of alcohol use has high sensitivity and specificity in identifying youth with alcohol-related problems. A range of age-specific frequency cut scores perform well; specific cut points can be selected based on the screening context. (Read the full article) Full Article
ems Prevalence, Patterns, and Persistence of Sleep Problems in the First 3 Years of Life By pediatrics.aappublications.org Published On :: 2012-01-04T00:08:04-08:00 Sleep problems are common during childhood, but screening for sleep problems in the clinic setting is often cursory. Moreover, there are few longitudinal studies examining the prevalence and persistence of sleep problems in young children.Patterns of sleep problems vary across early development, but sleep problems arising in infancy persist in 21% of children through 36 months of age. Parent response to a nonspecific query about sleep problems may overlook relevant sleep symptoms and behaviors. (Read the full article) Full Article
ems Development of a Pragmatic Measure for Evaluating and Optimizing Rapid Response Systems By pediatrics.aappublications.org Published On :: 2012-03-05T00:08:27-08:00 The availability of rapid response systems to assist deteriorating patients is the standard of care in children’s hospitals. Metrics for evaluating their effectiveness include cardiac and respiratory arrest rates, rare events that require years of data to show significant improvements.A proximate outcome for in-hospital mortality among patients receiving rapid response system assistance was developed. This "critical deterioration" metric was eightfold more common than arrests and demonstrated criterion and construct validity, facilitating meaningful evaluation over shorter periods of time.

ems Prenatal Methamphetamine Exposure and Childhood Behavior Problems at 3 and 5 Years of Age By pediatrics.aappublications.org Published On :: 2012-03-19T00:07:55-07:00 Prenatal methamphetamine exposure has been related to deficits in fetal growth, changes in infant neurobehavior, and fine motor deficits, but little is known about its developmental effects on behavior problems in early childhood.This is the first prospective study to identify behavior problems associated with prenatal methamphetamine exposure. Mood difficulties and acting-out behavior are increased in exposed children by age 3 years. Early identification and intervention may prevent escalation into delinquency and psychopathology.

ems Protective Factors Can Mitigate Behavior Problems After Prenatal Cocaine and Other Drug Exposures By pediatrics.aappublications.org Published On :: 2012-11-26T05:32:39-08:00 Prenatal cocaine exposure is associated with the trajectories of childhood behavior problems. Exposure effects may also be related to maternal use of other substances during pregnancy, and risk factors other than prenatal exposure may augment the detrimental cocaine effects.The balance between cumulative risk and protective indexes predicts behavior outcomes, independent of prenatal drug exposure. A high protective index even with a high level of risks can mitigate the detrimental effects of drug exposure on behavior problem trajectory. (Read the full article) Full Article
ems Preterm Infant's Early Crying Associated With Child's Behavioral Problems and Parents' Stress By pediatrics.aappublications.org Published On :: 2014-01-06T00:06:37-08:00 Preterm infants are at an increased risk of regulatory difficulties during infancy and of behavioral problems in childhood. In the full-term population, persistent crying problems that last beyond 3 months of age have been related to later behavioral problems.Excessive crying by a preterm infant may reflect an increased risk for later behavioral problems and higher parenting stress even years later. Therefore, it is clinically relevant to assess systematically the crying behavior of preterm infants. (Read the full article) Full Article

No programs aiming to prevent all 3 issues have been rigorously evaluated.A prevention program targeting these issues improves caregiver mental health, behaviors, and cognitions around infant sleep. Implementation at a population level may be best restricted to infants who are frequent feeders because they experience fewer crying and daytime sleep problems. (Read the full article) Full Article

However optimistic, conclusions are not definitive due to methodologic limitations and a dearth of studies.This randomized trial provides further evidence for the efficacy of an on-site intervention (Doctor Office Collaborative Care) coordinated by care managers for children's behavior problems.
