Risk factors for dropping out of treatment among white and black families

Article Abstract:

Black families are at a greater risk of dropping out of outpatient mental health treatment than White families. The most salient differences are in the domains of socioeconomic disadvantage. There are several group specific and common factors that increase the risk for both the groups. There is a disproportionate distribution of factors predicting drop-out of outpatient mental health treatment among Caucasian and African American children and among families attending outpatient treatment for externalizing problems.

Child-therapist and parent-therapist alliance and therapeutic change in the treatment of children referred for oppositional, aggressive, and antisocial behavior

Article Abstract:

The therapeutic alliance (child-therapist, parent-therapist) in evidence-based treatment for children was examined for oppositional, aggressive and antisocial behavior. The results could not be easily attributed to the influence of domains, known to predict therapeutic change or to common rater variance effects in the predictors and criteria. The therapeutic alliance warrants increased attention to understand the precise role in treatment and whether or how the alliance can be mobilized to enhance change.

Psychostimulant and other effects of caffeine in 9- to 11-year-old children

Article Abstract:

A research to test the psychostimulant and other effects of caffeine in 9- to 11-year old children is conducted in the US where children's consumption of caffeine appears to be lower on average than in the UK. Results reveal that, like adults, children probably derive little or no benefit from habitual caffeine intake, although negative symptoms associated with overnight caffeine withdrawal are avoided or rapidly reversed by subsequent caffeine consumption.
