Anxiety disorders are common in children and adolescents, but access to evidence-based treatment is limited. Most clinical guidelines recommend stratified care, where less complex patients are offered low intensity interventions and complex patients more intensive options. Stepped care, where all patients initially receive low-intensity treatment, has gained traction due to its potential cost-effe

Introduction: The risk of celiac disease (CD) is high in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D). While some studies have linked CD in children with T1D to impaired growth and poorer glycaemic control, results have been inconsistent. Further, no study has examined the relevance of whether the diagnosis of CD is established before, in conjunction with, or after T1D. We aimed to examine whether CD influ

ObjectivesTransdiagnostic models aim to uncover shared mechanisms across mental disorders. Reward responsiveness (the ability to experience pleasure from rewarding stimuli) is a plausible, yet underexplored, transdiagnostic mechanism linking obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and depression. This study used network analysis to (1) examine how key reward responsiveness domains are interlinked in i

The Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) is considered the primary instrument for assessing the presence and severity of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Conceptual and empirical critiques inspired the development of an updated version of the instrument, the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale-Second Edition (Y-BOCS-II), with a higher ceiling of OCD severity to better differentiate

Given two neural network classifiers with the same in-put and output domains, our goal is to compare the two networksin relation to each other over an entire input region (e.g., within avicinity of an input sample). To this end, we establish the foundationof formal local implication between two networks, i.e., N2D=⇒ N1, in an entire input region D. That is, network N1 consistently makesa correct d

When patients experience peripheral vestibular or certain central disorders causing dizziness or vertigo, this is sometimes associated with experiencing also disrupted spatial orientation, which may be accentuated by exposure to a distorted visual environment. This study explores the impact of sensorimotor factors and sex on spatial orientation in sitting and standing positions. In the Rod-and-Fra

In recent years, WUI fire evacuation models have started to be developed. Several now exist, although they are primarily research tools unable to be applied in practice. For this step – moving from research to practice – such models need to build their credibility through testing and application. The WUI-NITY tool has been developed over several previously NIST-funded projects. Once this model is

Farmer collectives, such as farmer groups, play a crucial role in advancing struggles for inclusive and sustainable rural development. Yet their potential to influence agricultural policies and practices remains undervalued. Drawing on focus group discussions with farmer groups in northern Uganda, we examine how their routine collective practices function as critical mechanisms for cultivating via

Values, worldviews, and self-construal are strong correlates of pro-environmental behavior. In this brief empirical note, we argue that these constructs overlap conceptually and share underlying dimensions. Using an international sample of 11,964 individuals, we demonstrate that values, worldviews, and self-construal can be reduced to two dimensions, self-focus and other-focus, capturing 67 % of v

In this study, NaCl pellets read with optically stimulated luminescence were evaluated for their potential use as a point dosemeter in breast x-ray imaging. Dosimetry with NaCl pellets has previously been applied to various environmental and medical settings. NaCl pellets have potential in clinical breast dosimetry because they can enable multiple point measurements to be simultaneously conducted

Negative consequences of gambling problems have primarily been examined in terms of symptoms and impairment, with less focus on well-being, a key indicator of intra- and interpersonal functioning and a critical outcome in treatment. Additionally, the role of co-occurring psychopathology in this relation remains unclear. This study examined the relation between gambling problems and well-being in a

The objectives of this study were to explore active aging among people listed with an interest in relocation, and the relationships between active aging and aspects of perceived home. Using cross-sectional data from the 2022 RELOC-AGE project ( N = 1,509, mean age = 70 years), linear regression analysis was conducted. Women and individuals with higher self-rated health and education reported highe

Background: Gaming disorder has recently been recognized as a psychiatric condition, yet the clinical characteristics of treatment-seeking individuals remain understudied. This study examined youth and adults seeking treatment at a specialized outpatient clinic in southern Sweden.Methods: A total of 107 individuals aged 12-49 years (M = 22.1, SD = 7.2) underwent comprehensive clinical interviews,

BackgroundSymptom severity cutoffs for body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) are lacking, hindering communication between professionals and with the patient community.MethodWe pooled data from 11 clinical trials or high-quality cohort studies from specialist clinics, totaling 804 individuals with BDD (80 % girls/women, 67 % adults). All participants had baseline scores on the adult or adolescent versions

Reliable assessment of self-reported immune function is essential for identifying at-risk populations, monitoring public health interventions and informing global health strategies. Yet, current instruments are imprecise and lack cross-cultural validity. This study aimed to assess the cross-cultural validity of the 7-item Immune Status Questionnaire (ISQ). The Partial Credit Rasch model was applie

A large number of cities have created semantic 3D city models, but these models are rarely used as input data for simulations, such as noise and flooding, in the urban planning process. Reasons for this are that many simulations require detailed land cover (LC) and elevation data that are often not included in the 3D city models, and that there is no linkage between the elevation and land cover da

Children and adolescents with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) are at increased risk of psychotic disorders; however, the manifestations and clinical implications of psychotic vulnerability among youth with OCD remain poorly understood. To address this gap, we examined the prevalence and clinical correlates of psychotic vulnerability in youth with OCD across two independent samples. Using the T

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) share ostensibly similar and sometimes overlapping symptoms that complicate diagnostic assessment and conceptualization. While varying models for the symptom structure of PTSD have been proposed – including the presently used 4-factor and a more fine-grained 7-factor model – little research has focused on youth and even l
