Adolescent ADHD and Adult Physical and Mental Health, Work Performance, and Financial Stress
There are a few longitudinal studies that suggest that attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adolescence is associated with later psychiatric disorders, substance use disorders, and impaired work performance.
Adolescent ADHD is associated with a variety of internal and external stresses in adulthood. Consequently, it is essential to focus intervention efforts on adolescents with ADHD to prevent or alleviate adult difficulties in functioning.
Dietary Salt Intake, Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Consumption, and Obesity Risk
Sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption is associated with childhood obesity risk. Because dietary salt intake is a determinant of fluid consumption in adults, a high-salt diet may predict greater consumption of SSBs and therefore increase obesity risk.
In Australian children, the amount of salt consumed was positively associated with fluid consumption, and predicted the amount of SSB consumed. In addition, SSB consumption was associated with obesity risk, indicating a potential link between salt intake and childhood obesity.
Association of Nutrient-Dense Snack Combinations With Calories and Vegetable Intake
The eating of non–nutrient dense snack foods is considered a major factor contributing to childhood obesity. Parents are often ineffective at encouraging healthier snacking habits.
Children consumed fewer calories when snacking on nutrient-rich cheese and vegetables compared with when they were served potato chips.
Effectiveness of Developmental Screening in an Urban Setting
Developmental screening using standardized tools has been endorsed by professional groups to improve rates of identification and referral for young children who have developmental delays. Little is known about the effectiveness of these tools among a high-risk urban population.
Using a randomized design, we found that a program of developmental screening improved the percentage and time to identification of developmental delay, referral, and eligibility for early intervention among a poor, racially diverse urban population of young children.
Part C Early Intervention for Infants and Toddlers: Percentage Eligible Versus Served
Part C early intervention serves ∼2.8% of US children who are younger than 3 years old; however, there is evidence that substantial numbers of infants and toddlers with developmental delays receive no early intervention services.
Broad eligibility criteria can classify children who …
