Measures included sociodemographic information, Outcome Questionnaire-30, Questionnaire for the Evaluation of Psychotherapeutic Progress, Questionnaire on Emotional Well-Being, Symptom Checklist-90-R, and the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems-32. Prediction models were trained with nested cross-validation and validated in a holdout sample. SHapley Additive exPlanations values were extracted for the best resulting model.RESULTSItem-level models achieved the highest performance for both dropout (F1-Score = 0.87, Brier score = 0.0529, balanced accuracy = 0.88) and treatment nonresponse (F1-Score = 0.60, Brier score = 0.1646, balanced accuracy = 0.72) prediction. Items reflecting cognitive and bodily dimensions, respectively, emerged as key predictors.CONCLUSIONThis study demonstrates the clinical value of using item-level data to enhance predictive modeling for dropout and treatment nonresponse and the potential to provide actionable insights for clinical practice. Integrating such models into clinical feedback systems could help identify at-risk patients and reduce dropout and nonresponse rates.

Parents are tasked with implementing postdischarge suicide prevention recommendations, often with little support. To address this need, this study examined a parent-facing texting intervention targeting parental engagement in suicide prevention activities to lower youth suicide risk after discharge.METHODA pilot randomized controlled trial was conducted with 120 parents (83.3% mothers) and their adolescents (ages 13-17, 65.8% female, 75.0% White) presenting to an ED with suicide risk concerns. Parents were randomized to a control group or a 6-week intervention providing parents with daily adolescent-centered text messages encouraging post-ED parental engagement in recommended suicide prevention activities with or without added parent-centered texts intended to support parents' own well-being. Proposed mechanisms (parental self-efficacy, engagement in suicide prevention activities) were assessed at 2, 6, and 12 weeks. This trial is registered with https://clinicaltrials.gov (NCT05058664).RESULTSThe text-based intervention was feasible and acceptable. In exploratory analyses, relative to control, the text-based intervention was associated with greater parental engagement in suicide prevention activities postintervention at 6 (d = 0.48, p = .027) and 12 weeks (d = 0.53, p = .019) and lower youth suicide attempts at 12 weeks (hazard ratio = 0.23, CI [0.06, 0.96], p = .044), regardless of whether parents received additional parent-centered texts.CONCLUSIONSWarranting further study in a fully powered trial, findings suggest this parent-facing texting intervention intended to promote youth safety was acceptable and may offer a promising strategy to lower post-ED youth suicide risk.

This distinction is based on the implicit assumption that each therapeutic ingredient fits exclusively into one of these categories. In this viewpoint, the author argues that the common versus specific dichotomy is both arbitrary and potentially detrimental. It risks preventing clinicians from using specific techniques to target some of the most effective therapeutic mechanisms identified in research. The trait-like and state-like theoretical framework has demonstrated that the term \"common factor\" is less useful as a fixed attribute and it is more productive to consider it as one potential role that mechanisms may play, alongside their ability to function as specific mechanisms targeted directly to drive state-like therapeutic change. This shift parallels the evolution from viewing individual characteristics as pure traits (e.g., personality traits) or states (e.g., emotional states) to recognizing them as coexisting dimensions of the same construct: Personality traits can display state-like fluctuations across time and contexts, while emotional states may follow stable trait-like patterns over time.

In response, we note that the group-delivered IPT that we evaluated produced higher abstinence from binge eating and compensatory weight control behaviors (40%) than did individually delivered IPT in the only trial that also evaluated this treatment with a broad range of eating disorders (33%; Fairburn et al., 2015). The fact that the group-delivered IPT produced a higher abstinence rate than individually delivered IPT for a similar spectrum of patients appears to refute the stated concerns regarding the group-delivered version of IPT because it was not less effective than individually delivered IPT. We argue it is critical to establish that a treatment significantly outperforms alternative treatments with a distinct intervention target because only an active comparator controls for the potential confounds that can drive improvement in trials, including expectancies, demand characteristics, and nonspecific therapeutic effects. We also note that IPT for the treatment of eating disorders has not significantly outperformed three alternative treatments and that the evidence base for IPT may thus be driven by expectancies, demand characteristics, and nonspecific effects.
