Task-shifting evidence-based treatments to juvenile probation officers (JPOs) may help, but could increase surveillance and thus be iatrogenic for legal outcomes. Task-shifting contingency management (CM) to JPOs was examined for increased youth legal system consequences.METHODData were from a randomized clinical trial that randomized 32 JPOs in Idaho to probation as usual (PAU) or family-based CM integrated into probation. Then, 160 youth with substance use disorder on probation were randomized to JPOs delivering PAU or JPO-delivered CM. Legal system records (charges and detentions) spanning 18 months before and after randomization were obtained for each youth from the state database.RESULTSFor CM and PAU groups, respectively, 32.6% versus 51.4% had at least one charge postrandomization, 22.1% versus 20.3% had at least one detention, and median charge count was 0.0 (interquartile range, 0.0-1.0) versus 1.0 (interquartile range, 0.0-2.0). Intent-to-treat generalized linear mixed effects models nested youth within JPOs. Groups did not differ on charge count (event rates = 1.12; 95% CI [0.29, 4.36]) or likelihood of detention (OR = 1.54; 95% CI [0.65, 3.65]). However, CM youth had a significantly lower likelihood of receiving a charge (OR = 0.42; 95% CI [0.21, 0.83]), with a predicted probability of 31% (95% CI [21%, 42%]) versus 52% for PAU (95% CI [40%, 63%]).CONCLUSIONSYouth legal system consequences do not worsen when JPOs deliver CM. The likelihood of a new charge actually decreases when JPOs deliver CM. Task-shifting CM for youth substance use to JPOs could increase treatment access in rural communities.

Parents with psychosocial burdens are particularly vulnerable to develop mental health issues and are in need of targeted intervention programs. This article presents analyses of secondary outcomes of a cluster randomized controlled trial examining the efficacy of the intervention \"I-PREGNO\" in psychosocially burdened mothers during the postpartum period. I-PREGNO represents a 12-week mobile application-based blended counseling aiming to enhance transdiagnostic psychological mechanisms and health behavior during the postpartum period.METHODA two-arm parallel cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted in Germany with N = 108 psychosocially burdened mothers of children aged 0-12 months, recruited via a national early childhood intervention program. Assessments included baseline assessment (T0), postintervention assessment 12 weeks after baseline (T1), and one follow-up assessment 6 months after baseline (T2). Mixed-model repeated measures analyses were used to examine differences in well-being between the intervention group and the control group (treatment as usual), measured by scores on the Parenting Stress Index and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale.RESULTSNo significant differences between the groups at T1 and T2 were observed on Parenting Stress Index and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. Post hoc tests revealed that mothers in the intervention group who started the intervention within the first 5 months postpartum had significantly reduced Parenting Stress Index scores at T1.CONCLUSIONWhile exploratory analyses indicated that I-PREGNO may have potential in reducing parenting stress shortly after childbirth, it may not be sufficient for the prevention of postpartum depressive symptoms.

Research is needed to characterize predictors and timing of dropout to inform intervention efforts. Using data from the largest randomized controlled trial of CPT and PE to date, we examined the timing and predictors of dropout, including sociodemographic and psychosocial variables.METHODParticipants (N = 916; average age = 45.2; 79.9% male; 64.4% White) were U.S. veterans with PTSD who were randomized to receive PE (n = 455) or CPT (n = 461). Participants completed measures to assess demographic characteristics, PTSD symptoms, depression symptoms, quality of life, substance use, and treatment expectations and preferences. Dropout was defined as completing less than 12 sessions or completing fewer sessions than required based on the study protocol for early responders.RESULTSDropout was significantly higher in PE (52.31%) than in CPT (45.77%). Survival analyses indicated better retention in CPT over time and suggested that this group difference became significant starting after Session 3. Slower reduction in PTSD symptom severity was related to dropout in CPT, but not in PE.
