METHODS Data were drawn from a single-center, prospective longitudinal study. One hundred children born to women in methadone maintenance treatment and 110 randomly identified non-methadone-exposed children were studied from birth (2003-2008) to age 4.5 years. At 4.5 years, children underwent comprehensive assessment of their physical/motor development, social-emotional skills, approaches to learning, language development, and cognitive functioning. Predictors of children's overall school readiness were examined, including the extent of prenatal substance exposure (number and quantity of different substances), social risk, maternal mental health, infant clinical factors, and the quality of the home environment at age 18 months Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment (HOME) score. RESULTS Methadone-exposed children had higher rates of delay/impairment across all outcome domains (odds ratios 4.0-5.3), with 72% impaired in at least 1 domain. Multiple problems were also common, affecting 48% of methadone-exposed children compared with 15% of control children. The mean number of school readiness domains impaired increased, with increasing prenatal substance exposure (rate ratio [RR] = 1.05 [1.01-1.11]), higher social risk (RR = 1.35 [1.20-1.53]), male sex (RR = 1.69 [1.27-2.25]), and lower HOME scores indicating a poorer quality postnatal environment (RR = 0.96 [0.94-0.99]). CONCLUSION Children born to opioid-dependent mothers are at high risk of impaired school readiness, with multiple domain problems being common. Impaired school readiness was associated with greater maternal prenatal substance use, higher social risk, male sex, and lower-quality caregiving environments.","PeriodicalId":15655,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics","volume":"124 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87932203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Early identification of developmental delay using validated screening instruments provides a pathway to prevention and intervention in pediatric health care settings. However, the validity of Spanish-language screening instruments, used in clinical settings in the United States, has not been systematically examined. OBJECTIVE This study aims to review the literature of clinically administered developmental and behavioral instruments with Hispanic caregivers to investigate implementation variation due to language and cultural factors. METHODS A systematic literature review using PubMed and PsycINFO was conducted of articles published from January 1, 2006 to December 12, 2017. Abstract, full-text, and critical appraisal resulted in 11 studies that met criteria for inclusion. RESULTS Five different instruments were used to screen Hispanic or Spanish-speaking caregivers of children younger than 6 years. None of the instruments established validity and reliability apart from Spanish translation. Two studies identified differences in screening results with Spanish-speaking caregivers due to language and 6 described cultural differences that impacted screening implementation. Two studies reported differential item functioning in Spanish-translated instruments. CONCLUSIONS Language and cultural considerations are critical to the administration of valid and reliable screening in pediatric health care settings. Available developmental and behavioral Spanish-language-screening instruments function differently because of both language and culture, suggesting the tools are not as psychometrically valid when administered to Spanish-speaking families. Validation of translated screening instruments is essential to eliminate the possibility of detection bias or misidentification of developmental risk, improving early access to clinical services for Hispanic and Spanish-speaking families.","PeriodicalId":15655,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87423849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The impact of antidepressant dose and class on treatment response in pediatric anxiety disorders: a meta-analysis. Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry. 2018;57(4):235–244. Anxiety disorders are common in childhood and confer an increased risk of depressive disorder, other anxiety disorders, and suicidality. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are recommended as first-line psychopharmacologic interventions for treatment of children with anxiety disorders, and improvement seems to be dose related with selective serotoninnorepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) also used in treatment of anxiety. Understanding the effectiveness of various treatments is necessary to provide the most appropriate interventions and may affect clinical practice. Strawn et al. performed a meta-analysis with data from 9 prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled trials evaluating 7 medications in 1673 children with social, generalized, and/or separation anxiety disorder. Overall, 923 patients were randomly assigned to antidepressant and 882 to placebo treatment groups. Of the sample, 53% were male, and the median duration of treatment was 10 weeks across trials. The samples included children aged 5 to 17 years, and 44% to 67% were male, depending on the study. Four SSRIs (fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, paroxetine, and sertraline) and 3 SNRIs (atomoxetine, venlafaxine, and duloxetine) were evaluated. For both SSRIs and SNRIs, statistically significant improvement occurred at week 2 (dSSRI 5 20.054, CI 5 20.096 to 20.077 vs dSNRI 5 20.07, CI 5 20.113–0; p 5 0.02) and remained statistically significant over the subsequent 10 weeks. Overall, both treatments resulted in significant improvements (dSSRI 5 20.294, CI 5 20.304 to 20.284; p 5 0.001; dSNRI 5 20.136, CI 5 20.179 to 20.092; p 5 0.001), and SSRIs overall provided greater treatment response than that of SNRIs (p 5 0.003). Statistically significant symptom improvement occurred earlier with high-dose treatment; however, over the course of treatment, no significant difference was noted between high versus low-dose treatment (d 5 0.010; p 5 0.638). Overall, this study highlights the effectiveness of pharmacologic treatment for anxiety disorders. Benefits were noted soon after treatment was initiated, and SSRIs were associated with earlier and greater symptom improvement in anxiety disorders. O.V.B.
