Quality measures were derived from 3 Health Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) quality measures: (1) acute phase, the percentage of youth who remained on antidepressants for 3 months; (2) continuation phase, the percentage of youth who remained on antidepressants for 6 months; and (3) follow-up contacts, the percentage of youth who received at least 3 follow-up visits during the acute phase.

CDS and the predominantly inattentive (IN) presentation of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are frequently co-occurring though separable constructs, each associated with unique constellations of functional impairments. The current study aims to identify their shared and divergent neurobiological correlates.METHODOne hundred eighty-one adolescents (Mage=13.9, SDage=2.2) were recruited from the Colorado Learning Disabilities Research Center twin study. Relationships between attentional symptom dimensions - CDS and IN - and brain volume were examined, controlling for age, sex, and average cortical volume. Procedures were repeated in an outside sample of 292 adolescents (Mage=16.8, SDage=1.4) using a 2-item measure of CDS.RESULTSHigher levels of CDS symptoms were associated with reduced volume within left ventral parietal, temporo-parietal and temporal regions, regions which fall within the ventral attention network. CDS and IN symptoms were significantly associated with gray matter volume in portions of the dorsal attention and default mode networks in opposite directions. Higher levels of CDS symptoms were associated with reduced volume in the left superior and inferior parietal lobules and left frontal portions of the default mode network, whereas IN symptoms were positively correlated with volume in these areas. Several findings were consistent in the outside sample.CONCLUSIONResults from the current study provide novel insights into the neurobiological basis of CDS. They suggest that both CDS and IN symptoms are associated with alterations in brain systems that exert top-down attentional control, though likely for differing reasons. The current study enhances understanding of adolescent attentional deficits.","PeriodicalId":17186,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144114267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
