Current literature and evidence focuses mainly on adult populations. Clinical trials investigating pharmacologic treatment of alcohol use disorders in children and adolescents are limited. When discussing treatment with an adolescent who suffers from a substance use disorder, it is important to discuss risks and benefits of pharmacotherapy and also explain to the patient and family that these medications have been primarily studied in adult populations. Family therapy may be particularly important when treating adolescents with substance use disorders and addressing comorbid psychiatric conditions also yields better outcomes. Sarah B.

They are a blessing because one is able presumably to ascertain a much more comprehensive picture of the child’s functioning. They are a curse because clinicians and researchers are forced to reconcile information that is often conflicting. Do discrepancies tell us something about the informant (the person interviewed/completing a rating scale), something about the child, or both (De Los Reyes & Kazdin, 2005)? Informants generally consist of the parent and/or child and/or child’s teacher. Concerns about the reliability of the child’s self-reported behavior and emotional symptoms have led mental health clinicians, psychiatric epidemiologists and geneticists to rely on assessments collected from parents and teachers to measure the issues in question. Numerous studies have documented low to moderate associations between parent and teacher reports of children’s psychological symptoms, with Pearson correlations varying from approximately 0.2 to 0.4 (Achenbach, McConaughy, & Howell, 1987). It appears that prevalence (e.g., Boyle et al., 1996), genetic influence (e.g., Thapar and Rice, 2006) and diagnosis (e.g., Carlson & Blader, 2011; Owens & Hoza, 2003) varies depending on the informant. Discrepancies between informants may occur for a variety of reasons.","PeriodicalId":89750,"journal":{"name":"Child & adolescent psychopharmacology news","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1521/CAPN.2012.17.1.5","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67090025","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}

Here, we conclude with a description of symptom-specific scales for youths suffering from disorders commonly encountered among practitioners who prescribe psychotropic medications to children and adolescents for psychiatric conditions. These measures have been used in clinical trials for preand posttreatment assessment of disorder severity prior to and throughout the course of treatment. Clinicians may add selected scales to supplement unstructured interviews and assessments to help inform their treatment plan. Like the general measures, we have selected these scales among the many that are available based on their numerous citations in the literature, rigorous empirical evidence for their validity, reliability, and clinical experience.","PeriodicalId":89750,"journal":{"name":"Child & adolescent psychopharmacology news","volume":"94 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1521/CAPN.2011.16.4.6","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67089898","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}
