“…In the examination of youths with chronic medical illness, the CIS performed better than other standard checklists in detecting youths in need of mental health treatment (Harris et al, 1996). Finally, in a Swiss epidemiological study, a German translation of the CIS supported the scale's concurrent validity (Steinhausen and Metzke, 2001).…”

“…It has good concurrent and discriminant validity in samples of chronically ill and community-dwelling children. [39][40][41] Having a comorbid mental health condition was included based on parent report, similar to the protocols described earlier for report of autism. In the MEPS, comorbid mental health conditions were identified with the assigned ICD-9-CM codes 294-298 (bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and psychoses), 300 (anxiety), 301 (personality disorders), 311 (depression), 312-313 (conduct and emotional disorders), and 314 (attention deficit disorder).…”

Examination of Parent Insurance Ratings, Child Expenditures, and Financial Burden Among Children With Autism: A Mismatch Suggests New Hypotheses to Test

OBJECTIVE: Families raising children with autism contribute significant amounts to the cost of care. In this era of health care reform, families have more insurance choices, but people are unfamiliar with health insurance terms. This study uses 2 national data sets to examine health insurance ratings from parents raising children with autism and child expenditures to explore how these measures align. METHODS:Children with autism who met criteria for special health care needs and were continuously insured were examined. Data from the National Survey of Children With Special Health Care Needs 2009-2010 were used to examine parent report of adequate insurance (n = 3702). Pooled data from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey 2002-2011 were used to examine expenditures (n = 346). Types of health insurance included private alone, Medicaid alone, and combined private and wrap-around Medicaid. RESULTS:Having Medicaid doubled the odds of reporting adequate insurance compared with private insurance alone (P < .0001), and children on Medicaid had the lowest out-of-pocket costs ($150, P < .0001). Children covered by combined private and wrap-around Medicaid had the highest total expenditures ($11 596, P < .05) and the highest expenditures paid by their insurance ($10 638, P < .05). CONCLUSIONS:These findings highlight a mismatch between parent ratings of insurance adequacy, child expenditures, and relative financial burden. Findings generate a number of questions to address within single sources of data. By elaborating the frameworks families use to judge the adequacy of their insurance, future research can develop policy strategies to improve both their satisfaction with their insurance coverage and the service use of children with autism.

“…15 The routine use of standardized screening measures may be 1 way to provide more precise assessment of mental health symptoms in children and adolescents receiving cancer treatment. Although caution is necessary in the use of self-report screening measures developed in the general pediatric population, [16][17][18] The Children's Depression Inventory (CDI) and other similar measures have been evaluated in medically ill children and found to be diagnostically accurate in several settings. 13,[19][20][21] This pilot study was developed to address the feasibility of using a standardized screening measure to identify depression and anxiety in a sample of on-therapy adolescent cancer patients during routine clinic visits.…”

The goals of this study were to evaluate the feasibility of depression and anxiety screening in on-therapy adolescents with cancer, determine the prevalence of depression and anxiety in this sample, and assess the concordance between patient and oncologist report of patient symptoms. Forty-one adolescents (ages 12 to 18 y) undergoing cancer therapy in an outpatient oncology clinic completed the Beck Youth Inventory II (BYI II) Depression and Anxiety scales. Treating oncologists independently rated patient depression and anxiety. Ninety-eight percent of patients agreed to participate and average time to measure completion was <15 minutes. Mean T-scores for the BDI-Y (Depression module) and BAI-Y (Anxiety module) for most were not different than published norms. Three and 2 patients scored in the moderate-extremely elevated range of the BAI-Y and BDI-Y, respectively. There were no associations between scores and sex, age, diagnosis, time since diagnosis, or treatment intensity. A depression and anxiety-screening program is feasible in the outpatient pediatric oncology setting. Rates of adolescent self-reported anxiety and depression are low, although oncologists perceived more patient distress. This is an area for future investigation.
