“…Furthermore, sensitivity of the clinical cutoff point for Behavior Regulation appeared to be somewhat better in the younger age group (3.5-4.5 years) than in the older age group (4.5-5.5 years), maybe because older preschoolers can better inhibit their own behavior than younger preschoolers. The better results for referred patients with clinical scores on the TRF 1.5-5 (T score above 70) are in line with evidence that youth with symptoms according to both parent and teacher had more mental health concerns than youth with symptoms according to either parent or teacher (Gadow & Drabick, 2012).…”

The aim of the present study was to investigate the clinical usefulness of an observational tool--the Disruptive Behavior Diagnostic Observation Schedule (DB-DOS)--in the diagnosis of disruptive behavior disorders (DBD) and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in preschoolers. We hypothesized that the DB-DOS may help support the presumption of a diagnosis generated by the information from parents and teachers (or other caregivers). Participants were referred preschool children with externalizing behavioral problems (N = 193; 83% male) and typically developing children (N = 58; 71% male). In view of the clinical validity study each child was given a diagnosis of either DBD (N = 40), or ADHD (N = 54) or comorbid (DBD + ADHD; N = 66) based on best-estimate diagnosis. The DB-DOS demonstrated good interrater and test-retest reliability for DBD and ADHD symptom scores. Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated an excellent fit of the DB-DOS multidomain model of DBD symptom scores and a satisfactory fit of ADHD symptom scores. The DB-DOS demonstrated good convergent validity, moderate divergent validity, and good clinical validity on a diagnostic group level for DBD and ADHD symptom scores. The Receiver Operating Characteristic curve analyses revealed that for DBD the sensitivity and specificity are moderate and for ADHD good to excellent. The presumption of a diagnosis based on information from parents, teachers, and cognitive assessment was supported by the DB-DOS in 60% for DBD and 75% for ADHD. The DB-DOS can be used to help support a presumption of a DBD and/or ADHD diagnosis in preschool children.

“…Based on ROC curve analyses the sensitivity and specificity for the ADHD diagnosis when compared with DBD diagnoses appeared to be better for ADHD than for DBD. This may be due to the cross-situational character of ADHD symptoms (Gadow & Drabick, 2012). In contrast, ODD symptoms may be present in just one context (at home or at school).…”

“…The lack of full or partial scalar invariance supports the concept of ODD as a source-specific disorder, which is also the view of other authors (Drabick, et al, 2007;Gadow & Drabick, 2012;Strickland, Hopkins, & Keenan, 2012), and highlights the need of including both reporters (parent and teachers) in the assessment process of children with ODD. Further research may confirm whether scalar equivalence is maintained or not in older individuals.…”

Measurement Invariance of Oppositional Defiant Disorder Dimensions in 3-Year-Old Preschoolers

Measurement invariance (metric/scalar) of oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) dimensions (negative affect, oppositional behavior, and antagonistic behavior) across sex and informants is tested. Parents and teachers of 622 preschool children from the general population answered a dimensional measure of ODD. ODD dimensions function similarly in boys and girls. Some differences were found by informant, indicating that the equivalence of the ratings of parents and teachers is not complete and that given the same underlying level of the latent trait, some parents’ item scores were higher than those of teachers. Metric invariance was complete but scalar invariance was not attained. The results contribute evidence on the conceptualization of ODD as a source-specific disorder. The simultaneous use of ODD dimensions reported by parents and teachers must be considered in the context of a lack of complete measurement invariance, which implies that comparisons of observed means from parents and teachers are not readily interpretable.

“…This reformulation has occurred in the context of several studies, which found distinct affective dimensions within ODD (35)(36)(37)(38)(39). ODD has reorganized within the DSM-V to emphasize this finding.…”

Emotion regulation and adolescent suicide: a proposal for physician education

Suicide is the second leading cause of death among adolescents aged 14-19 years. Pediatricians report strong interest in receiving additional training to reduce suicide mortality, and physician education is one of the most robust means of suicide prevention. However, many studies suggest that existing educational methods and means leave much room for improvement. In light of the emerging evidence that emotion regulation (ER) deficits are significantly associated with adolescent suicide, this paper proposes the untested hypothesis that a module on the brain-based ER system may strengthen existing methods of provider education. The ER system and the evidence supporting its association with adolescent suicide are reviewed. The ability to ground an approach to suicide prevention within this brain-based medical model may be appealing to pediatricians; its transdiagnostic breadth and dimensional makeup may also be appealing to pediatricians. Most importantly, its emphasis on the negative effects of impoverished self-regulation broaden non-specialist concern from a restriction upon withdrawn, depressed adolescents to those with a wide range of psychopathology. Implications and further considerations are discussed.
