“…Several prevention curricula have demonstrated effectiveness against CD, substance use, or both, among children and adolescents (e.g., Bierman et al, 2002;Botvin and Kantor, 2000;Brotman et al, 2005;Conduct Problems Prevention Research Group, 2002;Farmer et al, 2002;Hawkins et al, 1999;). To our knowledge, however, their effects on fully diagnosable substance use disorders have not been evaluated.…”

Background-Antisocial behavioral syndromes, including antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), syndromal adult antisocial behavior (AABS) without conduct disorder (CD) before age 15, and CD without progression to ASPD ("CD only") are highly comorbid with drug use disorders (DUDs). Among patients in DUD treatment, antisocial syndromes are associated with greater severity and poorer outcomes. Comparative data concerning associations of antisocial syndromes with clinical characteristics of DUDs among general population adults have not previously been available. This study describes associations of antisocial syndromes with clinical characteristics of lifetime Diagnostic and Statistical Manual -Version IV DUDs in the general U.S. adult population. Methods-This report is based on the 2001-2002 National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol andRelated Conditions (n=43,093, response rate=81%). Respondents (n=4,068) with lifetime DUDs were classified according to whether they met criteria for ASPD, AABS, "CD only," or no antisocial syndrome. Associations of antisocial syndromes with clinical characteristics of DUDs were examined using logistic regression.Results-Antisocial syndromes were significantly associated with the phenomenology of DUDs, particularly ASPD with the most severe clinical presentations. Associations with AABS were similar to those with ASPD; those with "CD only" were weak, inconsistent, and not statistically significant. Patterns of associations differed little between men and women.

Effortful Control, Social Competence, and Adjustment Problems in Children at Risk for Psychopathology

This study explored the factor structure and developmental trajectory of effortful control (EC), its relations with child adjustment, and the moderating role of age and gender in 75 4-to 6-year-old children at risk for psychopathology. Confirmatory factor analyses revealed two subcomponents of effortful control: Suppress=Initiate (the ability to inhibit a dominant response while initiating a new response) and Motor Control (inhibiting fine and gross motor activity). EC performance improved with age, and both subcomponents were associated with greater social competence at all ages. Associations with internalizing problems were moderated by child age such that greater EC was linked to fewer problems at age 4 but did not relate to problems at ages 5 or 6.The growing ability to voluntarily inhibit a dominant response to initiate a subdominant response, or effortful control (EC), is a hallmark of early childhood development (Kochanska, Murray, & Harlan, 2000;Rothbart & Bates, 1998;Rothbart & Rueda, 2005). High EC is associated with enhanced emotional and social competence (Bjorklund & Kipp, 1996;Derryberry & Rothbart, 1997;Eisenberg et al., 2003;Kochanska, Murray, & Coy, 1997;Kopp, 1982Kopp, , 1989 and with reduced internalizing and externalizing problems (Eisenberg, Gershoff, et al., 2001;Eisenberg et al., 2004;Eisenberg et al., 2003). Despite documented links between EC and child adjustment, relatively little is known about these associations in children at risk for psychopathology. In addition, although EC is multifaceted, involving a number of behavioral and neurobiological systems (Kindlon, Mezzacappa, & Earls, 1995;Murray & Kochanska, 2002;Nigg, 2000;Olson, Schilling, & Bates, 1999), most studies examine EC as a unitary construct. Consequently, there is a limited empirical basis on which to explore the developmental consequences of subcomponents of EC. Effortful Control and SubcomponentsEC is among the early-developing individual differences that fall into the category of temperamental regulation (Derryberry & Rothbart, 1997;Eisenberg, Sadovsky, et al., 2005;Eisenberg, Zhou, et al., 2005;Posner & Rothbart, 2000). In contrast to temperamental reactivity or affective arousal, regulation refers to voluntary control of behavior and attention and serves to modulate emotional reactivity. Although most studies document coherence among measures of effortful control, EC comprises potentially dissociable domains of inhibitory control, attentional control, modulation of motor activity, and delay of gratification, all of which may have unique implications for adjustment (Kindlon et al., 1995;Mezzacappa, Kindlon, Saul, & Earls, 1998;Nigg, Goldsmith, & Sachek, 2004;Olson et al., 1999;Rothbart & Rueda, 2005).Kochanska and colleagues Kochanska, Murray, Jacques, Koening, & Vandegeest, 1996) have made notable progress in facilitating research on EC by developing a comprehensive behavioral assessment battery, the Effortful Control (EC) Battery. It assesses the suppression of dominant responses in the motor, vocal, and cognitive d...

“…Parent ratings were valence, responsiveness, warmth, praise, enjoyment, scaffolding, effectiveness, aggression and criticism/punishment. In previous work with high-risk preschool-age children, Brotman et al [3,4] reported adequate inter-rater reliability for the individual codes in the original GIPCI. Global ratings have been shown to be significantly related to behavioral counts of behaviors during the same interactions, and parenting constructs based on GIPCI global ratings have been shown to be sensitive to intervention effects [3,4].…”

The revised new forest parenting programme (NFPP) is an 8-week psychological intervention designed to treat ADHD in preschool children by targeting, amongst other things, both underlying impairments in self-regulation and the quality of mother–child interactions. Forty-one children were randomized to either the revised NFPP or treatment as usual conditions. Outcomes were ADHD and ODD symptoms measured using questionnaires and direct observation, mothers’ mental health and the quality of mother–child interactions. Effects of the revised NFPP on ADHD symptoms were large (effect size >1) and significant and effects persisted for 9 weeks post-intervention. Effects on ODD symptoms were less marked. There were no improvements in maternal mental health or parenting behavior during mother–child interaction although there was a drop in mothers’ negative and an increase in their positive comments during a 5-min speech sample. The small-scale trial, although limited in power and generalizability, provides support for the efficacy of the revised NFPP. The findings need to be replicated in a larger more diverse sample
