Perry, Deborah F.; Dunne, M. Clare; McFadden, LaTanya; Campbell, Doreen – Journal of Child and Family Studies, 2008
Increasing numbers of young children are being expelled from child care settings because of their problem behavior. Access to mental health consultation is related to lower rates of expulsion, but additional data are needed to document the pathways through which mental health consultation reduces the risk of expulsion. We report on outcomes from a…

Vando, Jessica; Rhule-Louie, Dana M.; McMahon, Robert J.; Spieker, Susan J. – Journal of Child and Family Studies, 2008

The sample included 84 adolescent mothers and their children (45 girls, 39 boys). Infant attachment status was assessed using the Strange…

Ruchkin, Vladislav; Gilliam, Walter S.; Mayes, Linda – Child Psychiatry and Human Development, 2008
In planning interventions it is essential to understand how adverse risk factors in early childhood are associated with child mental health problems, whether some types of problems can be better explained by the specific risk factors, and whether early risk factors are differently related to different types of child behavior problems. A community…

Analyses of this topic typically address availability, safety, and costs of care, or the impact of care on children's "outcomes." When providers' input is included, it is generally used as an assessment tool to reinforce the researcher's conceptual framework.…

Konold, Timothy R.; Pianta, Robert C. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2007
Standardized rating scales remain the primary mechanism through which child behaviors are recorded. Despite the many advantages of such systems, the documented lack of agreement among different informants' ratings of the same child remains a pervasive problem for clinicians. This study examines the degree to which observed behavior ratings were…

Self-injurious behavior (SIB) is a disorder typically associated with developmental disabilities. However, throughout early childhood, some typically developing children also display behavior that is topographically similar to SIB but does not cause injury, commonly referred to as "proto-injurious behavior" (PIB). To date, little…
