Researchers and policymakers aspire for educational interventions to change children's long-run developmental trajectories. However, intervention impacts on cognitive and achievement measures commonly fade over time. Less is known, although much is theorized, about social-emotional skill persistence. The current meta-analysis investigated whether…

Sleep disturbances are one of the most common comorbidities in autistic children and adolescence. Considering the impact of sleep disorders on development and daily functioning, it is important to know which treatments are considered effective in literature. This systematic review and meta-analysis study specifically aimed to investigate the…

Mindy L. Rosengarten; Emma R. Hart; Drew H. Bailey; Meghan P. McCormick; Benjamin J. Lovett; Tyler W. Watts – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2024
Recent reviews of the educational intervention literature have noted patterns of intervention impact fadeout on cognitive skills, whereby skill trajectories between children in the intervention and control group converge in the years following the end of the intervention. Some early childhood education (ECE) researchers have suggested that skill…

Laura Graham Holmes; Leona M. Ofei; Megan H. Bair-Merritt; Pamela L. Palmucci; Emily F. Rothman – Review Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Background: This systematic review investigated the state of intervention science on programs that promote healthy intimate relationship skills and sexual health for autistic youth (i.e., healthy intimacy). Methods: Using PRISMA guidelines, we reviewed randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in 2010 or later that enrolled [less than or equal…

Yang, Yoon Jung; Chung, Kyong-Mee – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
This study developed and tested the effectiveness of an app-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) program in alleviating anxiety among adolescents and adults with autism without co-occurring intellectual disability. Thirty participants from 15 to 35 years old were randomly assigned to either the intervention or waitlist control group, and self-…

Max; Dodge, Kenneth A.; Greenberg, Mark T.; Lochman, John E.; McMahon, Robert J.; Pinderhughes, Ellen E.; Wilcox, Holly C. – Prevention Science, 2023
Psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) are common throughout childhood, and the presence of these experiences is a significant risk factor for poor mental health later in development. Given the association of PLEs with a broad number of mental health diagnoses, these experiences serve as an important malleable target for early preventive interventions.…

Troyer, Margaret – Journal of Research in Reading, 2022
Background: Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have long been considered the gold standard in education research. Federal funds are allocated to evaluations that meet What Works Clearinghouse standards; RCT designs are required in order to meet these standards without reservations. Schools seek out interventions that are research based, in other…

Purpose: This study examines how ultrasound biofeedback and intensive treatment distribution affect speech sound generalization during an evidence-based treatment, Speech Motor Chaining, for children with persisting speech errors associated with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS). Method: In a 2 × 2 factorial randomized controlled trial, children…

Lassander, Maarit; Saarinen, Tapio; Simonsen-Rehn, Nina; Suominen, Sakari; Vahlberg, Tero; Volanen, Salla-Maarit – Child & Youth Care Forum, 2023
Background: This paper presents the baseline characteristics and their moderators in the Healthy Learning Mind (HLM)-- school-based cluster-randomized controlled trial. Objectives: The paper evaluates the state of various measures of well-being, their moderators and how these results compare to national and global norms/population studies.…

Problematic Cost-Utility Analysis of Interventions for Behavior Problems in Children and Adolescents
van IJzendoorn, Marinus H.; Bakermans-Kranenburg, Marian J. – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2020
Cost-utility analyses are slowly becoming part of randomized control trials evaluating physical and mental health treatments and (preventive) interventions in child and adolescent development. The British National Institute of Health and Care Excellence, for example, insists on the use of gains in Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALYs) to compute the…

Ghasab Shirazi, Morvarid; Kazemi, Ashraf; Kelishadi, Roya; Mostafavi, Firoozeh – Health Education Research, 2019
This study aims to evaluate the impact of a social cognitive theory (SCT)-based intervention on dietary behaviors and behavioral determinants. A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 230 adolescent girls (13-15 years old) in the intervention (n=115), and control group (n = 115), in Isfahan, Iran. Interventions were focused on changing SCT…

Burke, Kylie; Dittman, Cassandra K.; Forbes, Elana J.; Eggins, Elizabeth – Campbell Systematic Reviews, 2021
The primary objective of the proposed systematic review is to answer the following research question: do parenting programmes for parents of adolescents impact adolescent mental health outcomes, positive development and the parent-adolescent relationship? This will be achieved by systematically searching for and synthesising the extant evaluation…

When people are exposed to information that leads them to overestimate the actual amount of genetic difference between racial groups, it can augment their racial biases. However, there is apparently no research that explores if the reverse is possible. Does teaching adolescents scientifically accurate information about genetic variation within and…

Kutywayo, A.; Yah, C. S.; Naidoo, N. P.; Malotana, M.; Dyani, S.; Mullick, S. – SAGE Open, 2018
The Good Participatory Practice (GPP) guidelines provide a framework for stakeholder engagement within clinical trials, to ensure a study's acceptability, feasibility, and improving the overall research quality; however, they have rarely been applied beyond this setting, and no literature exists on its application in adolescent research. A review…

Bast, Lotus S.; Due, Pernille; Ersbøll, Annette K.; Damsgaard, Mogens T.; Andersen, Anette – Journal of School Health, 2017
Background: Assessment of implementation is essential for the evaluation of school-based preventive activities. Interventions are more easily implemented in schools if detailed instructional manuals, lesson plans, and materials are provided; however, implementation may also be affected by other factors than the intervention itself--for example,…
