Contexts and Parental Management Strategies for Child-to-Parent Violence in Adolescents with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: A Qualitative Study.

Background/objectives: This qualitative study was conducted to understand the experiences of parents of adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) regarding experiences of child-to-parent violence (CPV), including the contexts of parent-child conflict in which CPV occurred, types of CPV, victimized parents' feelings and responses to CPV, and parents' strategies for better handling of CPV based on past experiences.

Associations Between Peer Victimization and Aggression and Three Types of Domestic Violence in Adolescents with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.

Background/objectives: Peer victimization and aggression can be detrimental to the physical and mental health of adolescents. Adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are one of the risk groups involved in peer victimization and aggression. The association between multiple types of domestic violence and engagement in peer victimization and aggression warrants more examination in adolescents with ADHD.

Psychometric Properties of the Chinese Version of the Child-to-Parent Violence Questionnaire in Adolescents with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.

Purpose: Child-to-parent violence (CPV) is a major concern for adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The Child-to-Parent Violence Questionnaire (CPV-Q) is a valid instrument for assessing a wide variety of CPV behaviors and the reasons; however, the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of CPV-Q (C-CPV-Q) in adolescents with ADHD have not been examined yet. This study examined the psychometric properties of both child and parent versions of C-CPV-Q in adolescents with ADHD.

Predictors of online interactions with strangers in adolescents with and without attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: A prospective study.

Background: This study identified the cross-sectional and 1-year predictors of both passive exposure to online interactions with strangers and active engagement in such interactions among adolescents, focusing on individual factors (sex, age, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder [ADHD] diagnosis, and impulsivity) and environmental factors (satisfaction with family and peer relationships).

Methods: The sample comprised 349 adolescents (176 with ADHD and 173 without) and their parents. At baseline, data on lifetime online interactions with strangers, impulsivity, and satisfaction with family and peer relationships were examined.

Predictors of the Fear of COVID-19 in Individuals with Schizophrenia: a Prospective Study.

The fear of COVID-19 can result in psychological distress and mental health problems. Individuals with schizophrenia (IWSs) are especially vulnerable to contracting COVID-19. This study with a 1-year follow-up examined whether individual characteristics (sociodemographic characteristics, schizophrenia symptoms, depression, and self-esteem) or factors related to individual-environmental interaction (self-stigma, loneliness, and perceived social support) predicted the level of fear of COVID-19 (FC) among IWSs.

Development of the Difficulties in Communicating with Teachers Scale Among Parents of Children with ADHD.

Background: Parents of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) experience difficulties in communicating with teachers about the challenges their children face with respect to learning, interpersonal relationships, behaviors, and emotions.

Methods: The DCT-P-CADHD was developed on the basis of data from focus group interviews.

Factors related to parenting difficulties among caregivers of adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background: Caregivers of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) experience more parenting stress than do caregivers of children without ADHD.

Identification of diagnostic and therapeutic biomarkers for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common psychiatric condition among children and adolescents, often associated with a high risk of psychiatric comorbidities. Currently, ADHD diagnosis relies exclusively on clinical presentation and patient history, underscoring the need for clinically relevant, reliable, and objective biomarkers. Such biomarkers may enable earlier diagnosis and lead to improved treatment outcomes.
