Objective: Changing Academic Support in the Home for Adolescents with ADHD (CASH-AA) and Medication Integration Protocol (MIP) are two family-based behavioral protocols designed to promote family solutions to academic problems and medication decision-making. Building on a randomized control trial examining these protocols, the current study examined how protocol dose, an indicator of treatment adherence, was associated with treatment outcomes.
Method: The sample consisted of 145 adolescent clients (M age = 14.8, 72% male, 42% White, 37% Hispanic, 15% Black) and 49 community and hospital-based therapists (82% female, 63% White, 29% Hispanic). Latent growth curve models examined how therapist reports of minutes adolescents and their caregivers received CASH-AA and MIP predicted levels and change in inattentive and hyperactive symptoms (MINI-International Neuropsychiatric Interview); co-occurring symptoms (Youth Self Report/Child Behavior Checklist); homework problems (Homework Problems Checklist); and medication compliance at baseline, 3, 6, and 12-month follow-ups.
Results: MIP minutes were prospectively associated with lower caregiver-reported inattentive and hyperactive symptoms, adolescent- and caregiver-reported externalizing symptoms and caregiver-reported homework problems at the 12-month follow-up (ẞ range = -.16 to -.39, < .05), as well as faster decline in caregiver-reported inattentive symptoms (ẞ = -.29, < .001). CASH-AA minutes were associated with greater caregiver-reported inattentive symptoms (ẞ = .11, = .049) at 12-month follow-up and slower declines in homework problems (ẞ = -.39, < .001). Neither MIP nor CASH-AA minutes were associated with internalizing symptoms or medication use.
Conclusions: Findings further support MIP as an effective behavioral protocol for adolescent ADHD and indicate the need for increasing MIP implementation efforts in community settings.

Concussion in sport is increasingly understood as a public health crisis. A key facet of this crisis concerns the claim that industry-funded research results in conflicts of interest that fundamentally compromise scholarship. This poses a particular problem for policymakers when adjudicating upon who counts as an expert and what to do with the evidence that they provide.

Aims: The Fontan procedure has revolutionized care for individuals born with single ventricle heart disease, with over 80% of patients surviving into adulthood. This study aimed to estimate the long-term health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) experienced by patients and families.
Methods And Results: Patients, parents, and siblings were recruited through the Australian and New Zealand Fontan Registry and self-reported their HRQoL the Child Health Utility 9D index for children and EuroQol 5-Dimensions for adults.
