TL;DR: The reliability and convergent validity of scales, and preliminary outcomes, for African American compared with European American patients are examined and internal consistency and short-term stability coefficients for African Americans were adequate and similar or higher compared with those found for European Americans for standard scales used in GAD treatment research.

TL;DR: This study revealed novel SNPs within the PRDX6 gene and its 5' and 3' flanking regions via direct sequencing, and tested association with ALI following major trauma.

TL;DR: Although IPT-AST demonstrated advantages over GC in the short term, these effects dissipated over long-term follow-up, and youth in both conditions showed significant improvements in depressive symptoms and overall functioning from baseline to 24-month follow- up, demonstrating the efficacy of school-based depression prevention programs.

TL;DR: This paper discusses power and sample size estimation for correlation analysis arising from clustered study designs using an asymptotic distribution of correlated Pearson-type estimates, and introduces a surrogacy-type assumption that all nuisance parameters can be eliminated, making it possible to perform power analysis based only on the parameters of interest.

TL;DR: Examination of subscales of the Ways of Coping Questionnaire found that while changes in coping did not differ significantly across treatment groups, the association between changes in cope and substance abuse outcome was related to treatment condition.
