Beyond the mainstream: the special needs of the chronic child patient.

Abstract: Born of civil rights legislation and promoted by a desire for simple, rapid means of modifying behavior, Public Law 90-142 represents an effort at normalizing behaviorally disturbed children through "mainstreaming" This paper argues that a simplistic insistence on equality through mainstreaming violates the rights and needs of some behaviorally disturbed children to be different

An approach to understanding sleep and depressed mood in adolescents: person-centred sleep classification.

Abstract: Depressive mood in youth has been associated with distinct sleep dimensions, such as timing, duration and quality To identify discrete sleep phenotypes, we applied person-centred analysis (latent class mixture models) based on self-reported sleep patterns and quality, and examined associations between phenotypes and mood in high-school seniors Students (n = 1451; mean age = 184 ± 03 years; 648 M) completed a survey near the end of high-school Indicators used for classification included school night bed- and rise-times, differences between non-school night and school night bed- and rise-times, sleep-onset latency, number of awakenings, naps, and sleep quality and disturbance Mood was measured using the total score on the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale One-way anova tested differences between phenotype for mood Fit indexes were split between 3-, 4- and 5-phenotype solutions For all solutions, between phenotype differences were shown for all indicators: bedtime showed the largest difference; thus, classes were labelled from earliest to latest bedtime as 'A' (n = 751), 'B' (n = 428) and 'C' (n = 272) in the 3-class solution Class B showed the lowest sleep disturbances and remained stable, whereas classes C and A each split in the 4- and 5-class solutions, respectively Associations with mood were consistent, albeit small, with class B showing the lowest scores Person-centred analysis identified sleep phenotypes that differed in mood, such that those with the fewest depressive symptoms had moderate sleep timing, shorter sleep-onset latencies and fewer arousals Sleep characteristics in these groups may add to our understanding of how sleep and depressed mood associate in teens
