We synthesized current research evidence on the PEERS program to evaluate the treatment effect on four commonly used outcome measures. 12 studies met inclusion criteria for the review and nine met the criteria for meta-analysis. Results showed moderate to large pooled effects across measures and informants in favor of the PEERS program, with the largest effect seen in social knowledge improvement and the smallest effect in the frequency of get-togethers. The heterogeneity of effects across studies were examined and the limitations of the current evidence were discussed.

Overconnectivity of the right Heschl's and inferior temporal gyrus correlates with symptom severity in preschoolers with autism spectrum disorder / D. KIM in Autism Research, 14-11 (November 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 14-11 (November 2021) . - p.2314-2329 Titre : Overconnectivity of the right Heschl's and inferior temporal gyrus correlates with symptom severity in preschoolers with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : D.

HAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2314-2329 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Spectrum Disorder/diagnostic imaging  Brain/diagnostic imaging  Brain Mapping  Child  Child, Preschool  Humans  Magnetic Resonance Imaging  Neural Pathways/diagnostic imaging  Temporal Lobe/diagnostic imaging  Heschl's gyrus  autism spectrum disorder  brain networks  diffusion tensor imaging  graph theory  overconnectivity  preschool children Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Previous studies have reported varying findings regarding the association of brain connectivity in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with overconnectivity, underconnectivity, or both. Despite the emerging understanding that ASD is a developmental disconnection syndrome, very little is known about structural brain networks in preschool-aged children with low-functioning ASD. We aimed to investigate the structural brain connectivity of low-functioning ASD using diffusion magnetic resonance imaging and graph theory to examine alterations in different brain network topologies and identify any correlations with the clinical severity of ASD in preschool-aged children. Fifty-two preschool-aged children (28 with ASD and 24 with typical development) were included in the analysis. Graph-based network analysis was performed to examine the global and local structural brain networks. Nodal network measures exhibited increased nodal strength in the right Heschl's gyrus, which was positively associated with all autistic clinical symptoms (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule and Childhood Autism Rating Scale [CARS]). The nodal strength of the right inferior temporal gyrus showed a moderate correlation with the CARS score. Using network-based statistics, we identified a subnetwork with increased connections encompassing the right Heschl's gyrus and the right inferior temporal gyrus in preschool-aged children with ASD. The asymmetric value in the inferior temporal gyrus exhibited right dominance of nodal strength in children with ASD compared to that in typically developing children. Our findings support the theory of aberrant brain growth and overconnectivity as the underlying mechanism of ASD and provides new insights into potential regional biomarkers that can detect low-functioning ASD in preschool-aged children. LAY SUMMARY: This study supports the theory of aberrant brain growth and overconnectivity as an explanation for ASD. Measuring the right HG and inferior temporal gyrus provides new insights of potential regional biomarkers underpinning ASD in preschool-aged children.

When conflict escalates into intimate partner violence: The delicate nature of observed coercion in adolescent romantic relationships / T. HA in Development and Psychopathology, 31-5 (December 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 31-5 (December 2019) . - p.1729-1739 Titre : When conflict escalates into intimate partner violence: The delicate nature of observed coercion in adolescent romantic relationships Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : T. HA, Auteur ; H. KIM, Auteur ; S. MCGILL, Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : p.1729-1739 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adolescent romantic relationships  coercion  intimate partner violence  multilevel hazard models  observational studies Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : We investigated how initial conflicts in adolescent romantic relationships escalate into serious forms of conflict, including intimate partner violence (IPV). We focused on whether adolescents' micro-level interaction patterns, i.e., coercion and positive engagement, mediated between conflict and future IPV. The sample consisted of 91 heterosexual couples, aged 13 to 18 years (M = 16.5, SD = 0.99) from a diverse background (42% Hispanic/Latino, 42% White). Participants completed surveys about conflict at Time 1, and they participated in videotaped conflict and jealousy discussions. At Time 2, participants completed surveys about conflict and IPV, and an average daily conflict score was calculated from ecological momentary assessments. Multilevel hazard models revealed that we did not find support for dyadic coercion as a risk process leading to escalations in conflict. However, a higher likelihood of ending dyadic positive behaviors mediated between earlier levels of conflict and a latent construct of female conflict and IPV. Classic coercive dynamics may not apply to adolescent romantic relationships. Instead, not being able to reinforce levels of positivity during conflict predicted conflict and IPV as reported by females. The implications of these findings for understanding coercion in the escalation from conflict to IPV in adolescent romantic relationships are discussed.
