Brief Report: Adherence to Fluid Recommendations in Children Receiving Treatment for Retentive EncopresisEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions Children's increased clear fluid intake did not equate to high fluid adherence. Children's high juice consumption is concerning as it could place them at risk for other negative health consequences. Future research should examine whether enhanced fluid education and use of behavior change strategies yield higher fluid adherence. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Psychology)

Brief Report: Children's Response to Serious Illness: Perceptions of Benefit and Burden in a Pediatric Cancer PopulationEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion The BBSC is internally reliable and preliminary data supports the validity of separate benefit and burden constructs. Children report positive and negative aspects of their illness simultaneously, and perceptions of benefit and burden function as independent constructs. The BBSC is a useful measure for pediatric cancer patients that could be applied to children experiencing other significant life events. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Psychology)

Cultural Factors and Family-Based HIV Prevention Intervention for Latino YouthEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Latino youth are the fastest growing ethnic group in the United States and are at considerable risk for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), given that they have an earlier onset of sexual activity and use condoms less consistently than European American adolescents. Theorists and scholars have emphasized the importance of taking culture into account in sexuality interventions with Latino adolescents, yet few culturally tailored interventions have been developed for this population. Given the emphasis on familismo and collectivism among Latinos, family-based programs are likely to be well received and coul...

Validity and Reliability of an Adolescent and Parent Rating Scale of Type 1 Diabetes Adherence Behaviors: The Self-Care Inventory (SCI)Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions In addition to demonstrating strong psychometrics, this research provides independent support for the SCI. Thus, the SCI is consistent with recent criteria proposed by Quittner et al. (Journal of Pediatric Psychology, 33, 916–936) for an empirically supported measure of regimen adherence. Although other methods of accessing adherence may provide more comprehensive assessments, the brevity, ease-of-implementation, and robustness for multiple regimens makes the SCI an ideal tool for clinicians and researchers.
