Testing a cognitive behavioural therapy program for anxiety in autistic adolescents: a feasibility study
CONCLUSION: This study suggests that the adaptation of the program 'Cool Kids - ASA' into an adolescent version is feasible and has the potential to show good effects thus enhancing the possibility of education, development and independence in future life for this group. Larger RCTs studies are, however, needed to examine the efficacy of the adolescent version.PMID:38690784 | DOI:10.1080/08039488.2024.2338206 (Source: Nordic Journal of Psychiatry)

Psychological symptoms and health-related quality of life in intubated and non-intubated intensive care survivors: A multicentre, prospective observational cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: Nearly one-in-two (47 %) of the intubated and non-intubated ICU survivors reported clinically significant psychological symptoms at 3 and 12-month follow-ups. Overall, more than 30 % at 3-months and over 20 % at 12-months of the survivors in both groups had moderate or worse problems with their usual activities and mobility. The presence of psychological symptoms and HRQOL impairments was similar between the groups.PMID:38690186 | PMC:PMC11056421 | DOI:10.1016/j.ccrj.2023.10.011 (Source: Critical Care and Resuscitation)

Long-term effects of alcohol consumption on anxiety in adults: A systematic review
CONCLUSIONS: A paucity of research on the longitudinal effects of alcohol consumption on anxiety was found, highlighting a significant gap in the research literature. Furthermore, existing research, primarily focussed on clinical subpopulations, has yielded mixed results. Further research is needed to explore the longitudinal dose dependent impact of alcohol consumption on anxiety using samples representative of national populations.PMID:38692070 | DOI:10.1016/j.addbeh.2024.108047 (Source: Addictive Behaviors)
