Examining engagement effects in an adaptive preventive intervention for college student drinking.
Conclusions: Even partial engagement in each component of the “light-touch” API rendered benefits. Analyses suggested that had all students in the intervention group engaged, the API would significantly reduce the change in alcohol-related consequences over the first semester in college.

The prognostic role of emotion regulation dynamics in the treatment of major depressive disorder.
Conclusions: The findings demonstrate the ability of first-session emotion regulation dynamics to serve as a prognostic variable. The findings further suggest that the adverse effect of emotion regulation dynamics on the patient’s prognosis can be mitigated by explicit work on changing maladaptive emotional patterns.

A framework for neurodiversity-affirming interventions for autistic individuals.
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, Vol 91(9), Sep 2023, 503-504; doi:10.1037/ccp0000839Despite being targets of intervention practice and research for over 60 years, autistic people have been left out of the conversation. Until recently, nearly no research or implementation work has sought the input of autistic people in regard to the design of interventions and, more importantly, how the goals for such interventions are prioritized and determined. This reframe has profound implications for autism-focused interventions and research, most of which have aimed to reduce or eliminate autism symptoms, with variable ...

Treatment length and symptom improvement in prolonged exposure and present-centered therapy for posttraumatic stress disorder: Comparing dose–response and good-enough level models in two manualized interventions.
Conclusions: Findings support the dose–response model of change in psychotherapy. There were notable differences in dropout across the treatment conditions, including rates, timing, and implications for outcomes. These differences likely reflect differences in content between the protocols. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology)

Mediators of change in online mindfulness-based cognitive therapy: A secondary analysis of a randomized trial of mindful mood balance.
This study investigates the differential impact of the MMB program paired with usual depression care (UDC) compared to UDC alone on the putative targets of self-reported mindfulness, decentering, and rumination and the extent to which change in these targets mediates subsequent depressive relapse among a sample of predominantly White, female participants, with residual depressive symptoms. Results: The MMB program relative to UDC was associated with a significantly greater rate of change in decentering (t = 4.94, p (Source: Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology)

The impact of multiple-behavior HIV interventions as a function of regional disadvantages: An analysis of syndemics.
Conclusions: Within the United States, the efficacy of multiple-behavior interventions was similar across different levels of representation of racial/ethnic and sexual minorities. The analyses used robust variance estimation with small-sample corrections to assess the differential effects of multiple-behavior interventions and Egger Sandwich test with the multilevel meta-analysis approach to detect selection biases.

Sexual identity and race/ethnicity as predictors of treatment outcome and retention in dialectical behavior therapy.
This study examined sexual identity, race/ethnicity, and their interaction as predictors of treatment outcome and retention in DBT. Method: Data were from five clinical trials conducted in research and community settings with a variety of adult populations (N = 269) engaged in standard DBT, augmented DBT, or DBT components. Longitudinal mixed-effects models evaluated sexual identity and racial/ethnic differences in clinical outcomes (suicide attempts, nonsuicidal self-injury [NSSI], global functioning, psychiatric hospitalizations) and retention. Results: Sexual identity, race/ethnicity, and their interaction did not predi...

Interpersonal problems as a predictor of outcome in psychotherapy for depressive and anxiety disorders: A multilevel meta-analysis.
This study aims to conduct a systematic review and meta-analytic synthesis of the association between patients’ baseline interpersonal problems and outcome in psychotherapy for depressive and anxiety disorders. Method: We conducted a three-level meta-analysis (i.e., disaggregating sampling variance, within-study variance, and between-study variance) of the interpersonal problems–outcome prediction (IPOP; as measured by the total distress factor of Inventory of Interpersonal Problems). Results: We found 40 effect sizes (ESs) nested within 21 primary studies. The three-level model showed a significant aggregated effect s...

E-Connect: Linking probation youth at risk for suicide to behavioral health services.
Conclusion: e-Connect is one of the first digital STB screening, referral, and linkage-to-service systems that use CDSS technology to successfully assist probation officers in linking youth on their caseload to treatment. Such an approach may support identification of STB and cross-systems linkage in other youth-serving organizations, such as schools, that increasingly manage youth BH problems with minimal clinical support.

Self-compassion and fear of compassion in the treatment of chronic depression: Mechanisms of change?
Conclusions: In the context of this study, it appears that fear of compassion may be a putative mechanism of change involved in alleviating depressive symptoms in patients with chronic depression treated with STPP. On the other hand, self-compassion appears to be an outcome of psychotherapy. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology)

Peers, play, and performance to build social salience in autistic youth: A multisite randomized clinical trial.
Conclusions: SENSE Theatre increases social salience as reflected by IFM, which in turn affected Vocal Expressiveness and Quality of Rapport. Results indicate that a neural mechanism supporting social cognition and driven by social salience is engaged by the treatment and has a generalized, indirect effect on clinically meaningful functional outcomes related to core symptoms of autism.
