Skipping the Line: Inequality in Access to Developmental-Behavioral Care
CASE: The mother of an 18-month-old boy contacted the developmental and behavioral pediatrics clinic to request an evaluation because of concerns that her son is not using any words and only recently began walking. The child's mother became upset when she was notified that the clinic policy requires receipt of a formal request for evaluation from the primary care physician and that the first available appointment was in 9 months. Later that day, the child's grandmother contacted the clinic and reported that she is a member of the Donor Society affiliated with the university/medical system. Membership in the Donor Socie...

Perinatal Physiological and Psychological Risk Factors and Childhood Sleep Outcomes: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Conclusion: Maternal pregnancy and obstetric factors and psychological factors are potential risk factors of poor child sleep health. Future research is warranted to better understand the impact of these risk factors on long-term child sleep outcomes and their potential mediating mechanisms.

A Road Map for Academic Developmental-Behavioral Pediatric Practices to Increase Access
ABSTRACT: There are currently at least 19 million children and adolescents in the United States with disorders of development (learning disorders, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, intellectual disabilities, autism, motor incoordination/cerebral palsy, etc.) and only approximately 800 board-certified developmental-behavioral pediatricians (DBPs) practicing nationally. Given the astronomical mismatch between the number of children and adolescents with developmental disorders and the number of board-certified DBPs, developmental-behavioral pediatric consultations are likely the most inaccessible in all of medicin...

Novel Neurocognitive Profile in a Minority of Boys with 47,XXY (Klinefelter Syndrome)
Discussion: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to identify an alternative profile of 47,XXY with increased verbal capabilities in comparison with perceptual skills. In addition, previous research has found that boys with 47,XXY often show increased receptive vocabulary skills in comparison with their expressive vocabulary skills early in life. Therefore, our findings of commensurate expressive and receptive vocabulary skills suggest that age may be an impactful factor in vocabulary development. Further research is necessary to determine individualized treatment options for these patients, focusing on...

Survey of Well-Being of Young Children (SWYC): Preliminary Norms for Screening for Developmental Delay in Brazilian Children Younger than 65 Months
Conclusions: We established the cutoff points to interpret the DM-SWYC-BR results when screening for developmental delays in Brazilian children. The satisfactory psychometric properties support its use for screening developmental delays in the public health system. Reliable assessment tools are critical to promoting child development effectively, ensuring timely intervention. (Source: Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics)

Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms and the Quality of Maternal-Child Interactions in Mothers of Preterm Infants
Conclusion: Maternal posttraumatic stress symptoms seem to be associated with the quality of maternal-child interactions at age 1 year among a cohort of urban, mother-preterm infant dyads. These findings have implications for strength-based intervention development. (Source: Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics)

Differential Contributions of Parental Warmth and Mindfulness to Child Executive Function and Pediatric Type 1 Diabetes Management
Conclusion: Parental warmth may constitute a key parenting behavior promoting effective pediatric T1DM management. Enhancing parental warmth may be an important target of interventions aiming to improve HbA1c. Although child EF was unrelated to HbA1c in this sample, given positive associations between parental warmth and mindfulness and child EF, longitudinal research is warranted to examine whether these positive parenting behaviors may confer long-term benefits for T1DM self-management through improved EF.

Relationships Among Parenting Stress and Well-Being, COVID-19 Information Management, and Children's COVID-19 Fear
ABSTRACT: Objective: During the COVID-19 pandemic, caregivers who are facing high stress levels and decreased emotional well-being may parent their children differently. Certain children are experiencing greater fear in response to COVID-19, and research is needed to identify parenting behaviors significantly linked with children's COVID-19 fear. The purpose of this article was to evaluate whether the association between parenting stress and children's COVID-19 fear could be explained by parents' COVID-19 information management and emotional well-being. Methods: Participants were recruited through Amazon Mec...

Child Media Use During COVID-19: Associations with Contextual and Social-Emotional Factors
Conclusion: Lower parenting stress predicted greater digital media use. Greater digital media use during the pandemic may have enabled parents to focus on other needs. Use of media for social connection predicted greater prosocial behaviors. Engagement-prolonging digital media predicted PMU. Pediatric providers may wish to consider family context when addressing digital media use and encourage socially oriented digital media. (Source: Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics)

Anxiety, Depression, and Social Skills in Girls with Fragile X Syndrome: Understanding the Cycle to Improve Outcomes
This study is designed to better understand these symptoms in school-age girls, particularly as they relate to age, social skills, and functional outcomes. Methods: We compared 58 girls aged 6 to 16 years with FXS with 46 age-matched, sex-matched, and developmentally matched peers without FXS on measures of anxiety, depression, social skills, adaptive behavior, and quality of life. Results: Girls with FXS 10.5 years and older demonstrated significantly higher levels of depression, withdrawal, and social avoidance than girls younger than 10.5 years with FXS (p-values (Source: Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics)

A Population-Based Study of Associations Among Child Screen Media Use, Social-Contextual Factors, and School Readiness
Conclusion: Results add to evidence that the relation between screen media use and outcomes in young children is likely complex. Future work should prioritize examining impacts of screen media use on social and behavioral functioning to further inform the evaluation of relative benefits and costs of child screen media use.

COVID-19 Vaccines for Children with Developmental Disabilities: Survey of New York State Parents' Willingness and Concerns
We report associations between vaccine willingness and concerns and race/ethnicity, child age, in-person schooling, routine/flu vaccinations, and DD diagnoses. Willingness was categorized as “got/will get ASAP” (high), “wait and see/only if required,” or “definitely not.” Results: A total of 352 parents (49.1% White) responded. Willingness differed by age (p (Source: Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics)
