Study Preregistration: Do Parenting Programs Change Interrelations Among Child Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Conduct Disorder Characteristics? Individual Participant Data Network Analysis
May 21, 2026
The authors aim to investigate how parenting programs influence the interrelations among characteristics of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), and conduct disorder (CD) in children. By pooling individual participant data from approximately 44 randomized controlled trials, they plan to utilize network analysis to gain deeper insights into the specific changes in these characteristics resulting from the interventions, beyond what composite scores can reveal.
An Individual Participant Data Analysis: Optimizing Pharmacological Treatment in Children and Adolescents With Major Depressive Disorder
May 21, 2026
This study investigates how individual characteristics affect the efficacy and tolerability of antidepressants in children and adolescents with major depressive disorder (MDD). By analyzing individual participant data from ten randomized controlled trials, the authors found that fluoxetine was particularly effective in specific subgroups, such as children and females, while highlighting the need for precision medicine approaches in pediatric MDD management. The findings suggest that individual factors like age, sex, and symptom severity can influence treatment outcomes, emphasizing the importance of subgroup analyses in clinical trials.
Developmental Pathways From Genetic Predispositions to Psychopathology in Adolescence
May 20, 2026
The authors investigate how genetic predispositions, represented by polygenic scores (PGS) for various psychopathologies, influence the development of psychopathological symptoms from childhood to adolescence. By analyzing two longitudinal cohorts, they find that PGS for neurodevelopmental issues is significantly associated with both baseline and developmental trajectories of psychopathology symptoms, suggesting it may serve as a broad indicator of susceptibility in youth.
