TL;DR: Findings on stability, caseness, and prevalence suggest children's self-reported anxious symptoms in the early elementary school years may have clinical significance, however, further study is necessary before firm conclusions can be drawn.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined two specific questions: (1) are there differences in parenting behaviors between anxious and non-anxious mothers and (2) are parenting behaviors within these two groups associated with adverse outcomes in children (i.e., internalizing and externalizing symptoms)?

TL;DR: In a nationally representative data set (Add Health), middle school students with relatively greater absenteeism at Study Year 1 tended toward increased depression and conduct problems in Study Year 2, over and above the effects of autoregressive associations and demographic covariates.

TL;DR: This work is a first step toward developing future community-level environmental preventive interventions geared to reduce community VAOD exposure among youthful urban populations and may prove to be useful to other public health research groups as well.
