             nurse practitioner students (n = 6) and psychology
             interns (n = 10). Training participants were invited to
             complete verbal feedback, self-report questionnaires, and a
             high-fidelity patient simulation before and after the
             training. Self-report questionnaire results revealed no
             changes in knowledge or attitudes, but qualitative analysis
             of verbal feedback reflected improvements in attitudes and
             behaviors relevant to cultural competence. Results from the
             simulation also demonstrated an increase in measurable
             cultural competence behavioral indicators.},

   Abstract = {Functional abdominal pain (FAP) is one of the most common
             childhood medical complaints, associated with significant
             distress and impairment. Little is known about how children
             understand their pain. Do they attribute it to personal
             weakness? Do they perceive pain as having global impact,
             affecting a variety of activities? How do they cope with
             pain? We explored the pain beliefs of 5- to 9-year-old
             children with FAP using a novel Teddy Bear Interview task in
             which children answered questions about a Teddy bear's pain.
             Responses were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively.
             Results indicate that the majority of young children with
             FAP are optimistic about pain outcomes. Children generated
             many types of coping strategies for Teddy's pain and
             adjusted their calibration of Teddy's pain tolerance
             dependent on the activity being performed. Early warning
             signs also emerged: a subset of children were pessimistic
             about Teddy's pain, and several children identified coping
             strategies that, while developmentally appropriate, could
             lead to excessive help seeking if not intervened upon (e.g.,
             physician consultation and shot). The Teddy Bear Interview
             allows children to externalize their pain, making it a
             useful tool to access cognitive pain constructs in younger
             children. Thus, these findings highlight the importance of
             early intervention for childhood FAP.},

   Abstract = {There is a high prevalence of pain-related somatic symptoms
             among children with internalizing disorders. Despite the
             documented comorbidity between somatic and internalizing
             symptoms in youth, there are limited empirically supported
             interventions that simultaneously target these issues. In
             light of this, the current pilot study investigated the
             feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a novel 12-week
             manualized group-based CBT-yoga protocol, which aimed to
             target co-occurring physical and internalizing symptoms in a
             sample of youth. Twenty-eight children between the ages of
             10 and 12 years old who had clinically relevant
             internalizing symptoms and pain-related somatic symptoms
             were enrolled in the 12-week intervention protocol.
             Attendance rates and parent and child responses on social
             validity scales provided measures of feasibility.
             Preliminary efficacy was examined through a series of paired
             sample t tests, measuring changes in internalizing and
             somatic symptoms, and pain-related coping following the
             intervention. Results suggest strong levels of childand
             parent-rated feasibility. Preliminary data also reveal
             improvements in internalizing and somatic symptoms following
             the intervention, in addition to improvements in
             pain-related coping. These findings provide initial support
             for the feasibility and acceptance of an integrative
             group-based intervention combining cognitive-behavioral
             strategies with yogic practices.},

   Abstract = {UNLABELLED: Functional abdominal pain (FAP) is a common
             childhood somatic complaint that contributes to impairment
             in daily functioning (e.g., school absences) and increases
             risk for chronic pain and psychiatric illness. Cognitive
             behavioral treatments for FAP target primarily older
             children (9 + years) and employ strategies to reduce a
             focus on pain. The experience of pain may be an opportunity
             to teach viscerally hypersensitive children to interpret the
             function of a variety of bodily signals (including those of
             hunger, emotions) thereby reducing fear of bodily sensations
             and facilitating emotion awareness and self-regulation. We
             designed and tested an interoceptive exposure treatment for
             younger children (5-9 years) with FAP. Assessments included
             diagnostic interviews, 14 days of daily pain monitoring, and
             questionnaires. Treatment involved 10 weekly appointments.
             Using cartoon characters to represent bodily sensations
             (e.g., Gassy Gus), children were trained to be "FBI agents"
             - Feeling and Body Investigators - who investigated
             sensations through exercises that provoked somatic
             experience. 24 parent-child dyads are reported. Pain
             (experience, distress, and interference) and negative affect
             demonstrated clinically meaningful and statistically
             significant change with effect sizes ranging from 0.48 to 71
             for pain and from 0.38 to 0.61 for pain distress, total
             pain: X2 (1, n = 24) = 13.14, p < 0.0003. An
             intervention that helps children adopt a curious stance and
             focus on somatic symptoms reduces pain and may help lessen
             somatic fear generally. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION:

   Abstract = {IMPORTANCE: Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) has been
             established as efficacious for obsessive-compulsive disorder
             (OCD) among older children and adolescents, yet its effect
             on young children has not been evaluated sufficiently.
             OBJECTIVE: To examine the relative efficacy of family-based
             CBT (FB-CBT) involving exposure plus response prevention vs
             an FB relaxation treatment (FB-RT) control condition for
             children 5 to 8 years of age. DESIGN, SETTING, AND
             PARTICIPANTS: A 14-week randomized clinical trial (Pediatric
             Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Treatment Study for Young
             Children [POTS Jr]) conducted at 3 academic medical centers
             between 2006 and 2011, involving 127 pediatric outpatients 5
             to 8 years of age who received a primary diagnosis of OCD
             and a Children's Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale total
             score of 16 or higher. INTERVENTIONS: Participants were
             randomly assigned to 14 weeks of (1) FB-CBT, including
             exposure plus response prevention, or (2) FB-RT. MAIN
             OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: Responder status defined as an
             independent evaluator-rated Clinical Global
             Impression-Improvement scale score of 1 (very much improved)
             or 2 (much improved) and change in independent
             evaluator-rated continuous Children's Yale-Brown Obsessive
             Compulsive Scale total score. RESULTS Family-based CBT was
             superior to FB-RT on both primary outcome measures. The
             percentages of children who were rated as 1 (very much
             improved) or 2 (much improved) on the Clinical Global
             Impression-Improvement scale at 14 weeks were 72% for FB-CBT
             and 41% for FB-RT. The effect size difference between FB-CBT
             and FB-RT on the Clinical Global Impression-Improvement
             scale was 0.31 (95% CI, 0.17-0.45). The number needed to
             treat (NNT) with FB-CBT vs FB-RT was estimated as 3.2 (95%
             CI, 2.2-5.8). The effect size difference between FB-CBT and
             FB-RT on the Children's Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive
             Scale at week 14 was 0.84 (95% CI, 0.62-1.06). CONCLUSIONS
             AND RELEVANCE: A comprehensive FB-CBT program was superior
             to a relaxation program with a similar format in reducing
             OCD symptoms and functional impairment in young children
             (5-8 years of age) with OCD. TRIAL REGISTRATION:

   Abstract = {Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is defined as a set of
             processes that facilitate the conscientious, explicit, and
             judicious integration of individual clinical expertise with
             the best available external clinical evidence from
             systematic research in making decisions about the care of
             individual patients. EBM focuses not only on grading the
             strength of the evidence but also on the processes and tools
             that are necessary for clinicians to continually upgrade
             their knowledge and skills for those problems encountered in
             daily practice. This article, authored by members of the
             Duke Pediatric Psychiatry EBM Seminar Team, (1) describes
             EBM as applied to the training of child and adolescent
             psychiatrists in the Division of Child and Adolescent

             gratification. In an externally imposed delay of
             gratification situation, 30 mothers from a rural university
             community taught their children strategies that could help
             them refrain from touching a brightly wrapped present when
             the mothers left the room. Results showed that mothers of
             children who did not delay gratification exhibited teaching
             behaviors and child-rearing attitudes consistent with a
             permissive parenting style, whereas mothers of children who
             did delay gratification exhibited teaching behaviors and
             child-rearing attitudes consistent with an authoritative
             parenting style. The results of this study are discussed

   Abstract = {This chapter addresses the many challenging issues faced by
             children who struggle to attend school. First, we review
             history and terminology and discuss the longstanding
             difficulty of accurately classifying and understanding these
             children and families. We then summarize Christopher Kearney
             and his colleagues’ important school refusal framework
             that uses functional analysis as the key organizing rubric
             to understand what causes and maintains school refusal
             behavior. Finally, we use this framework to integrate and
             explore recent trends in digital technology that both
             provide resources and challenges as children have more
             opportunity to connect to educational activities but also be
             distracted from them. Throughout the chapter, we examine the
             complexities so often experienced when assessing and
             intervening with children and families who refuse school by
             using a challenging case example to illustrate key
             concepts.},
