Tue, 06 May 2008 13:00:38 -0700

A new course has been added to CE-credit.com. Here's the description:

There is an overrepresentation of persons with co-occurring disorders (COD) involved in the criminal justice system. The provision of integrated services to persons with COD has been identified as an evidence-based practice (EPB), and data suggests that positive public safety and health outcomes for justice involved persons with COD are associated with integrated program models as well. This paper reviews the research associated with integrated treatment, highlights efforts to adapt integrated treatment for justice involved persons with COD, and describes efforts along a justice continuum to identify and link these persons to integrated treatment.

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 13:19:20 -0700

A new course has been added to CE-credit.com. Here's the description:

The need to divert people with co-occurring mental and substance use disorders from the criminal justice system to treatment is increasingly apparent. Many offenders, both young and adult, whose misdemeanor offenses are related more to the symptoms of mental illness and substance use than to truly criminal behavior, are poorly served in a criminal justice system that offers little in the way of structured treatment. This publication describes the steps taken by King County (Seattle) Washington to provide an integrated approach to the multiple problems the identified populations present.

New Course: Suicidal Behavior in Adolescents: Relationship to Weight Status, Weight Control Behaviors, and Body Dissatisfaction (Addictions, Substance Use)

Sun, 16 Mar 2008 19:20:59 -0700

A new course has been added to CE-credit.com. Here's the description:

Abstract: Suicide is associated with full syndromal eating disorders, but it is unclear whether subsyndromal eating disorders carry the same risk. This study examined associations between suicidal behaviors and extreme and less extreme weight control behaviors (EWCB and LWCB, such as fasting, vomiting, meal skipping, etc.), body dissatisfaction, and weight status in adolescents. Method: Data on body dissatisfaction, depressive symptoms, suicidal ideation and attempts, and body mass index (BMI) were drawn from Project EAT, a survey of 4,746 7th-12th grade students. Multivariate logistic regression examined associations between eating- and weight-related variables and suicidality. Results: Suicidal ideation and suicide attempts were more commonly observed in adolescents with EWCB (boys: ideation OR = 2.12, attempts OR = 4.10; girls: ideation OR = 1.66, attempts OR = 2.29), LWCB (boys: ideation OR = 1.33, attempts OR = 1.76; girls: ideation OR = 1.77, attempts OR = 1.80), as well as body dissatisfaction (boys: ideation OR = 1.75, attempts OR = 2.23; girls: ideation OR = 1.77, attempts OR = 1.81), even after controlling for depressive symptoms. No association was observed between BMI and suicidal attempts or ideation. Discussion: Thus, it appears that suicidal behavior in adolescents is associated even with low-level eating disorder symptoms.

Abstract: Objective: This research presents normative data on the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire1 (EDE-Q) for samples of undergraduate women in the United States. Method: College women (N = 723), ages 18-25, completed the EDE-Q as part of a larger assessment battery. Results: Average scores, standard deviations, and percentile ranks for the raw Restraint, Eating Concern, Shape Concern, and Weight Concern subscales and the Global score are reported. Data on the occurrence of objective and subjective bulimic episodes and compensatory behaviors are presented. Conclusion: These results are helpful for clinicians and researchers in the interpretation of the EDE-Q scores of undergraduate women in the United States. Comparisons are drawn between the results for this sample and those of a United Kingdom sample of young adolescent females, an Australian community sample, and an Australian community age-matched sample.
