Validation of Child Drawing Hospital Scale (CD: H) and the Place of the Drawing in the Evaluation...
Dental AnxietyDental Pain2 moreObjectives: Our study aimed to perform a Turkish validation study of the Child Drawing: Hospital (CD:H) Scale and evaluate the dental anxiety and pain experienced during the treatment by drawing. Study Design: Pediatric patients between the ages of 4-13 who applied to the Pediatric Dentistry Department between 2018-2020 were included in the study. Following the translation of the CD:H Scale into Turkish and linguistic-cultural validation, the behaviors of pediatric patients during treatment were evaluated with the Frankl Behavior Rating Scale, the pain they experienced during treatment with the Wong- Baker Face Rating Scale, and their anxiety levels were evaluated with the pictures drawn by the patients at the end of the treatment. The data were analyzed with Statistical Package for the Social Sciences v23, and the significance level was taken as p <0.05. Results: Within the scope of the scale's reliability-validity study, the Intra-Class Correlation Coefficient (ICC) was evaluated with test-retest consistency. For section A,B,C and total score reliability was found to be positive and strong level correlation. Dental anxiety of boys was higher than girls. Conclusions: The Turkish version of the CD:H Scale is a reliable and valid scale that can be used to evaluate the dental anxiety of Turkish pediatric patients.

Trial of the Youth Readiness Intervention
Anxiety Disorder/Anxiety StateDepressive Disorder/Psychology5 moreThe research will first examine data obtained from YRI participants to investigate effects of the group sessions on psychosocial and functioning outcomes in youth. In pursuit of this aim, this research will investigate the following hypothesis: Participation in the Youth Readiness Intervention will reduce symptoms of internalizing, externalizing, trauma-related symptoms, and improve prosocial skills and functioning among war-affected 15-24 year olds in Sierra Leone. The research also intends to examine whether youth enrolled in a psychosocial "Youth Readiness Intervention" (YRI) and a complementary education program fare better than an education-only control group, a psychosocial-only control group, and a waitlist control group. In pursuit of this second aim, this research will investigate the following hypothesis: A combined psychosocial-education program is an effective paradigm for improving psychosocial, functional, educational, and economic self-sufficiency outcomes among war-affected youth.

An Open Label Study of Clinical Utility and Patient Outcomes of the Genecept Assay
Treatment Resistant DepressionGeneralized Anxiety DisorderGenomind has developed and introduced a battery of genetic tests, the Genecept Assay, which clinicians can administer to patients using a simple saliva sample technique. The present study proposes to enroll 1. Subjects (patients who have consented to using the Genecept Assay) and 2. Clinician study participants (clinicians who have ordered the Assay on behalf of their patients). This study will involve the collection of responses from both Subjects and clinician study participants with the intention of correlating this information to Subject genetic data.

Intranasal Administration of Neuropeptide Y in Healthy Male Volunteers
Mood DisorderAnxiety DisordersThere is growing evidence that neuropeptides act as neuronal messengers in the brain and have diverse functions that may include the regulation of mood and behavior. For example, neuropeptide Y (NPY) is thought to play a role in the adaptive stress response. The therapeutic application of neuropeptides for psychiatric disorders has been limited by difficult and unreliable penetration of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). However, recent data suggest that intranasal administration may provide a means of effectively delivering some of these neuropeptides to the brain. Thus far it is unclear if this is the case for NPY. The aims of this project are: To evaluate, in 15 healthy male volunteers aged 25-45, the effect of intranasal NPY administration (0, 50 and 100 nmol) on its levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), measured by means of lumbar puncture using an intraspinal catheter between L4 and L5, and in plasma, measured using an intravenous catheter in the forearm. One of the three treatments will be administered to each participant in a double-blind fashion. The 0 nmol condition will serve as the placebo control. To test the effect of intranasal NPY administration on mood and anxiety.
