Study Notes
Behavioral Pediatrics and ABA
- Few children in the US have a dedicated mental health provider, but all have medical care.
- Pediatricians are the first point of contact for behavioral/emotional concerns.
- About 25% of children in primary care present with behavioral/emotional disorders.
- Another 40% show subclinical behaviors/emotions concerning caregivers.
Four Primary Domains of Behavioral Pediatrics
- Evaluating/treating common child behavior problems in primary care.
- Influence of physiological variables on child behavior problems.
- Influence of behavioral variables on child medical problems.
- Contextual variables influencing the first three domains.
Bedtime Problems
- 30% of families experience weekly sleep difficulties.
- Common issues include resistance to bed, fussing, crying, and leaving the bedroom.
- Medications can be prescribed, but often have side effects, and gains are lost with withdrawal.
Behavioral Treatment for Bedtime Problems
- Extinction: caregivers avoid the child's room after bedtime.
- Graduated Extinction: caregivers gradually increase time spent ignoring bedtime issues.
- Positive Routines: involves a calming bedtime ritual before bedtime.
- Bedtime Pass: child receives a pass for acceptable requests after settling in.
Retentive Encopresis
- Functional encopresis (3-5% of referrals) involves involuntary/voluntary stool accidents.
- Usually linked to constipation, but not always.
Influence of Physiological Variables
- Physiological variables are major contributing factors to behavior problems.
- Physiological issues influence, but aren't the only reason for, presenting behaviors.
- Stomach pain might be the reason to miss school, and reinforcement occurs, like avoiding activities.
Influence of Behavioral Variables on Child Medical Problems
- Biofeedback treatments involve training patients to control physiological processes to improve their health.
- Biofeedback training improves health, and health is improved.
Nocturnal Enuresis
- Repeated bedwetting. Usually at least two times a week, for three or more months.
- Commonly seen in first-grade.
Treatment for Nocturnal Enuresis
- Medication is common but may have side effects.
- Urine alarm systems are often a solution.
- Pairing alarms to bladder activation can lead to improved control.
Contextual Variables
- Aspects like doctor-patient communication, and patient compliance—are central to treatment.
- Includes factors beyond the specific medical condition.
Treatment Adherence
- Patient nonadherence is frequent in any medical setting.
- Factors such as patient/caregiver concerns, clinician traits, treatment complexity, need for social support, and clinician-patient rapport influence outcomes.
- Includes aspects such as rewards, incentives, prompting, health education, and monitoring.
