In previous papers reporting on a thirty-year follow-up study of children who had once been seen in a child guidance clinic, the authors have reported on the relation of adult adjustment to broad categories of childhood behavior disturbances (1, 2, 3) and have recently begun to analyze more specific childhood problem behavior, e.g., running away (4), and its relation to adult adjustment.

Epidemiological Situation

AbstractFifteen years after our first investigation, a follow-up study was carried out with the purpose of assessing the evolution of schistosomiasis in the locality of Sabugo, Paracambi, state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, an area with low prevalence of the disease. The coprological techniques adopted were spontaneous sedimentation and Kato-Katz. Out of the 1356 individuals assessed, 13 (1%) were infected with Schistosoma mansoni. From those, 10 were males, 12 were over 15 years old, and at least 11 had been infected in Sabugo. All patients presented either the intestinal or the hepato-intestinal form of the disease, and 8 (61.5%) harboured light parasitic loads. In 1990, there were 27 (2.7%) infected individuals; less than half harboured light parasitic loads, with the predominance of moderate and heavy forms. Although our results indicate an improvement in the epidemiological situation of schistosomiasis in Sabugo, transmission of the disease in the locality is still active, especially among young males, and tends to be acquired during leisure activities.

ObjectiveExamine whether the severity of symptoms of depression was associated with the type of mental healthcare treatment (MHCT) received, independent of socioeconomic position (SEP).DesignRegister-based 6-month follow-up study on participants from the Danish General Suburban Population Study (GESUS) 2010–2013, who scored the Major Depression Inventory (MDI).ParticipantsNineteen thousand and eleven respondents from GESUS.InterventionsThe MHCT of the participants was tracked in national registers 4 months prior and 6 months after their MDI scores. MHCT was graduated in levels. SEP was defined by years of formal postsecondary education and income categorised into three levels. Data were analysed using logistic and Poisson regression analyses.OutcomesMHCT included number of contacts with: general practitioner (GP), GP mental health counselling, psychologist, psychiatrist, emergency contacts, admissions to psychiatric hospitals and prescriptions of antidepressants.ResultsFor 547 respondents with moderate to severe symptoms of depression there was no difference across SEP in use of services, contact (y/n), frequency of contact or level of treatment, except respondents with low SEP had more frequent contact with their GP. However, of the 547 respondents , 10% had no treatment contacts at all, and 47% had no treatment beyond GP consultation. Among respondents with no/few symptoms of depression, postsecondary education ≥3 years was associated with more contact with specialised services (adjusted OR (aOR) 1.92; 95% CI 1.18 to 3.13); however, this difference did not apply for income; additionally, high SEP was associated with fewer prescriptions of antidepressants (education aOR 0.69; CI 0.50 to 0.95; income aOR 0.56, CI 0.39 to 0.80) compared with low SEP.ConclusionParticipants with symptoms of depression were treated according to the severity of their symptoms, independent of SEP; however, more than half with moderate to severe symptoms received no treatment beyond GP consultation. People in low SEP and no/few symptoms of depression were more often treated with antidepressants. The study was approved by The Danish Data Protection Agency Journal number 2015-41-3984.

Visually Impaired Students

A study of currently and previously enrolled students at the Michigan School for the Blind was performed in order to assess how well the students’ needs were being met and to investigate the perceptions of parents, local school personnel, and state school personnel concerning programs for students. There was general agreement that past and present placements were appropriate. It was also shown that a higher percentage of students at the state school had access to specialized instruction and aids. Other advantages of the residential situation were specialized curriculum and extracurricular activities, training in living and leisure skills, small classes, and individualized attention.

Social Composition

Using multilevel models, the authors tested the hypothesis that high schools, through their curricular policies, operate as mechanisms that help members of privileged groups to take better advantage of postsecondary opportunities. The analysis was based on a 7-year follow-up study of 44,666 Israeli students who graduated from 385 high schools in 1991. The main findings were that (a) the curricular experience of students partly mediated between their sociodemographic characteristics and postsecondary enrollment, (b) the curricular arrangements of schools fully mediated the effects of their social composition on their graduates’ postsecondary education, and (c) graduates of socially privileged schools made a better use of their matriculation certificates. This afforded privileged students an additional advantage.

Adult Adjustment

The authors of this study compared the adult adjustment of a statewide random sample of 399 graduates and dropouts from high schools in rural areas with the adjustment of a statewide random sample of 541 of their counterparts from high schools in urban areas. These individuals were classified as learning disabled, behaviorally disordered, or mentally disabled. Information is provided on their employment, fringe benefits, living arrangements, and postsecondary education one and three years out of school. An overall composite delineating the level of successful adjustment of these individuals three years after leaving school is also provided.
