Aggregate Burden

This paper discusses the need to estimate the costs of an illness to properly allocate intervention resources for the various psychiatric disorders of childhood. Disorders that require the most community resources should be given the highest priority for early intervention programs. Factors to consider for estimating disorders which are most costly are discussed here: the incidence of the disorder, its severity, whether it is episodic or stable, and its impact on the individual, family and the community. These factors contribute to the aggregate burden of suffering caused by a disorder.

This paper is the last in a series of four using the concept of the aggregate burden of suffering to -review the major psychiatric disorders of childhood. This paper reviews the externalizing disorders of childhood to prioritize early intervention programs. The paper discusses the prevalence, course, risk and early indicators, associated impairments, and responses to intervention. The externalizing disorders affect the individual, family and community and are thought to result in the greatest aggregate burden of suffering of all the childhood mental disorders. Early intervention is advocated and will likely need to be intense and long term for this group of children. The need for research into efficient and effective programs is emphasized.

This paper is the third in a series of four using the concepts introduced in the paper Child Psychiatry and Early Intervention: I. The Aggregate Burden of Suffering. This paper reviews the developmental disorders of childhood to set priorities for early intervention programs. This review discusses the prevalence, course, risk, early indicators, associated impairments, and responses to intervention. The specific developmental disorders, especially learning disabilities, have a significant impact on community resources. Since the developmental disorders are easily recognized among preschool children, early intervention is feasible. However, successful interventions have yet to be demonstrated. Priority should be given to the development of effective interventions. There is a great need for research studies on the effects and effectiveness of early intervention with these individuals.

Serving families who live in rural communities can be a challenge for early intervention programs. Factors, such as travel, family needs, and limited program and community resources, have been identified as ongoing barriers for this population. Technology, specifically teleconferencing, can be a solution to provide equitable services compliant with Part C of Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA; 2004) mandates and professional practices. This article will discuss how to determine whether teleconference technology is a good fit and how to individualize, plan, and implement technology to support families in rural communities. It will also discuss legal and practical considerations that must be taken into account when using teleconferencing to discuss service delivery.

Although the predictors of delinquency are well-documented in the psychological and criminological literature, an understanding of their relationship with longitudinal criminality in an offender sample has not been achieved. The purpose of this thesis was to examine the relationship between childhood and adolescent criminal predictors and protective factors and the four criminal trajectories identified by Day et al. (2008). Results revealed differences in predictor items among the trajectory groups within the individual, family and peer domains during childhood and adolescence. A backward stepwise procedure found that the following childhood variables, broken home and involvement with alternative care. Identifying the factors influencing the onset and maintenance of criminality can inform prevention and intervention programs that target antisocial and delinquent behaviour.

This paper uses the concepts introduced in the paper Child Psychiatry and Early Intervention: I. The Aggregate Burden of Suffering to review the internalizing disorders of childhood. This review surveys the internalizing disorders from the point of view of early intervention, for their prevalence, course, risk, early indicators, associated impairment, and responses to intervention. In general, the internalizing disorders have little effect on the community. When coupled with other disorders such as conduct disorder, or when dealing with suicide, the community's concern for these disorders increases and allocation of resources to target populations who are at risk becomes an important public health goal.
