Background: Interventions that include action planning are more effective than others to reduce aggression among at-risk adolescents. However, they often include other behaviour change techniques. The efficiency of interventions could be improved if action planning on its own could reduce aggression. The current study investigates the effect of a volitional help sheet (VHS) that prompts the creation of action plans to manage anger in response to specific or generic anger triggers. It was hypothesised that participants completing the VHS would have lower levels of aggression and anger at follow-up. The moderation effects of violent intentions, callous-unemotional traits and negative urgency were also tested.Methods: One hundred adolescents (10-17 years old) with behavioural problems were recruited and randomised to three conditions: specific anger triggers, generic anger trigger or active control. An active control group was used to blind participants and teachers to group allocation. Self-reported data on anger and aggression was collected at baseline, one month and six months after intervention at the participants’ schools. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov (identification number NCT03693209).Results: Eighty-one participants completed at least one follow-up and were included in the analysis. Neither VHS had a significant effect on anger or aggression overall, but moderator effects were found; both VHS were effective for participants with high callous-unemotional traits and low negative urgency. There were no differences between specific and generic triggers.Conclusions: Adolescents with high callous-unemotional traits have traditionally been seen as a difficult population to treat. The VHS is a cost-effective technique to reduce aggression in this population which is easy to implement. Future studies are needed to identify which behaviour change techniques are needed for other groups.

BackgroundThis paper describes the 5-year outcome of a cohort of patients who had received a cognitive therapy intervention during an acute episode of non-affective psychosis.MethodThirty-four out of the original 40 patients who had taken part in a randomised controlled trial of a cognitive intervention were assessed, using standardised instruments completed at entry into the study. In the original trial, half the patients received a cognitive therapy programme (CT group) and the other half received recreational activities and support (ATY group).ResultsAt follow-up no significant differences in relapse rate, positive symptoms or insight between the groups were found, although the CT group did show significantly greater perceived ‘Control over illness’ than the ATY group. For individuals who had experienced a maximum of one relapse in the follow-up period, self-reported residual delusional beliefs and observer-rated hallucinations and delusions were significantly less in the CT than in the ATY group.ConclusionCognitive therapy applied in the acute phase of a psychotic disorder can produce enduring and significant clinical benefits if experience of relapse can be minimised.

Inflammatory markers including C-Reactive Protein (CRP) are increasingly used within research and clinical settings. Yet, varying methodologies for cleaning immunoassay data with out of range (OOR) samples may alter characteristic levels of CRP, thereby obscuring interpretation and reliability. This study investigated the influence of eight immunoassay OOR data treatment techniques on salivary CRP (sCRP) samples from at-risk adolescents. Participants from the ‘Sleep and Education: learning New Skills Early’ (SENSE) Study were 86 adolescents at-risk for depression (50 female), aged 14.29 years (SD=1.04). ANOVA results showed no statistically significant differences in average morning (F(7, 590)=1.24, p=.28) and evening (F(7, 599)=1.29, p=.25) values produced by each OOR data cleaning technique. However, varying techniques produced differences in the magnitude of Pearson’s correlations between consecutive saliva samples (r’s between .27 – .78), and influenced the significance of a sCRP diurnal pattern; two techniques produced statistically higher morning than evening sCRP levels (t(85)=2.70, p=.01 and t(85)=2.67, p=.01), whereas six techniques failed to find statistical differences between morning and evening sCRP levels (p’s >.05). Varying techniques also produced statistically divergent associations between sCRP and age and depressive symptoms. Results from this study provide evidence for the temporal stability of sCRP among adolescents, show winsorization as an effective OOR data management technique, and highlight the influence of methodological decisions in cleaning salivary biomarker data and the need for consistency within the field.
