Abstract

This study reports on the validity of a structured, standardized admission interview for dentistry. An entire class of 86 fourth-year dental students at The University of Iowa was studied, and the relationships between information from the interview, faculty ratings, and numerous dental and predental academic data were compared. Many correlations were found to be significant, which permitted technical description of three aspects of validity: concurrent, content, and construct. Reliability of both the instrument and the interview method were shown to affect validity.

Correlates of medical compliance among hemophilic boys.

Twenty-nine males with hemophilia completed the Medical Compliance Incomplete Stories Test (M-CIST), and their scores were correlated with health care professionals' ratings of four aspects of medical compliance, along with measures of possible moderating variables. The results indicated that significant associations were found between most of the M-CIST category scores, particularly the Compliance/coping subscale, and the health care specialists' ratings of how well the children exhibited compliant responses to bleeding episodes, and inverse associations with the incidence of monthly bleeding episodes. The findings suggested that the M-CIST continues to demonstrate promise as an instrument to be used in studies of compliance among pediatric chronic illness patients.

Emotional disorders in learning disabled adolescents.

We retrospectively reviewed patients discharged from the psychiatric inpatient adolescent service and correlated neuropsychological subtypes with the patient's psychiatric diagnoses. Depressed learning disabled patients had visual memory and processing deficits. Conduct or behaviorally disordered patients had expressive language deficits. Learning disability subtypes may affect psychotherapy and therefore should be known when planning psychotherapy.
