Mental health symptoms and functional impairment in children with atopic dermatitis.
This study sought to determine the prevalence and predictors of social and behavioral symptoms and functional impairment among US children with atopic dermatitis (AD). Using MEPS data 1996-2015, findings showed that AD was associated with behavioral and functional impairment, similar to psoriasis and other common chronic conditions.

Implementation strategies for depression and anxiety screening in a pediatric cystic fibrosis center: a quality improvement project.
The objective of this study was to share key strategies that led to successful mental health screening (MHS) implementation in one pediatric cystic fibrosis center and to report implementation and screening outcomes. Results showed that leveraging coproduction to address stakeholder needs led to successful implementation of a sustainable MHS process.

Mental illness among youth with chronic physical conditions.
Using MEPS data, the authors compared the risk of incident mental health conditions (MHCs) in youth with and without chronic physical conditions (CPCs), and explored whether activity limitations might contribute to any association. They found that youth with CPCs have increased risk for MHCs and that limitations on activity may play a role in MHC development. They recommended that youth with CPCs may benefit from services that bolster their ability to participate in developmentally important activities and that may help to detect and treat new onset MHCs.

Acceptability of group visits for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in pediatric clinics.
The objective of the study was to describe the acceptability of ADHD group visits in busy pediatric clinics based on caregivers, child participants and facilitators. The authors found that the majority of comments from families and facilitators highlighted a variety of benefits of the use of a group visit model for ADHD chronic care. Despite systems-level barriers to implementation, families and facilitators felt the benefits outweighed the challenges.

Contributions of children with multiple chronic conditions to pediatric hospitalizations in the United States: a retrospective cohort analysis.
Researchers assessed how much of US pediatric inpatient care is used by children with multiple chronic conditions (CMCC) and which chronic conditions are the key drivers of hospital use. CMCC accounted for over one-fourth of acute-care hospitalizations and one-half of all hospital dollars for US pediatric care in 2012. Substantial CMCC hospital resource use involves children with mental health-related conditions.

Selected comorbidities of atopic dermatitis: atopy, neuropsychiatric, and musculoskeletal disorders.
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic pruritic inflammatory skin disease with substantial morbidity and quality of life impairment. This review summarizes recent developments in the atopic and neuropsychiatric comorbidities of AD. For example, it concludes that persons with AD appear to be at higher risk for multiple neuropsychiatric disorders, including depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, speech disorders in childhood, headaches, and seizures.
