Applying the COM-B model to patient-reported barriers to medication adherence in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
This study examined parent- and patient-reported barriers to oral chemotherapy adherence with children with pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The medicine most often used was 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP). Forty-nine parents and 15 patients were surveyed and most reported at least one adherence barrier. Most of the barriers were about meeting other patients with ALL or meeting other parents. Patients also reported difficulty in finding out what their medications are, and what 6-MP does. These barriers can lead to relapse if they are not addressed.

A meta-analysis to guide the enhancement of CBT for childhood anxiety: exposure over anxiety management.
Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is the most empirically supported therapy for childhood anxiety disorders (CADs) but has not reliably outperformed other credible interventions. The current study used meta-analysis to examine the frequency with which the most common treatment components are included in outcome studies and the relation of these components to symptom improvement.
