Interim Relief and International Commercial Arbitration in North Carolina: Where We Are and Where We Should be Looking

This Comment argues that North Carolina should reexamine the interim relief provisions under the ICACA in order to reduce reliance on court assistance during the arbitral process, thereby identifying itself as a forum for international commercial arbitration that is increasingly receptive to the needs of the parties involved. Part I will generally describe when the ICACA applies in light of the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA). Part II will further discuss why, in light of this relationship between federal and state arbitration law, North Carolina should reexamine the interim relief provisions under the ICACA. Part III will highlight four issues concerning interim relief provisions that should be examined and offer suggestions for legislators and practitioners to consider in confronting these issues

Systematic review and meta-analysis: The association between child and adolescent depression and later educational attainment

This is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from Elsevier via the DOI in this recordObjective: The association between depression and educational attainment in young people is unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis examines the longitudinal association between depression and subsequent attainment, and its potential effect modifiers and mediators. Method: We searched Embase, PsycINFO, PubMed, ERIC and British Education Index from inception to 23 October 2019, conducted citation searching, and contacted authors for articles. Eligible studies reported on the longitudinal association between depression in children and adolescents age 4-18 years and later educational attainment. Two reviewers independently conducted screening, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment. Correlation coefficients were pooled in meta-analysis, and effect modifiers were explored using metaregression and stratification. Other evidence on confounders, modifiers and mediators was narratively synthesized. PROSPERO record: CRD42019123068. Results: Thirty-one studies were included, of which 22 were pooled in meta-analysis. There was a small but statistically significant association between depression and lower subsequent attainment (pooled Fisher’s z=-0.19, 95% CI=-0.22 to -0.16, I 2=62.9%). Fifteen studies also reported an enduring effect after adjusting for various confounders. No statistically significant effect modifiers were identified. Social and school problems may mediate between depression and low attainment. Conclusion: Depression was associated with lower educational attainment, but further research is needed to establish mechanisms. Nonetheless, there is a clear need for mental health and educational support among children and adolescents with depression.NIHRMQ Data Science AwardPsychiatry Research TrustUniversity of ExeterMedical Research Council (MRC)Janssen, GSK and TakedaPsychiatry Research Trus

The association between depression and later educational attainment in children and adolescents: a systematic review protocol.

This is the final version. Available from BMJ Open via the DOI in this record. INTRODUCTION: Depression represents a major public health concern for children and adolescents, and is thought to negatively impact subsequent educational attainment. However, the extent to which depression and educational attainment are directly associated, and whether other factors play a role, is uncertain. Therefore, we aim to systematically review the literature to provide an up-to-date estimate on the strength of this association, and to summarise potential mediators and moderators on the pathway between the two. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: To identify relevant studies, we will systematically search Embase, PsycINFO, PubMed, Education Resources Information Centre and British Education Index, manually search reference lists and contact experts in the field. Studies will be included if they investigate and report on the association between major depression diagnosis or depressive symptoms in children and adolescents aged 4-18 years (exposure) and later educational attainment (outcome). Two independent reviewers will screen titles, abstracts and full texts according to eligibility criteria, perform data extraction and assess study quality according to a modified version of the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. If sufficiently homogeneous studies are identified, summary effect estimates will be pooled in meta-analysis, with further tests for study heterogeneity, publication bias and the effects of moderators using meta-regression. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Because this review will make use of already published data, ethical approval will not be sought. The review will be submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal, presented at practitioner-facing conferences, and a lay summary will be written for non-scientific audiences such as parents, young people and teachers. The work will inform upcoming investigations on the association between child and adolescent mental health and educational attainment.NIHRMedical Research Counci

How and why community hospital clinicians document a positive screen for intimate partner violence: a cross-sectional study

BACKGROUND: This two-part study examines primary care clinicians' chart documentation and attitudes when confronted by a positive waiting room screen for intimate partner violence (IPV). METHODS: Patients at community hospital-affiliated health centers completed a screening questionnaire in waiting rooms that primary care providers (PCPs) were subsequently given at the time of the visit. We first reviewed the medical records of patients who screened positive for IPV, evaluating the presence and quality of documentation. Next we administered a survey to PCPs that measured their knowledge, attitudes and practice regarding IPV. RESULTS: Seventy-two percent of charts contained some documentation of IPV, however only 10% contained both a referral and safety plan. PCPs were more likely to refer patients (p < .05) who screened positively for mood or anxiety disorders, disclosed that they feared for their safety or were economically disadvantaged. Those that feared for their safety or endorsed mood or anxiety disorders were more likely to have notation of a safety plan in their records. When surveyed, 81.6% of clinicians strongly agreed that it is their role to inquire about IPV, but only 68% expressed confidence in their ability to manage it. In contrast, 93% expressed confidence in managing depression. Sixty-seven percent identified time constraints as a barrier to care. Predictors of PCP confidence in treating patients who have experienced IPV (p < .05) included hours of recent training and clinical experience with IPV. CONCLUSION: Mandatory waiting room screening for IPV does not result in high levels of referral or safety planning by PCPs. Despite the implementation of a screening process, clinicians lack confidence and time to address IPV in their patient populations suggesting that alternative methods of training and supporting PCPs need to be developed
