Challenges and opportunities in the science of research to practice: lessons le...
Wainberg,Milton L.; Mann,Claudio G.; Norcini-Pala,Andrea; McKinnon,Karen; Pinto,Diana; Pinho,Veronica; Cavalcanti,Maria T.; Cheng-Shiun,LeuObjective: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention efficacy trials with psychiatric patients have been conducted in research settings in high-resourced countries, establishing short-term efficacy for reducing sexual risk behavior. None has been implemented within systems of care. In the last decade, overcoming this research-to-practice gap has become a focus of implementation science. This paper describes...

Figueiredo,Tiago; Erthal,Pilar; Fortes,Dídia; Asherson,Phillip; Mattos,PauloAbstract Introduction: The concept of mind wandering refers to periods during which attention and content of thoughts depart from the original idea or activity being performed. The phenomenon occurs commonly in the general population and the Mind Wandering Excessively Scale (MEWS) evaluates its frequency, intensity and related negative outcomes. Objective: To describe the cross-cultural adaptation of the MEWS. ...
By the book: ADHD prevalence in medical students varies with analogous methods ...
Mattos,Paulo; Nazar,Bruno P.; Tannock,RosemaryObjective: The marked increase in the prevalence of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) among university students gives rise to questions about how best to diagnose in this setting. The aim of the present study was to calculate ADHD prevalence in a large non-clinical sample of medical students using a stepwise design and to determine whether ADHD diagnosis varies if interviewees use additional probi...

Regalla,Maria Angélica; Guilherme,Priscilla; Aguilera,Pablo; Serra-Pinheiro,Maria Antonia; Mattos,PauloObjective: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is associated with impaired daily functioning in a wide range of domains. Resilience, the ability to overcome and recover from challenges, has been scarcely investigated in ADHD and could potentially provide novel strategies for treatment. However, since ADHD is often comorbid with other clinical conditions, it is necessary to better understand if it im...
