<h2>Abstract</h2>
<h2>Background</h2>
<p>The efficacy of structured physical exercise (SPE) has been examined in empirical studies to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This review aimed (i) to systematically review and quantify the effects of SPE on ADHD symptomology and executive function (primary outcomes) and on physical health, physical fitness and mental health issues (secondary outcomes) in children/adolescents with ADHD; (ii) to evaluate the study quality and explore moderation of the effects of SPE; and (iii) to summarize the design of SPE interventions.</p>
<h2>Methods</h2>
<p>An extensive literature search in the databases of PubMed, Web of Science and EBSCOhost was conducted to identify eligible intervention studies for meta-analysis. A descriptive account of the features of the studies is provided, including assessment of risk/quality (ROB-2/ROBINS-I). Standardized mean difference (SMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated with random effects models to compare post-intervention effects.</p>
<h2>Results</h2>
<p>A total of 18 studies were included in the review. The majority of the studies examined the effects of SPE lasting for 3–12 weeks. Assessment of bias/quality indicated half of the included studies as high quality. The meta-analysis (pooled <i>n</i> = 627) revealed that SPE had a positive effect on primary and secondary outcomes, that is, inattention (SMD = −1.79), executive function (SMD = 2.19), physical fitness (SMD = 1.39) and mental health issues (SMD = −0.89). Subgroup analysis showed that long-term practice of SPE, featured/tailored SPE, non-Chinese participants, taking methylphenidate and study with low quality had larger effects.</p>
<h2>Conclusions</h2>
<p>There is emerging evidence that SPE is a promising option to enhance symptom management and physical/mental health in children/adolescents with ADHD.</p>

<p> <span class="a-plus-plus abstract-section id-a-sec1"></p>
<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Background</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are being increasingly introduced in clinical registries, providing a personal perspective on the expectations and impact of treatment. The aim of this study was to describe response rates (RR) to PROMs in clinical registries and databases and to examine the trends over time, and how they change with the registry type, region and disease or condition captured.</p>
<p> </span><br />
<span class="a-plus-plus abstract-section id-a-sec2"></p>
<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Methods</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">We conducted a scoping literature review of MEDLINE and EMBASE databases, in addition to Google Scholar and grey literature. All English studies on clinical registries capturing PROMs at one or more time points were included. Follow up time points were defined as follows: baseline (if available), < 1 year, 1 to < 2 years, 2 to < 5 years, 5 to < 10 years and 10 + years. Registries were grouped according to regions of the world and health conditions. Subgroup analyses were conducted to identify trends in RRs over time. These included calculating average RRs, standard deviation and change in RRs according to total follow up time.</p>
<p> </span><br />
<span class="a-plus-plus abstract-section id-a-sec3"></p>
<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Results</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">The search strategy yielded 1,767 publications. Combined with 20 reports and four websites, a total of 141 sources were used in the data extraction and analysis process. Following the data extraction, 121 registries capturing PROMs were identified. The overall average RR at baseline started at 71% and decreased to 56% at 10 + year at follow up. The highest average baseline RR of 99% was observed in Asian registries and in registries capturing data on chronic conditions (85%). Overall, the average RR declined as follow up time increased.</p>
<p> </span><br />
<span class="a-plus-plus abstract-section id-a-sec4"></p>
<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Conclusion</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">A large variation and downward trend in PROMs RRs was observed in most of the registries identified in our review. Formal recommendations are required for consistent collection, follow up and reporting of PROMs data in a registry setting to improve patient care and clinical practice. Further research studies are needed to determine acceptable RRs for PROMs captured in clinical registries.</p>

<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Abstract</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">Motivational studies have helped to understand human psychology as well as to better comprehend people’s learning, achievement, thinking, and comprehension skills. The current study aimed to adapt the Contextual Achievement Motivation Measure (CAMM) developed in English to the Turkish language. The Contextual Achievement Motivation Measure, unlike other achievement motivation scales in literature, measures achievement motivation in school, workplace, community, and family contexts. Since no scale measures contextual achievement motivation in Turkish literature, the current study is important. Three hundred thirty-six first-year college students participated in the study. According to the CFA analysis, the Turkish form of CAMM has preserved its original structure consisting of 21 items and 4 factors (school, workplace, family, community). The error covariance between items 5 and 11, and 3 and 9 were correlated to improve the model. The reliability coefficient for the overall subscale score was .88 based on Cronbach’s alpha reliability analysis. Measurement invariance analysis indicated that the scale scores were partially invariant for male and female participants. The current study will not only contribute to the studies in the field of achievement motivation in Turkiye but will also help to understand international motivation studies culturally, linguistically, and geographically in the fields of counselling, education, and psychology.</p>

<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Abstract</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">The study and application of procedures that result in stimulus relations via relational frame theory (RFT) and stimulus equivalence (applied as equivalence-based instruction; EBI), have made tremendous strides in contemporary behavior analysis. However, applications at scale lag basic and translational research. We turn our attention inward to investigate potential causes. We replicated and extended Enoch and Nicholson (<em class="a-plus-plus">Behavior Analysis in Practice, 13</em>(3), 609–617, <span class="a-plus-plus citation-ref citationid-c-r19">2020</span>) by conducting a survey of behavior analysts (<em class="a-plus-plus">n</em> = 129) to determine their perceptions, experiences, and barriers in carrying out research and practice based on RFT and EBI. Participants indicated an interest in RFT and EBI, and mostly perceive both within the scope of behavior analysis. A majority of behavior analysts reported formal education in EBI (78.3%), in contrast to a minority in RFT (15.5%). Adoption of procedures derived from RFT and EBI may be in proportion to formal education. Compounded with a lack of accuracy on basic knowledge questions, there is a potential gap in capacity in the field in addressing behavior related to complex verbal behavior.</p>
