“…Results of previous research have indicated that gender classification may lead to differing levels of chronic medical condition incidence and consequences of the disease and treatment ( Berg & Linton, 2009 ; Case et al, 2005 ; Madan-Swain et al, 2004 ). The differences in minority membership may be related to the oversampling for the Wave I data collection.…”

“…Diagnoses in the chronic medical condition group included cancer ( n = 27), diabetes ( n = 40), heart disease ( n = 44), epilepsy ( n = 107), and migraine ( n = 436). These conditions have been noted to have similar impact on school ( Barrett & Sachs, 2006 ; Berg & Linton, 2009 ; Brown, 2004 ; Clay, 2004 ; Delamater, Brady, & Blumberg, 2004 ; Phelps, 2006 ; Powers, Patton, Hommel, & Hershey, 2003 ; Robinson et al, 2010 ; Rovet & Fernandes, 2004 ; Taras & Potts-Datema, 2005 ) and multiple previous studies have used a similar list of diagnoses with the non-categorical approach for research ( Cadman, Boyle, Szaltmari, & Offord, 1987 ; Fowler et al, 1985 ; Maslow et al, 2011 ; Meijer et al, 2000 ; Thies, 1999 ). The healthy group ( N = 897) was randomly chosen from all who identified as having no history of health concerns at the Wave IV data collection point.…”

“…Children with a variety of chronic medical conditions have demonstrated lower levels of academic attainment, even when they appear to have typical cognitive functioning or global IQ scores similar to those of healthy peers ( Berg & Linton, 2009 ; Case, Fertig, & Paxson, 2005 ; Fowler et al, 1985 ; Haas & Fosse, 2008 ; Sexson & Madan-Swain, 1993 , 1995 ). Evidence suggests that children and adolescents with chronic medical conditions reach developmental milestones later than their healthy peers ( Barraclough & Machek, 2010 ; Maslow et al, 2011 ; Suris, Michaud, & Viner, 2004 ) and are less likely to complete high school on time ( Champaloux & Young, 2015 ; Haas & Fosse, 2008 ; Maslow, Haydon, McRee, & Halpern, 2012 ).…”

Students with chronic medical conditions often experience barriers to academic progress, including impact of disease and treatment, increased school absence, and altered expectations of teachers and parents. School belonging is an important element of academic success and can be promoted by positive relationships, structure, and support in the school environment. One aim of this study was to explore group differences in perceived school belonging and rate of on-time high school completion for students with chronic medical conditions as compared to their healthy peers. The second goal was to analyze relations between belonging, health status, and on-time completion of high school. Restricted data from Add Health was used to answer the study questions. Results showed that students with chronic medical conditions reported lower levels of perceived school belonging than their healthy peers (t (1056) = 3.69, p < .001, d = 0.23). Students with chronic medical conditions also attained lower levels of on-time high school graduation than their healthy peers (t (1056) = 2.60, p = .005, d = 0.16). Perceived school belonging had a different impact for students with chronic medical conditions than for those who had no health concerns. Each unit increase in belonging for students with health impairment was related to a 63% increased likelihood of on-time high school graduation (OR = 1.629, p = .003). School belonging is especially important for students living with chronic medical conditions. Finding ways to facilitate a stronger sense of school belonging may be a way to support desired academic outcomes.

“…This is particularly the case for those injuries or illnesses that directly impact the central nervous system. For example, tumors in the central nervous system, infections in the central nervous system, and other conditions-such as neurofibromatosis (Berg & Linton, 1997) and epilepsy (Hartlage & Hartlage, 1997)-all present an increased risk of negative impact on intellectual functioning. In this regard, researchers may need to include, as part of their methodology, a standardized measure of IQ or a developmental quotient for each research participant.…”

Research has suggested that children and adolescents having a chronic medical condition (CMC), particularly those with a neurologically based CMC, are at risk for developing secondary psychological and psychosocial dysfunction. Currently, there is a paucity of psychological intervention research that has focused on these children and adolescents. Purpose: The present article addresses the methodological and conceptual issues that are salient in the conduct of psychological intervention research with pediatric patients having neurologically based CMCs. The following issues are discussed in relation to psychological intervention research in this area: sample characteristics, therapist characteristics, size of sample, group versus single-participant experimental designs, comparison treatment and control groups, and selection of dependent measures. Conclusion: The issues addressed may assist researchers in the conduct of psychological intervention research, which in turn could lead to establishing evidence-based prescriptive treatments for various emotional and behavioral problems occurring secondarily to neurologically based CMCs in pediatric populations.
