Perceived Stress and ADHD Symptoms in Adults

Journal of Attention Disorders (2012)

Martha A. Combs Will H. Canu Joshua J. Broman‐Fulks Courtney A. Rocheleau David C. Nieman

Objective: Given that ADHD has been linked to dysfunction across development and in many life domains, it is likely that individuals experiencing these symptoms are at increased risk for experiencing stress. The current study examines the association between ADHD and other psychiatric symptoms and perceived stress in a community sample of adults. Method: Perceived stress data collected from 983 participants ( M age = 45.6 years) were analyzed primarily via hierarchical multiple regression using ADHD symptom clusters, demographic variables, and anxiety and depression scale variables as predictors. Results and Conclusion: ADHD symptoms positively associated with perceived stress. Inattention and sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT), as opposed to hyperactivity-impulsivity and newly proposed executive dysfunction symptoms, were the most consistent predictors. These findings reinforce that the experience of ADHD symptoms in adulthood is associated with stress and suggest that SCT could play an important role in assessing risk for negative adult outcomes.

Moderators of the relationship between exercise and mood changes: gender, exertion level, and workout duration

Psychology and Health (2004)

Courtney A. Rocheleau Gregory D. Webster Angela D. Bryan Jacquelyn Frazier

Although the role of exercise in improving mood is well established, less is known about moderators of this effect, particularly outside of the laboratory. The current study examined the effect of gender, type of exercise, level of exertion, and duration of workout on the exercise–mood relationship in a naturalistic setting. One hundred and thirty five participants (64 females) either engaged in weight training (n = 52) or cardiovascular (n = 83) exercise. Pre- and post-exercise assessments of mood were collected and changes in two types of mood, negative mood and exhaustion, were examined. Overall, participants reported improved mood after exercise in both domains. Workout duration and level of exertion significantly moderated the relationship of exercise to mood improvement (i.e., an increase in either corresponded to greater improved mood, ps<0.05). Overall, women showed more improved mood than men in the domain of exhaustion (p = 0.001).

Increasing Family Consent for Organ Donation: Findings and Challenges

Progress in Transplantation (2001)

Courtney A. Rocheleau

There is a growing disparity between the number of organs and tissues needed for transplantation and the number available for donation. As a result, thousands of people die every year while waiting for a transplant. Much of the shortage can be explained by the failure of families to consent to donation. This paper reviews the research that has been conducted to elucidate reasons why families deny consent. This research, together with theoretically motivated research in the areas of persuasion and behavior change, can be used to inform the design of educational and promotional campaigns and to guide policy decisions.

Exploring the Relationship of Hospital and Market Characteristics and Organ Donation in U.S. Hospitals

Journal of Healthcare Management (2007)

Susan D. Roggenkamp Alicia Aldridge Bonnie S. Guy Courtney A. Rocheleau

Unmet demand for organ transplantation is, in part, a result of low rates of organ donation. While the transplant community works diligently to improve rates of organ donation, patients on waiting lists for transplantation continue to die. This article reviews factors that are associated with rates of organ donation at U.S. hospitals. We analyzed two years of data on the numbers of actual and potential donors at U.S. hospitals to discern whether hospital or market attributes are directly related to a hospital's rate of securing organ donations. We found that certain hospital characteristics are related to higher donation rates. Further research and a deeper understanding of organizational and environmental influences on the complex nature of securing organ donations are needed to help alleviate transplantation waiting lists.

Condom Use Among High-Risk Adolescents: Testing the Influence of Alcohol Use on the Relationship of Cognitive Correlates of Behavior.

Health Psychology (2005)

Angela D. Bryan Courtney A. Rocheleau Reuben N. Robbins Kent E. Hutchinson

The goal of this study was the exploration of distal effects of alcohol use on condom use. Criminally involved adolescents completed an initial measure of attitudes, beliefs, and prior behavior. Of the 300 who completed the initial measurement, 267 (89%) completed a behavioral assessment 6 months later. Analyses validated a theoretical model of condom use intentions and indicated that intentions and attitudes measured at baseline were significant predictors of condom use behavior 6 months later. Neither alcohol use nor alcohol problems moderated relationships among model variables or the influence of intentions and attitudes on behavior. The findings do not support a distal role for alcohol use in altering the cognitive correlates of condom use intentions and behavior among high-risk adolescents.
