Blood pressure and cardiovascular outcomes: a closer look

isorders: A Closer Look at Effects on Mental Health Outcomes

In December 2015, at the request of the Washington State Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery (DBHR), the University of Washington Alcohol & Drug Abuse Institute (ADAI) put forth an inventory of evidence-based programs and practices (EBPs) for treating substance use in adolescents and (12-17 years old) and young adults (18-20 years old). The analysis focused exclusively on substance use-r...

A Closer Look at Who “Chokes Under Pressure”

Previous research has shown that the higher one’s working memory capacity, the more likely his/her performance is to be negatively impacted by performance pressure. In the current research we examined potential explanations for this finding by assessing the relation between pressure-induced performance deficits (i.e. “choking under pressure”) in math-based problem solving and individual differe...

Is "usual" blood pressure a proxy for 24-h ambulatory blood pressure in predicting cardiovascular outcomes?

BACKGROUND The 24-h ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) is a stronger predictor of cardiovascular disease than conventional blood pressure (CBP), but it remains unclear how it compares with "usual" blood pressure (UBP), estimated after CBP has been corrected for regression dilution bias (RDB). METHODS We compared the associations of cardiovascular mortality (n = 50), cardiovascular events (n = 10...
