Abstract
Perceived stigma (PS) adversely impacts psychosocial and disease outcomes in patients with chronic liver diseases (CLD), and those with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) may be at risk for PS given inaccurate assumptions about the origin of their diagnosis. The aims of the current study are to describe the frequency of PS in patients with AIH, compare rates of PS in AIH to rates of PS in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and CLD, and examine demographic correlates of PS. 262 adults with AIH (95% female, Mage = 51.53 years) completed online questionnaires on demographics, disease information, and PS. 54-68% reported PS with themes of selective disclosure, non-disclosure, or hiding diagnosis. PS was higher in those with AIH compared to those with PBC, but lower than those with various CLD. Age was inversely related to PS. Given the results, provider screening of PS and integration of clinical health psychologists may be helpful for identifying PS in patients with AIH.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The COVID-19 vaccine has become available to children ages 5-12, yet vaccine uptake is suboptimal. Political ideology is a correlate of COVID-related beliefs and vaccine likelihood among US adults. However, since political ideology is not easily modifiable, attention to modifiable mechanisms that may explain links between political ideology and vaccine hesitancy is important in addressing this public health crisis. Caregiver attitudes around vaccine safety and efficacy have been related to vaccine uptake in other populations and warrant additional study in the context of COVID-19. The current study examined whether caregiver's attitudes regarding the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine mediated the relationship between caregiver political ideology and likelihood of having their child vaccinated. METHODS 144 US caregivers of children (6-12 years) completed an online survey in summer 2021 to assess political ideology, vaccine-related beliefs, and likelihood of having their child vaccinated against COVID-19. RESULTS Caregivers with more liberal political views reported higher likelihood of eventual child vaccination compared to caregivers who reported a more conservative views (t(81) = 6.08, BCa CI [2.97, 5.67]). Moreover, parallel mediation models indicated caregiver?s perceptions of risks (BCa CI [-.98, -.10]) and efficacy (BCa CI [-3.16, -2.15]) of the vaccine each mediated the aforementioned relationship, with perceived efficacy explaining significantly more variance than risks. CONCLUSIONS Findings extend knowledge by identifying social cognitive factors that impact caregiver vaccine hesitancy. Interventions to address caregiver's hesitancy to have their child vaccinated through modifying caregiver's inaccurate beliefs regarding vaccines or enhancing perceptions of vaccine efficacy is warranted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Abdominal pain can be a debilitating symptom for youth with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). Across various pediatric conditions, pain predicts adverse physical and mental health outcomes. Understanding mechanisms by which pain impacts outcomes is of critical importance to enhance the well-being of those with IBDs. Pain catastrophizing mediates the aforementioned relationships in other pediatric populations, but little research has examined its role in pediatric IBDs. Attention to the role of pain catastrophizing as a potential mediator in pediatric IBD is the important given unique elements of the pain experience for this population. This study aimed to examine pain catastrophizing as a potential mediator of the relationship between abdominal pain and adverse outcomes in youth with IBDs. METHODS Seventy six youth (ages 11 to 18; M [SD] age=14.71 [1.80]) with IBD completed the Abdominal Pain Index (T1), Pain Catastrophizing Scale (T2, week 12), Revised Children's Anxiety and Depression Scale (T3, week 20), and Functional Disability Inventory (T3, week 20). RESULTS Catastrophizing mediated the relationship between abdominal pain and both anxiety symptoms ( b =1.61, Bias-Corrected Accelerated [BCa] CI, 0.25, 4.62) and functional disability ( b =0.77, BCa CI, 0.15, 2.38). A direct effect of abdominal pain on low mood was also noted ( b =1.17, BCa CI, 0.03, 2.50). Post hoc analyses examining mediation via catastrophizing subscales indicated that while magnification and rumination functioned as mediators, helplessness did not. DISCUSSION Findings are consistent with fear avoidance models and suggest that interventions directed at pain catastrophizing may be worthwhile in pediatric IBD populations, given catastrophizing-mediated relationships between pain and mental and physical health outcomes.

Abstract
ObjectiveTo examine the relationship between perceived effect of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) on high school academics and college planning on college adjustment. Participants: Participants (N = 97) were college students with IBD. Methods: Participants completed an online survey including the Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire and study-developed questions assessing the perceived impact of their diagnosis on their high school academics and college planning. Results: Most participants reported average college adjustment across domains, except personal-emotional adjustment with 47% of participants falling within the very low to low ranges. Nearly half reported IBD impacted their choice of college (49%). The impact of IBD on college planning was most consistently associated with domains of college adjustment. Conclusions: IBD severely impacts college planning, decision-making, and adjustment in college-bound youth. Perceiving that having a chronic illness impacts college planning may result in greater difficulty with academic adjustment, attachment to the institution, and social adjustment during college.

Abstract
Objectives Cross-sectionally, more adherence barriers are associated with lower medication adherence. However, little is known about longitudinal associations between adherence barriers and adherence. Among adolescents with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), this study examined both (1) how time-varying self-reported adherence barriers affect daily thiopurine adherence and (2) how adherence barriers at baseline affect daily thiopurine adherence over a six-month period. Methods Eighty-one adolescents 11-18 years old prescribed a once-daily oral IBD maintenance medication participated in a six-month observational study. Adherence barriers were self-reported monthly via the Medication Adherence Measure (MAM): Medication Subscale. Daily adherence estimates were collected via Medication Event Monitoring System (MEMS) Track Caps. Results Generalized linear mixed modeling indicated that time alone did not significantly predict whether one was more likely to be adherent (p = .602). However, increasing adherence barriers lowered the likelihood that a participant would be adherent on a given day, and the interaction between time and barriers predicted likelihood of adherence on a given day (p < .01). Specifically, when participants reported no adherence barriers at baseline, adherence did not significantly change over time (p = .369). However, when barriers were endorsed, adherence decreased over time (p < .01). Conclusions Fewer adherence barriers over time predicted greater likelihood of adherence on a given day, which is consistent with previous cross-sectional research. Routine assessment of barriers to adherence over the course of adolescence is critical in addressing suboptimal adherence behavior in youth with IBD.

Abstract
PURPOSE Females with chronic health conditions (CHCs) engage in risky sexual behavior at least as frequently as their healthy counterparts. Among healthy youth, mother-daughter communication about sexual behavior and reproductive health protects against risky sexual behavior. Yet, little is known about the nature of this type of communication in female adolescents with CHCs or factors that contribute to communication. This study described mother-daughter communication frequency, timing, and comfort and examined the role of demographic/disease factors and maternal outcome expectancy (OE), in contributing variance to mother-daughter communication about risky sexual behavior and reproductive health. DESIGN AND METHODS One hundred mother-daughter dyads from outpatient clinics located within a hospital participated. Daughters [ages 14-19; M(SD) age = 16.28 (1.53)] provided demographic information and mothers self-reported frequency, timing, comfort, and OE of mother-daughter communication about sexual behavior and reproductive health. RESULTS Reproductive health topics were discussed with the greatest frequency. Condom and birth control use were discussed less often. Overall, maternal comfort levels were high across topics. Maternal positive OE was associated with all communication domains, accounting for between 11 and 21% of the variance beyond relevant demographic factors. CONCLUSIONS Fostering positive maternal OE may enhance multiple domains of mother-daughter communication about sexual behavior and reproductive health in samples of female adolescents with various CHCs. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS Since mothers with positive OE talk about sexual behavior earlier, more frequently, and with greater comfort; nurses are in a unique position to empower mother-daughter communication about sexual behavior and reproductive health and enhance mother OE during clinical encounters.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Symptoms of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) can interfere with optimal psychosocial functioning of adolescents, including school functioning. School functioning can be broadly conceptualized as involving attendance, academic performance, and participation in academic and extracurricular activities. However, previous research has largely examined the impact of IBD on school attendance. The present study aimed to describe school attendance, performance, and participation in a sample of adolescents with IBD and to examine demographic and disease-related correlates of poorer school functioning. METHODS One-hundred sixty-one adolescent-parent dyads (M [SD] adolescent age = 14.5 [1.9] years, 43% female) completed questionnaires assessing demographics, school attendance, performance, and participation. Clinical disease activity was rated by physicians at the time of study enrollment. RESULTS Difficulties with school attendance were reported, with nearly three-quarters of participants reporting school absences due to visits with doctors or hospitalizations and just under half of the sample reporting general school absences and missing school due to not feeling well. In bivariate analyses, older age was associated with poorer school performance and participation, whereas greater disease activity was associated with poorer school attendance. In regression analyses, greater disease activity and older age emerged as the most salient predictors of poorer school attendance. Older age also emerged as the most salient predictor of school performance and participation. CONCLUSIONS Demographic factors and age in particular were more consistent predictors of school functioning than disease factors. Special attention to older youth and those with active disease may be important to ensure optimal school functioning.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) often begins early in life. Adolescents and young adults (AYA) with IBD have to acquire behaviors that support self-care, effective healthcare decision-making, and self-advocacy to successfully transition from pediatric to adult health care. Despite the importance of this critical time period, limited empirical study of factors associated with transition readiness in AYA exists. This study aimed to describe transition readiness in a sample of AYA with IBD and identify associated modifiable and nonmodifiable factors. METHODS Seventy-five AYA (ages 16-20) and their parents participated. AYA and parents reported on demographics, patient-provider transition-related communication, and transition readiness. AYA self-reported on disease self-efficacy. Disease information was abstracted from the medical record. RESULTS Deficits in AYA responsibility were found in knowledge of insurance coverage, scheduling appointments, and ordering medication refills. Older AYA age, higher AYA disease-management self-efficacy, and increased patient-provider transition communication were each associated with higher overall transition readiness and AYA responsibility scores. Regression analyses revealed that older AYA age and increased patient-provider transition-related communication were the most salient predictors of AYA responsibility for disease management and overall transition readiness across parent and AYA reports. CONCLUSIONS AYA with IBD show deficits in responsibility for their disease management that have the potential to affect their self-management skills. Findings suggest provider communication is particularly important in promoting transition readiness. Additionally, it may be beneficial to wait to transition patients until they are older to allow them more time to master skills necessary to responsibly manage their own healthcare.

Abstract
Low adherence is a pervasive issue among youth with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), yet our understanding of perceived adherence barriers is hampered by a lack of validated instruments. This study sought to address this by evaluating the reliability and predictive validity of the Beliefs About Medication Scale (BAMS) among youth with IBD. Seventy-six youth (ages 11-18) with IBD who were prescribed a daily oral IBD medication completed baseline ratings of perceived adherence barriers via the BAMS. Parents provided information about patient demographic and disease factors. Subjective medication adherence was assessed via the medication adherence measure. Objective medication adherence was assessed via Medication Event Monitoring System (MEMS) Track Caps. BAMS subscales demonstrated adequate internal consistency ( αs = .78-.90) and test-retest reliability ( rs = .64-.79). BAMS subscales reliably distinguished between adherent and low adherent groups, though intent to adhere (IA) was the only independent predictor of adherence status. The BAMS holds promise as a tool for assessing adherence barriers among adolescents with IBD. IA may be of particular value in identifying adolescents at risk for low adherence.

Abstract
Self-management, including medication adherence, is associated with improved health and outcomes for patients with inflammatory bowel disease. The concept of self-management is complex, but can be divided into those aspects that involve the individual patient, those that involve the provider–patient relationship, and those that encompass the social environment. At the individual level, enhancing problem-solving skills and self-efficacy have both been shown to improve self-management tasks, particularly adherence to treatment. However, it is critical to consider these domains from a lifespan perspective because these processes by which self-management can be improved are distinct for children, adolescents, young adults, and adults. A particular emphasis is placed on strategies to improve self-management of older adolescents and young adults as they transition from pediatric to adult providers. The review concludes with recommendations for providers, including rationale and techniques for assessing and promoting patient self-efficacy, encouraging the development of problem-solving skills, improving the patient–provider relationship, and enhancing social support. Providers are encouraged to utilize elements of problem-solving skills training, engage in collaborative relationships with their patients, and offer their patients recommendations for how to increase the quality of their social support networks as ways of increasing overall self-management.

Abstract
To examine whether perceived peer/parent norms or personal beliefs about adolescent substance use influence substance use among female adolescents with chronic medical conditions. Sixty-eight females reported on substance use, personal beliefs, and perceived peer/parent norms. Personal beliefs and perceived peer/parent norms were associated with adolescent's current and future substance use. Although perceived peer norms accounted for variance in current substance use, only personal beliefs accounted for variance in future alcohol use. Targeting perceived peer norms may be effective for intervention efforts among adolescents endorsing current substance use, whereas alcohol use prevention efforts should target personal beliefs.

Abstract
The measurement properties of the newly developed Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) 3.0 Transplant Module in pediatric solid organ transplant recipients were evaluated. Participants included pediatric recipients of liver, kidney, heart and small bowel transplantation who were cared for at seven medical centers across the United States and their parents. Three hundred and thirty-eight parents of children ages 2-18 and 274 children ages 5-18 completed both the PedsQL 4.0 Generic Core Scales and the Transplant Module. Findings suggest that child self-report and parent proxy-report scales on the Transplant Module demonstrated excellent reliability (total scale score for child self-report alpha= 0.93; total scale score for parent proxy-report alpha= 0.94). Transplant-specific symptoms or problems were significantly correlated with lower generic HRQOL, supporting construct validity. Children with solid organ transplants and their parents reported statistically significant lower generic HRQOL than healthy children. Parent and child reports showed moderate to good agreement across the scales. In conclusion, the PedsQL Transplant Module demonstrated excellent initial feasibility, reliability and construct validity in pediatric patients with solid organ transplants.
