Selected Works

Informant report of practical judgment ability in a clinical sample of older adults with subjective cognitive decline, mild cognitive impairment, and dementia

Despite the importance of capturing problems with judgment and decision-making during neuropsychological evaluations of older adults, there are a limited number of validated measures and no informant rating scales. We developed an informant measure that captures compromised judgment related to safety, medical, financial, and social-ethical issues. After item refinement and piloting in a memory disorders clinic, we utilized the Test of Practical Judgment-Informant (TOP-J-Informant) at two clinics in the Midwestern U.S., including 189 patient/informant dyads with various preclinical and clinical dementia conditions.

Development, item analysis, and initial reliability and validity of three forms of a multiple-choice mental health literacy assessment for college students (MHLA-c)

Despite increasing rates of mental health disorders among college students, there are a limited number of validated mental health literacy measures that can be quickly administered and scored in this population. We developed a 54-item multiple-choice measure, consisting of three forms with 18 items on each form. Our items focus on knowledge of more than 20 mental health disorders including their etiology, risk factors, diagnoses, symptoms, treatment, course, and outcome, as well as the application of this knowledge to real world situations. Data were collected on three independent samples of undergraduate students enrolled at an urban public university system in the northeast United States. The MHLA-c may be useful in measuring knowledge of mental health disorders and related topics among college students. Moreover, the availability of parallel forms will facilitate its use within educational or interventional studies that employ pre-post testing designs.

Mental health literacy in a diverse sample of undergraduate students: demographic, psychological,
and academic correlates

Investigating variables associated with mental health literacy in the college-age population takes us one step closer to providing intervention for this vulnerable group, where growing rates of psychological disorders are a serious public concern. This study adds to the existing literature by incorporating, within a single model, multi-faceted variables (demographic, psychological, and academic) that contribute to mental health literacy in demographically and ethnically diverse college students.

An approach to classifying subjective cognitive decline in
community-dwelling elders

Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) may be an early symptomatic manifestation of Alzheimer’s disease, though published research largely neglects how to classify SCD in community-based studies. After a median of 3 years, 198 participants developed aMCI. In models that included all the variables, self-perceived cognitive functioning was consistently associated with incident aMCI as were age, general cognition, and perceived control; apolipoprotein E (APOE)ε4 allele status was significant in one model. We set cut points that optimized the diagnostic accuracy of SCD at various time frames. Lastly, we provide an approach to SCD classification and discuss implications for cognitive aging studies.

Correlates of Exam Performance in an introductory statistics course: Basic math skills along with self-reported psychological/behavioral and demographic variables

This study investigated whether basic mathematics skills are associated with undergraduate
psychology statistics course performance while simultaneously considering self-reported
psychological/behavioral and demographic variables. Participants completed a Math
Assessment for College Students (MACS), which included questions ranging from calculating
percentages to graphical interpretation.
