Assessing The Need For Dual Diagnosis Training For Mental Health Workers Serving Youth In Michigan, Kathleen "Lucy" Mcgoron
Senior Honors Theses and Projects
Dual diagnosis is the co-occurrence of substance use and another psychiatric disorder.

Results indicate that a quarter of youths being seen for treatment need substance use services, however …

The Factor Structure Of The Depressive Personality Disorder Inventory, Jude Chamberlain
Senior Honors Theses and Projects
The Depressive Personality Disorder Inventory (DPDI) was created by Dr. Steven Huprich to assess depressive personality in clinical and nonclinical samples. A statistical method called varimax factor analysis was used to compare DPDI scores of 851 individuals with scores on the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II). Resulting data showed the two measures were highly intercorrelated. Subsequent revisions were made to the DPDI to increase its utility as an assessment tool while also maintaining internal consistency.

How Children's Programs At Churches Promote Resilience And How They Can Be Enhanced, Dawn Blanton
Senior Honors Theses and Projects

In addition, every church provided for the material needs of the children in their church and community. Thus, churches are important community resources for at-risk children that can help promote resiliency. Recommendations are made for improvement of the programs. More generally, a model …
