  • Title: Psychosocial correlates of chronic fatigue syndrome in adolescent girls.
    Author: Pelcovitz D, Septimus A, Friedman SB, Krilov LR, Mandel F, Kaplan S.
    Journal: J Dev Behav Pediatr; 1995 Oct; 16(5):333-8. PubMed ID: 8557833.
    Abstract:
    Behavior problems and family functioning were investigated in a sample of 10 adolescent girls with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), 10 matched healthy adolescent girls, and 10 adolescents with childhood cancer in remission. Based on the adolescent girls' reports, the CFS group had significantly higher scores than the cancer and healthy comparison adolescent girls on somatic complaints and also significantly higher scores than the cancer controls on internalizing symptoms and depression. Parent reports resulted in significantly higher scores in the CFS group than the adolescent girls from the healthy comparison groups on internalizing scores and somatic complaints. There were no significant differences on any family variables.
