Negative life events and stress sensitivity in youth ’s daily life: an ecological momentary assessment study

ConclusionStress sensitivity may constitute a putative risk mechanism linking LEs and mental health in help-seeking youth, while unfavourable effects of LEs on stress sensitivity may attenuate over time or do not occur in controls and siblings. Targeting individuals ’ sensitivity to stress in daily life using novel digital interventions may be a promising approach towards improving youth mental health.
