ADHD Symptoms and Sleep Problems During Middle Childhood: The Indirect Effect of Peer Victimization
Child Psychiatry Hum Dev. 2024 Feb 20. doi: 10.1007/s10578-024-01666-6. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe present cross-sectional study evaluated whether traditional and/or cyber peer victimization served as mechanisms linking ADHD symptoms to sleep disturbance and sleep impairment in a sample of 284 third- through fifth-grade students (51.9% boys; 50.4% Hispanic/Latine) from two elementary schools in the United States. ADHD symptoms were assessed using teacher ratings. Children provided reports of their traditional and cyber victimization as well as their sleep disturbance and impairment. Results from path analysis models...

Integration of Measurement-Based Care for Youth Depression and Suicidality Using VitalSign < sup > 6 < /sup >
Child Psychiatry Hum Dev. 2024 Feb 19. doi: 10.1007/s10578-024-01680-8. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDepression and suicidality are prevalent in youth and are associated with a range of negative outcomes. The current study aimed to evaluate a measurement-based care (MBC) software (VitalSign6) tool to improve the screening and treatment of depression and suicidality in youth aged 8-17 years within a rural, underserved population. To assess for depression and suicidality, the Patient Health Questionnaire-2 was administered as an initial screen, and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 Modified for Adolescents (PHQ-9-A) was ad...

Parent-Youth Attachment Insecurity and Informant Discrepancies of Intrafamilial Aggression
This study investigated how youth attachment anxiety and avoidance are associated with informant discrepancies of intrafamilial aggression within families where youth have clinically significant mental health challenges (N = 510 youth-parent dyads). Using polynomial regressions, we tested whether youth attachment avoidance and anxiety moderated the absolute magnitude of the association between youth- and parent-reports of aggression toward each other. Furthermore, difference scores were computed to test whether youth attachment was associated with the direction of youths' reports of the frequency of aggression relative to ...

Obsessive-Compulsive Symptoms: Baseline Prevalence, Comorbidity, and Implications in a Clinically Anxious Pediatric Sample
Child Psychiatry Hum Dev. 2024 Feb 14. doi: 10.1007/s10578-023-01658-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSubclinical symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (i.e., obsessive compulsive symptoms, or "OCS") cause functional impairment, including for youth without full-syndrome OCD. Further, despite high rates of OCS in youth with anxiety disorders, knowledge of OCS in the context of specific anxiety disorders is limited. The present study seeks to: (1) compare OCS in pediatric patients with anxiety disorders and healthy youth, (2) determine which categorical anxiety disorder(s) associate most with OCS, and (3) determine relat...

Temporal Orientation and the Association Between Adverse Life Events and Internalizing Symptoms in Vietnamese American and European American Adolescents
Child Psychiatry Hum Dev. 2024 Feb 13. doi: 10.1007/s10578-023-01661-3. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAdverse life events are associated with greater internalizing symptoms. However, prior research has identified cross-cultural variation in whether and to what extent factors amplify or buffer the impact of these stressors. Broadly defined as the tendency to focus on past, present, or future events, temporal orientation is a dispositional factor that is culturally influenced and may explain variance in internalizing symptoms following adverse events. Cultural congruence, or the degree to which a factor is considered normati...

How Observed Personality Traits in (Mildly) Depressed Adolescents Relate to Nonverbal Responses of Peers
This study examines whether personality traits, as observed in behavior, mediate or moderate responses of peers towards (mildly) depressed adolescents. Nonverbal responses of peers were observed during two short semi-structured interactions, one with a (mildly) depressed partner and one with a nondepressed partner, matched for age and gender. Personality traits of partners were observed. Results show that peers responded more negatively towards (mildly) depressed partners. Personality traits moderated the link between depression and peer responses. In general, but particularly for (mildly) depressed girls, neuroticism stre...

Profiles of Loneliness and Ostracism During Adolescence: Consequences, Antecedents, and Protective Factors
Child Psychiatry Hum Dev. 2024 Feb 9. doi: 10.1007/s10578-024-01664-8. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis longitudinal study (N = 1078, 46% boys; 54% girls) examined profiles of loneliness and ostracism during adolescence and their consequences and antecedents. Longitudinal latent profiles analyses identified four distinct profiles: (1) High emotional loneliness (25%), High and increasing social loneliness (15%), High peer exclusion and high social impact (9%) and No peer problems (51%). Subsequent internalizing problems were typical for the High and increasing social loneliness profile and externalizing problems for the H...

Family Environment and Community Context for Longitudinal Cigarette Smoking Trajectories Among Chinese Young People
This study examines socioeconomic and community disparities in smoking among young Chinese people from 2010 to 2016. Data were from 953 people aged 16 to 25 in four waves of the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS). Two-level logistic regressions were fitted to account for both inter-individual and intra-individual differences over time. Weight-adjusted multilevel regression results showed a decrease in cigarette smoking among rural young people (OR = 0.71, 95% CI = [0.52, 0.98]) from 2010 to 2016. Higher family income was related to higher odds of cigarette smoking among young people (OR = 1.75, 95% CI = [1.10, 2.80]). Cigar...

Characterizing Measurement-Based Care in the Texas Youth Depression and Suicide Research Network (TX-YDSRN)
Child Psychiatry Hum Dev. 2024 Feb 10. doi: 10.1007/s10578-023-01653-3. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIntegration of measurement-based care (MBC) into clinical practice has shown promise in improving treatment outcomes for depression. Yet, without a gold standard measure of MBC, assessing fidelity to the MBC model across various clinical settings is difficult. A central goal of the Texas Youth Depression and Suicide Research Network (TX-YDSRN) was to characterize MBC across the state of Texas through the development of a standardized tool to assess the use of MBC strategies when assessing depression, anxiety, side effects,...

Associations Between Distinct Trauma Classes and Mental Health Care Utilization in Norwegian Adolescents: A National Registry Study
This study investigated underlying classes of PTE exposure among Norwegian adolescent participants in the youth@hordaland study, and whether such classes were associated with contact with child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) and psychiatric diagnoses. The data stem from the population-based youth@hordaland study conducted in 2012 which was linked to the Norwegian Patient Registry (NPR, n = 8845). Exposure to PTEs was assessed by adolescent self-report whereas psychiatric disorders (Axis 1) were derived from the NPR. Latent Class Analysis was used to identify distinct classes of PTE exposure-patterns in the d...
