The mental health and well-being of adolescents with/without intellectual disability in the UK
CONCLUSIONS: Further research is needed to understand: (1) why the magnitude of mental health inequalities between those with and without intellectual disability on the SDQ may be dependent on the identity of the informant; and (2) whether such differences are also apparent for other measures of mental health or well-being.PMID:38031716 | PMC:PMC10689094 | DOI:10.1017/S204579602300080X (Source: Epidemiology and Psychiatric Sciences)

Discrimination reported by people with schizophrenia: cross-national variations in relation to the Human Development Index
CONCLUSIONS: HDI does, to some extent, appear to be associated with how far discrimination is experienced across different contexts. More high-quality cross-national research, including research focused on "medium" and "low" countries, is needed to substantiate these findings and identify underlying factors that may explain the pattern observed for experienced discrimination, including generating new datasets that would enable for these analyses to be repeated and contrasted with more recent data. An in-depth understanding of these factors will further aid the adaptation of cross-cultural and context specific anti-stigma i...

United we thrive: friendship and subsequent physical, behavioural and psychosocial health in older adults (an outcome-wide longitudinal approach)
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings indicate that stronger friendships can have a dual impact on health and well-being. While stronger friendships appear to mainly promote a range of health and well-being outcomes, stronger friendships might also promote negative outcomes. Additional research is needed, and any future friendship interventions and policies that aim to enhance outcomes should focus on how to amplify positive outcomes while mitigating harmful ones.PMID:37964589 | DOI:10.1017/S204579602300077X (Source: Epidemiology and Psychiatric Sciences)
