Age of Realization and Disclosure of Gender Identity Among Transgender Adults
This study ev aluated components of ROGD by (1) estimating the prevalence among TGD adults of first realizing one's TGD identity after childhood (i.e., after the onset of puberty), and (2) assessing the median time between realizing one's gender identity and disclosing this to someone else.

The Protective Role of Family Mealtime in Anorexia Nervosa
We read the article by Razenhofer et al. [1] concerning the onset and duration of disordered eating prior to diagnosis in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) and its concordance with parental reports with great interest. An important result of the study was that dieting reported by the patient was present for about a year and a half before diagnosis. When we compare this result to a recent study from our clinic, we found that from the onset of dieting to diagnosis, the duration was much shorter at 5.4 ± 4.8 (min-max:1–24) months in 38 patients diagnosed with AN (unpublished data).

Response to Letter to Editor Regarding ‘Early Course of Symptom Development in Anorexia Nervosa' by Ranzenhofer et al. (2022)
My coauthors and I thank Dr. Akgul et al. for their comments regarding our recent study reporting on the timing of specific eating behaviors and eating disorder symptoms preceding diagnosis of anorexia nervosa. One of the key findings of our study was that “dieting” (defined as “deliberately changing eating patterns in any way t o influence shape or weight”) was often the first behavior to emerge (relative to other behaviors such as purging and excessive exercise) and adolescents reported that this behavior began around a year and a half before diagnosis.

Sport Safety for Adolescents: Linking Biomechanics of Repetitive Head Impacts With Health and Wellbeing
Sport-related concussions are a major public health concern in adolescent athletes, with the potential to affect academics, behavior, cognition, vision and vestibular function, mental health, and overall quality of life [1]. The recent literature is replete with examples of studies directed toward objectively quantifying the brain dysfunction experienced by concussed young athletes to help with diagnosis and treatment plans. In parallel, concern about the potential for negative effects from repetitive head impacts —impacts that do not result in concussion symptoms—has intensified. (Source: Journal of Adolescent Health)

Quality Improvement Project to Increase Human Papillomavirus Two-Dose Vaccine Series Completion by 13 Years in Pediatric Primary Care Clinics
The human papillomavirus (HPV) causes genitourinary and oropharyngeal cancers. The HPV vaccine is safe and effective in preventing those diseases; however, vaccine series completion rates remain low in the United States. Our quality improvement (QI) project aimed to increase HPV-vaccination series completion rates to 70% from 2017 to 2020 for the 13-year patient population in an extensive academic pediatric primary care network that serves predominantly minority and Medicaid-insured children in Columbus, OH.

Bullying Victimization and Suicidal Behavior among adolescents in 28 Countries and Territories: A Moderated Mediation Model
We examined the association between bullying and suicidal behavior among in-school adolescents. We further tested whether loneliness mediated the link between bullying and suicidal behavior and explored the moderated role of parental involvement in this association.

A Latent Transition Model of the Effects of a Youth-Led Sexual Violence Prevention Initiative on Victimization and Perpetration Trajectories Over Time
Latent transition analysis was used to characterize transitions over time in profiles of victimization and perpetration of sexual and related forms of violence (i.e., bullying, dating violence, sexual harassment) over a 2.5-year period among middle and high school students. We also examined how profiles of violence varied as a function of participation in a youth-led sexual violence prevention initiative (Youth Voices in Prevention [Youth VIP]).

Getting a Good Night's Sleep: Associations Between Sleep Duration and Parent-Reported Sleep Quality on Default Mode Network Connectivity in Youth
Sleep plays an important role in healthy neurocognitive development, and poor sleep is linked to cognitive and emotional dysfunction. Studies in adults suggest that shorter sleep duration and poor sleep quality may disrupt core neurocognitive networks, particularly the default mode network (DMN) —a network implicated in internal cognitive processing and rumination. Here, we examine the relationships between sleep and within- and between-network resting-state functional connectivity (rs-FC) of the DMN in youth. (Source: Journal of Adolescent Health)
