Independent Prediction of Child Psychiatric Symptoms by Maternal Mental Health and Child Polygenic Risk Scores
Prenatal maternal symptoms of depression and anxiety associate with an increased risk for child socioemotional and behavioral difficulties, supporting the fetal origins of mental health hypothesis. However, to date, studies have not considered specific genomic risk as a possible confound. (Source: Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry)

Editorial: Can Physical Health Conditions in Childhood Predict Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Symptoms in Late Adolescence?
In this issue of the Journal, Reed et al.1 present compelling data on the cumulative effect that certain non-psychiatric health conditions, grouped by clusters according to physiologic mechanisms, could have on symptoms of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in late adolescence. The study leverages data collected through the Millennium Cohort Study (MCS). The MCS is valuable to characterize longitudinal associations as it follows the development of a well-characterized population-representative sample of over 19000 individuals born in the United Kingdom (UK) between 2000 and 2002.

Seeking Meaning in the Void
One of the most important jobs in elementary school can be distilled down to two words: line leader. This is the mighty carrot to mobilize ordinarily sluggish children through their morning routine, as they look forward to standing proudly at the front of their classroom line. I have witnessed this phenomenon myself, as my first-grade son was chosen to be the glorious line leader of room 15. He moved with a sense of urgency in the morning to pack his backpack, fill his water bottle, and put on his shoes and socks, all with zero parental prompting.

Editorial: Marijuana Legalization and Suicide in Adolescents and Transitional-Age Youth: Important Future Directions for This Line of Research
Medical and recreational marijuana legalization (ML) processes in the United States have been prompted by the potential for positive downstream legal effects of decriminalization, including fewer cannabis-related arrests and prosecutions, which have historically disproportionately impacted minoritized communities. However, ML evolved through primarily political processes, with minimal scientific guidance to inform policies. Unfortunately, commercialization has increased youth cannabis access, diversion of parental cannabis, and proliferation of high-potency products which, along with early use, are associated with poor men...

Editorial: Cash Transfers to Families Living in Poverty: Can Benefits for Children Extend to the Next Generation?
Childhood poverty is the most widespread and important modifiable risk factor for the development of a range of health outcomes, including childhood-onset mental health problems.1 Thirty million children are growing up impoverished in the US, which ranks among the highest per capita rates of child poverty among high-income countries.2 As a nation, the US does less to support its poor children and their families than any other wealthy country, despite scientific evidence that growing up in poverty significantly increases lifetime risk of physical and mental health problems, reduces likelihood of academic and vocational succ...
