Umbrella Review: Atlas of the Meta-Analytical Evidence of Early-Onset Psychosis
Early-onset psychosis (EOP) refers to the development of psychosis before the age of 18 years. We aimed to summarize, for the first time, the meta-analytical evidence in the field of this vulnerable population and to provide evidence-based recommendations.

Emotional and Behavioral Problem Profiles of Preteens With Self-Injurious Thoughts and Behaviors: A Multicultural Study
Self-injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITB) among preteen children have risen to the attention of researchers, practitioners, and policymakers. To shed light on potential treatment/prevention targets, we sought to identify empirically-derived emotional and behavioral problem profiles of preteens with SITB, and determine whether these profiles differ by age, gender, and society.

Editorial: Progress and Challenges in Characterizing Psychiatric Symptoms and Behaviors in Suicidal Preadolescent Children
Historically, little clinical and research attention has been focused on suicide in preadolescent children because of the commonly held view that that at this age, children do not possess the cognitive capacity fully to comprehend death (e.g., its finality) and therefore are incapable of experiencing suicidal thoughts and behaviors.1 This view may result in expressions of suicidal thoughts by preadolescent children being interpreted and treated as momentary expressions of distress, but not of actual desire or intent to engage in suicidal behavior.

Factors Associated With Discharge Against Medical Advice in US Adolescents Hospitalized for Suicidal Ideation or Suicide Attempt
Little is known about factors associated with discharge against medical advice in adolescent acute care hospitalization for suicidal ideation (SI) and suicide attempt (SA). Our study seeks to determine if certain socioeconomic factors or hospital characteristics are associated with discharge against medical advice (DAMA) in this population.

Editorial: Chronicity of Maltreatment and the Importance of Attachment and Peer Relationships on Youth Mental Health Trajectory
Childhood maltreatment impacts human development across the lifespan in most areas of functioning; particularly the onset of mental health symptomatology. As our understanding of the biological underpinnings of the effects of maltreatment on childhood development continues to grow, it becomes even more salient to delineate and understand potential variance associated with timing and chronicity of maltreatment. Moreover, as family and peer relationships are known to mediate effects of stress on childhood mental health outcomes,1,2 it is important to acknowledge and specifically explore the potential effects of the relationa...

Editorial: Factors Associated With Discharge Against Medical Advice in US Adolescents Hospitalized for Suicidal Ideation or Suicide Attempt
Rates of death by suicide, suicidal gestures, suicide attempts, and non-suicidal self-injury among adolescents have increased over the past decade.1 Despite these sobering trends, the availability of appropriate clinical services has not kept pace with the growing need. A shortage of inpatient psychiatric beds for children and adolescents is among the shortcomings of today ’s American mental health system of care.

A National Institutes of Health Approach for Advancing Research to Improve Youth Mental Health and Reduce Disparities
Approximately 50% of youth in the United States experience mental health problems in their lifetime,1 a clear indicator of a national public health crisis. At the same time, for racially and ethnically minoritized youth, mental health outcomes and access to quality care have continued to remain at or below their counterparts, suggesting increasing youth mental health disparities (YMHD).2 Disparities, defined as differences in health outcomes that adversely affect disadvantaged populations,3 have persisted in the last two decades.

Cross-Sectional and Longitudinal Relations Among Irritability, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Symptoms, and Inhibitory Control
Irritability and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms frequently co-occur in youth. While ADHD has been associated with inhibitory control deficits, the literature on irritability and inhibitory control is mixed. Examining how irritability, ADHD symptoms, and inhibitory control interrelate both cross-sectionally and longitudinally across development could shed light on common and distinct mechanisms of youth psychopathology.

Kaleidoscopes
As a little girl, I remember the magic of looking through a kaleidoscope. Brilliant, vibrant colors coming together to make symmetrical shapes that seemed as precise as they were chaotic. Each look through the lens offered something new and spectacular, different than the intricate images seen before. With a little shake and turning of a tube, and the sound of colored beads, pebbles or small pieces of glass swirling together, mirrors connect with the light in just a way to produce the beauty that we see.

Editorial: Neuropsychological Correlates of Irritability Accompanying Symptoms of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: Clues and Pitfalls
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders and is characterized by developmentally inappropriate, pervasive, and impairing symptoms of inattention and/or hyperactivity/ impulsivity.1 Although not listed among the core symptoms, irritability, reduced tolerance to frustration, and labile mood are considered features associated with it.1,2 Irritability refers to a tendency to get angry quickly and/or easily at a lower threshold of frustration and respond disproportionately to triggers.

Editorial: In Utero Exposure to Maternal Affective Symptoms: Prenatal Programming of Child Psychopathology is Independent of Shared Genes of Risk
The womb is an influential first home. This felicitous phrase is attributed to David Barker, often called the father of the late 20th century Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) hypothesis, which asserts that maternal experiences during pregnancy are biologically transmitted to, and embedded in, the fetus, shaping child development. 1 Specifically, Barker focused on maternal inadequate nutrition as a key in utero exposure to which the fetus biologically adapts, leading to biologically programmed changes, meaning long-lasting, that potentially put the offspring at risk for future metabolic diseases.

Interpersonal Mechanisms Between Child Maltreatment Timing and Young Adult Internalizing and Externalizing Symptomology
This study investigated timing and chronicity of maltreatment and its impacts on psychopathology outcomes in young adulthood. We examined two interpersonal mediators: problems with peers and childhood attachment security. (Source: Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry)

Editors ’ Best of 2023
There is, in the content of the Journal, an embarrassment of riches, and picking a “best” seems to demand a certain qualification: is the “best” the most interesting, most surprising, most educational, most important, most provocative, most enjoyable? How to choose? We are hardly unbiased and can admit to a special affection for the ones that we and the authors worked hard est on, modifying version after version into shape. Acknowledging these biases, here are the 2023 articles that we think deserve your attention or at least a second read. (Source: Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry)
