Editors ’ Note: Third Annual Report Regarding JAACAP’s Antiracist Journey
In 2020, we wrote to you of our dedication and vision for JAACAP “to be antiracist at every level.”1 Over the last 3 years, we have pursued initiatives “to reshape the Journal to pursue this vision.”2,3 In this article, we provide an update on these goals and initiatives (Figure 1). With the launching of our new open access journal, JAACAP Open,4 in late 2022, we now extend these initiatives to both scientific journals in the JAACAP family and aspire to be a leader among mental health journals in our intentional pursuit of antiracist policies and practices.

Study Registration: Encouraging the Practice of Hypothetical-Deductive Research in the Journal Revisited
Five years ago, we wrote to you regarding our launching a new initiative for JAACAP: study registration.1 As we noted then, “study registration divides the peer review process into two stages. The first stage, preregistration, occurs at the time that the study is being planned, whereas the second occurs after the study is completed.” To preregister their study, authors submit a manuscript consisting of the introducti on and method sections for their study, along with a study synopsis, for peer review. If the study preregistration is approved after this initial peer review, the Journal will issue an in-principle accepta...

Reimagining Narrative Approaches Through Comics for Systems-Involved Youth
Broadly speaking, the term “narrative” is defined as any account of connected events and experiences. Narrative is used in several therapeutic interventions within behavioral health. Narrative approaches can be an affirming process for the patient and can increase a therapist’s understanding of their patients’ perspec tives.1 Unfortunately, there is a lack of medical education and training on narrative approaches, and these remain underutilized in clinical settings. Comics are an accessible medium of expression that can empower the voices of underrepresented individuals and communities. (Source: Journal of the Amer...

Attachments: When Moral Injury and Compassion Fatigue Strike: Apologize to Patients, Forgive Ourselves

Editorial: The Challenge of Psychopharmacological Treatment of Anxiety Among Youth Offspring of Parents With Bipolar Disorder
Mood disorders, including bipolar disorder (BD) and major depressive disorder (MDD), are leading causes of disability worldwide. MDD is the leading cause of disability beginning at age 10 years and thereafter, and BD is the fourth leading cause of disability in adolescents.1 Although one might expect that at a young age, and with a short duration of illness, mood disorders in youth are less complex than in adults, this is far from the reality. Even in epidemiologic, representative samples that do not have the same sample selection biases as clinical studies, mood disorders in youth are characterized by high rates of psychi...

Editorial: Justice-Involved Youth: A National State of Emergency in Children ’s Mental Health
In 2020, an estimated 424,300 youth were arrested and nearly 128,000 youth were detained in the United States, with disproportionately higher rates for minoritized youth when compared to White youth.1 While the number of youth in detention facilities has decreased since the late 1990s, a staggering number of children and adolescents enter the justice system each year. This remains a critical issue for child and adolescent psychiatrists. By the time youth enter juvenile detention, individual mental health needs are already exceptionally high.

Advocacy Training in Residency and Addressing Needs in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry: A 30-Year Review
In its Declaration of Professional Responsibility, the American Medical Association (AMA) states that all physicians must “advocate for the social, economic, educational, and political changes that ameliorate suffering and contribute to human well-being.”1 Increasingly, medical schools and graduate medical education (GME) programs are “adopting advocacy and service-learning curricula that include community resour ce identification and referral, screening for social determinants of health (SDH), [and] effective use of medical-legal partnerships and political engagement,” aimed at improving the outcomes of physician-...

Study Preregistration: Individual Participant Data Meta-Analysis: Individual Differences in Mediators of Parenting Program Effects on Disruptive Behavior
Parenting programs are the most widely used strategy to prevent and reduce children ’s disruptive behavior,1 and yet we know very little about what exact changes in parenting behavior underlie program effects on disruptive child behavior. In fact, most studies have been unable to identify any mediators of parenting program effects.2 This is likely because, at least in part, indiv idual trials are likely to be underpowered to detect mediation effects,3 and are unable to take the known heterogeneity in program effects4 into account.
