Adverse childhood experiences and mental health: the mediating role of perceived social support and coping strategies.

Background: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are significant risk factors for poor mental health in adolescence. However, the mechanisms linking ACEs to depression, anxiety, and stress remain underexplored in low-resource settings like Bangladesh. To examine the associations between ACEs and mental health and investigate the mediating effects of perceived social support and coping strategies among adolescents.

Research experience and career factors in relation to mental health problems: Prevalence, risk factors, and machine learning-based predictive estimates.

Background: Mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, and insomnia, are increasingly prevalent among university students and graduates, especially those involved in academic research. The impact of research-related characteristics on mental health remains underexplored.

Aim: We examined this relationship using machine learning alongside traditional statistical analyses and GIS mapping.
