Article Abstract

Objectives: Using the Psychosocial Assessment Tool-Craniofacial Version (PAT-CV), this study measured variation in psychosocial risk in families of children with craniofacial conditions by demographic and clinical characteristics, frequency of condition-related problems, concordance between caregivers' report of risk, and association between risk level and psychosocial service utilization.

Design: Caregivers (n = 242) of 217 children with craniofacial conditions completed the PAT-CV, a psychosocial risk screener. Medical records were also abstracted.

Results: The PAT-CV scores varied significantly by insurance type and syndromic versus nonsyndromic diagnosis type. Language problems were most commonly reported on the Craniofacial Problems subscale, though 13% to 56% of parents endorsed specific problems. Mothers and fathers reported similar risk levels. Families with past social work or behavioral health consults had higher PAT-CV scores than those without consultations.

Conclusion: The PAT-CV efficiently screens for psychosocial risk and craniofacial-specific problems. This tool may help clinicians identify families in need of intervention.

Background And Hypotheses: Sexual minority youth are at increased risk for psychotic experiences, potentially due to identity-related difficulties. We hypothesized that sexual minority youth would report greater identity difficulties, and that these difficulties would be associated with heightened suspiciousness in daily life. Finally, we examined whether these associations differ between sexual minority and heterosexual adolescents.

Objectives: Night shift work has been classified as probably carcinogenic to humans, possibly related to suppression of melatonin secretion. Although experimental studies suggest that melatonin inhibits intestinal tumor proliferation, epidemiological evidence for a relationship between night shift work and colorectal cancer (CRC) risk is lacking.

Methods: We prospectively examined the association between night shift work and CRC in the Nightingale Study.

Chronic psychosocial stress is a frequent burden in modern societies and risk factor for numerous somatic and affective disorders, including social anxiety disorder (SAD). Traumatic experiences after prolonged periods of stress exposure often trigger these diseases. Although human and animal studies support the hypothesis of an over-reactive immune system being critically involved in the pathogenesis of psychopathologies, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood.

Background: Adolescence is a critical transitional period between childhood and adulthood, marked by dramatic changes in physical and psychosocial health. Adolescents are vulnerable to both depression and adiposity, but how these conditions evolve over time from adolescence to early adulthood and whether sex differences exist remains unclear.

Objective: This study aims to first identify the population heterogeneity in the joint trajectories of depressive symptoms and BMI from adolescence to early adulthood and then explore the sex differences in the joint trajectories.

Transdiagnostic group interventions address the limitations of youth mental health care services, including the disorder-specific nature of existing treatments and the limited capacity of individual psychotherapies. This review synthesizes the 1) characteristics, applications, parental involvement, patient and public involvement (PPI), and 2) data on efficacy, adherence, safety and treatment satisfaction evidence of transdiagnostic group interventions for children and adolescents. Following PRISMA guidelines, a preregistered systematic literature search identified 6845 publications on transdiagnostic in-person group-based interventions for children and adolescents (mean age ≤ 18 years).
