Article Abstract

Parental beliefs and motivation are instrumental in improving childhood digital media use (DMU). Parents (n = 611) completed questionnaires about childhood DMU assessing knowledge, interest in counseling, motivation to change, self-efficacy, and beliefs. Less than a third correctly recognized screen time limits. Twenty-seven percent received childhood DMU information from a doctor, while 46% stated they would like such information. Only 2% had a doctor-recommended DMU plan. Interest in DMU topics, motivation to improve, and management self-efficacy were moderate. Top negative beliefs were addiction to DMU (52%), sleep problems (39%), obesity (33%), social skills (33%), and inappropriate content (32%). Differences between age categories existed for social (48%, = .01) and language (14%, = .01) concerns (highest for toddlers), attention concerns (27%, = .02; highest in preschoolers), and depression (13%, < .001) and low self-esteem (8%, = .04; highest in teens). Findings support further development of approaches to address DMU, tailored by age-specific common parental views.

Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) for several psychiatric disorders have been associated with the clinical presentation of bipolar disorder (BD). PRSs have also been suggested to moderate the associations between childhood maltreatment and BD severity. In this study, we investigated how PRSs for BD, schizophrenia, major depressive disorders (MDD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) might disentangle the clinical and dimensional heterogeneity of BD in a sample of 852 affected individuals.

Study Objectives: The heritable trait of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) parasomnias is well known, but differences between sporadic and familial phenotypes have not been studied. The aim of our study was to evaluate, in a clinical series of adults with NREM parasomnias, clinical and sleep differences between familial versus sporadic forms, and between childhood versus adolescent versus adult-onset forms.

Methods: We prospectively collected clinical features, family history, questionnaires (Epworth Sleepiness Score and Paris Arousal Disorders Severity Scale (PADSS)), and video-polysomnography measures from patients with NREM parasomnias confirmed by video-polysomnography, admitted over a 12-year period.
