Article Abstract

Purpose: Experiences of young people transitioning from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) to Adult Mental Health Services (AMHS) have mostly been investigated qualitatively. This study adapts and validates the On Your Own Feet - Transition Experiences Scale (OYOF-TES) in a sample of CAMHS users in Europe and describes young people's and parents' experiences with transition and end of care at CAMHS.

Methods: The OYOF-TES was adapted to a mental health setting and translated. An End Of Care (OYOF-EOC) version (self- and parent-report) was developed. A total of 457 young people and 383 parents completed an OYOF-TES or OYOF-EOC. Psychometric properties and descriptives are presented.

Results: The Cronbach's alphas of the OYOF-TES and OYOF-EOC parent/self-report ranged from 0.92 to 0.94. The two-factor structure was confirmed. The mean overall satisfaction reported by young people was 6.15 (0-10; SD=2.92) for transition and 7.14 (0-10; SD=2.37) for care ending. However, 26.7%-36.4% of young people were unsatisfied.

Discussion: The OYOF-TES and OYOF-EOC can be used reliably in mental healthcare settings to capture young people's and parents' transition experiences. The majority of young people and parents was satisfied with the process of transition and care ending, yet a third of young people had negative experiences.

Aim: Globally, tuberculosis incidence shows notable sex disparity, with higher rates observed in males. While this pattern is well documented in adults from high-incidence countries, the influence of sex on tuberculosis incidence in children and adolescents, particularly in low-incidence settings, remains unclear. This study investigated sex-specific tuberculosis incidence rates across all age groups, focusing on adolescents, in a low-incidence country.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the evolution of jump and sprint force-production capacities with maturation in young soccer players. One hundred sixteen young elite male soccer players aged 11-17 years were assigned to six different groups according to their maturity status. The force-velocity (F-V) profiles in jumping and sprinting performances were compared among groups.

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune chronic disease that leads to the destruction of pancreatic beta cells and thus requires lifelong insulin therapy. Constraints and adverse events associated to insulin therapy are well known as well as the risk of long-term complications linked to chronic hyperglycaemia. Symptomatic T1D is preceded by a preclinical asymptomatic period, which is characterized by the presence of at least two auto-antibodies against beta cell without disturbances of blood glucose control (stage 1) or, in addition to immunological biomarkers, by the presence of mild dysglycaemia reflecting a defect of early insulin secretion (stage 2).

Background: Individuals with a family history of bipolar disorder are at increased risk of developing affective psychopathology. Longitudinal imaging studies in young people with familial risk have been limited, and cortical developmental trajectories in the progression towards illness remain obscure.

Aims: To establish high-resolution longitudinal differences in cortical structure that are associated with risk of bipolar disorder.

Aim: A total of 30% of individuals with epilepsy are resistant to drug treatment. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the anterior nucleus of the thalamus (ANT) shows promise for treating drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE), but further research is needed to optimize DBS parameters, including stimulation frequency. This study aimed to reveal the optimal frequency for ANT-DBS by testing the real-time effects of various stimulation frequencies on the ANT among patients undergoing stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) electrode implantation.
