Background: In mental health, transition refers to the pathway of young people from child and adolescent to adult services. Training of mental health psychiatrists on transition-related topics offers the opportunity to improve clinical practice and experiences of young people reaching the upper age limit of child and adolescent care.
…Preterm birth has been linked with postpartum depressive (PPD) disorders and high symptom levels, but evidence remains conflicting and limited in quality. It remains unclear whether PPD symptoms of mothers with preterm babies were already elevated before childbirth, and whether PPD symptoms mediate/aggravate the effect of preterm birth on child mental disorders.
…Peer victimization and discrimination are two related forms of social victimization.
However, the majority of studies only focus on one form or the other. This study investigates
resilience in victims of both these forms of violence.
Children born extremely preterm (EP) have poorer academic attainment than their term-born peers. There is a need to identify the specific cognitive mechanisms that are associated with poor academic attainment in preterm populations to inform the development of intervention strategies.
…This study examined differences in ADHD symptoms and diagnosis between preterm and term-born adults (≥18 years), and tested if ADHD is related to gestational age, birth weight, multiple births, or neonatal complications in preterm borns.
…AIM – To investigate the strength of the independent associations of mathematics performance in children born very preterm (<32wks’ gestation or<1500g birthweight) with attending postsecondary education and their current employment status in young adulthood.
…Adults born preterm (<37 weeks) have lower educational attainment than those born term. Whether this relationship is modified by family factors such as socioeconomic background is, however, less well known. We investigated whether the relationship between gestational age and educational attainment in adulthood differed according to parents’ educational level in 4 Nordic countries.
…Bullying is the systematic abuse of power and defined as aggressive behavior or intentional harm-doing by peers that is carried out repeatedly, and involves an imbalance of power, either actual or perceived, between the victim and the bully. Bullying occurs in situations where children or adults are unable to choose their peers such as between siblings in the family or with peers at school or at work. One in 3 young people report having been bullied at some point in their lives. Being bullied by siblings or peers is the most frequent form of abuse encountered by children, much higher than abuse by parents or other adult perpetrators.
…Data on psychiatric disorders in survivors born very preterm (VP; <32 weeks) or very low birthweight (VLBW; <1500 g) are sparse. We compared rates of psychiatric diagnoses between VP/VLBW and term-born, normal birthweight (term/NBW) control participants.
…Preterm birth(<37 gestational weeks) is associated with numerous adversities, however, data on positive developmental outcomes remain limited. We examined if preterm and term born(≥37 gestational weeks) adults differ in dispositional optimism/pessimism, a personality trait associated with health and wellbeing. We assessed if birth weight z-score, neurosensory impairments and parental education modified the outcome.
