…The association of early regulatory problems with behavioral problems and cognitive functioning in adulthood: two cohorts in two countries
Regulatory problems (RPs; excessive crying, sleeping, or feeding difficulties) that co-occur (i.e., multiple) or are persistent have been associated with cognitive and behavioral problems in childhood. However, it remains unknown if multiple or persistent RPs are associated with cognitive and behavioral problems in adulthood.
…Aberrant claustrum structure in preterm-born neonates: an MRI study

…Emotional problems and peer victimization in adolescents born very preterm and full-term: Role of self-control skills in childhood

…Leaving child and adolescent mental health services in the MILESTONE cohort: a longitudinal cohort study on young people’s mental health indicators, care pathways, and outcomes in Europe
The configuration of having separate mental health services by age, namely child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) and adult mental health services (AMHS), might be a barrier to continuity of care that adversely affects young people’s mental health. However, no studies have investigated whether discontinuity of care in the transition period affects mental health. We aimed to discern the type of care young people receive after reaching the upper age limit of their CAMHS and examine differences in outcomes at 24-month follow-up between young people receiving different types of care.

…Cortisol reactivity and negative affect among preterm infants at 12 months during a mother-infant interaction task

…Health-Related Quality-of-Life Outcomes of Very Preterm or Very Low Birth Weight Adults: Evidence From an Individual Participant Data Meta-Analysis
Background and Objective
Assessment of health-related quality of life for individuals born very preterm and/or low birthweight (VP/VLBW) offers valuable complementary information alongside biomedical assessments. However, the impact of VP/VLBW status on health-related quality of life in adulthood is inconclusive. The objective of this study was to examine associations between VP/VLBW status and preference-based health-related quality-of-life outcomes in early adulthood.
…Risk-taking behavior of adolescents and young adults born preterm
Objectives
To study sexually transmitted Chlamydia trachomatis infections (STCTs), teenage pregnancies, and payment defaults in individuals born preterm as proxies for engaging in risk-taking behavior.
…Maternal mental health and adverse birth outcomes
