This study offers population-based insights into the relationship between domestic violence and mental health across genders. The findings may help guide targeted interventions and inform public health policy, particularly in high-income settings
The Ability of the Hopkins Symptom Checklist-5 to Identify Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Major Depressive Disorder in the General Population
Background : The Hopkins Symptom Checklist (HSCL) is a widely used measure of anxiety and depression symptoms. The short form HSCL-5 is especially suitable for large population-based studies, but its ability to detect mental disorders in the general population remains unknown. The aim of the study was to assess how well the HSCL-5 identified cases of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) measured by the Composite …
Enhanced Academic Support for children in child welfare services
Enhanced Academic Support (EAS) is an intervention designed to improve academic achievement among children who receive support from the child welfare services (CWSs) in the home. We investigated the effects of EAS in a randomized controlled trial in Norway. In total, 82 families who received support from the CWS were included in the study (37 in the intervention group, 45 in the comparison group). Both groups were invited to a pretest, posttest, …
Early academic struggles among children with home-based support from child welfare services
Children in child welfare services have a higher risk of becoming marginalized as they grow up to be young adults. An important protective factor against later marginalization is academic achievement. Unfortunately, studies show that children who receive support from child welfare services have poorer academic achievement. Most research focuses on children in out-of-home care and on performance in secondary school or school completion rate, while…
Exploring how intervention characteristics affect implementability
Prominent implementation theories and frameworks articulate characteristics of interventions (e.g., contextual alignment) as important determinants of successful implementation in natural practice settings. Yet, few studies have explored such characteristics in-depth. Research is needed to understand how and why interventions' characteristics can make them more or less implementable in their intended practice settings. Child Welfare Services (CWS…
Individual level predictors of implementation climate in child welfare services
Child welfare services (CWS) are characterized by having demanding work environments, large diversity in client needs, and limited use of evidence-based practices (EBPs). Thus, CWSs can benefit from quality improvement strategies. Accumulating evidence suggests that an organization’s strategic climate towards implementation of change and EBPs (i.e., Implementation Climate [IC]) is a critical determinant for quality improvement, such as implementa…
