Disability-based peer victimization and mental health disorders in a population-based study of youth.
Bullying victimization, language proficiency, and school belonging among Syrian refugee early adolescents in Canada
Refugee children's school adjustment is often associated with host country language proficiency, peer victimization, and school belonging, but longitudinal associations among these constructs may reflect both stable child differences and time‐varying school‐experience processes. This three‐wave longitudinal study examined English language proficiency, bullying victimization, and school belonging in 68 Syrian refugee children in Canada. We estimat…
Initial diagnosis patterns of coexisting mental health and neurodevelopmental conditions in autistic children and youth
BACKGROUND: Elevated prevalence of coexisting health conditions has been observed in autistic people, yet how the timing of their initial diagnoses varies by sex and age of autism diagnosis remains understudied. Using a person-centered approach, we examined the patterns of initial diagnosis for mental health and neurodevelopmental conditions among autistic children and youth identified from the general population. METHODS: The sample was drawn fr…
Childhood poverty, social support, immigration background and adolescent health and life satisfaction
OBJECTIVES: This study examined whether poverty (neighborhood and household) was associated with future health or life satisfaction outcomes and whether the association operated through social support (adult support at home, adult support at school, peer belonging), or differed by the immigration background (nonimmigrant family or immigrant family) of the family. METHODS: This study utilized a retrospective, longitudinal, population-based cohort …
Adaptation and validation of the Washington group/unicef child functioning module in a nationally representative sample of Canadian children and youth
This study extends existing research by demonstrating the utility of the WG/UNICEF CFM in assessing cognitive, behavioral, interpersonal, and emotional functional difficulties at the population level in a high-income country. The measure's strong psychometric properties, ease of use, and cost-free administration support its applicability in general population health surveys of children and youth. Findings highlight the value of a dimensional appr…
Variations in Conduct, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Mood and Anxiety Disorders Among Children and Youth from Immigrant, Refugee, and Non-Immigrant Backgrounds in British Columbia, Canada
Despite growing attention to child and youth mental health, knowledge gaps exist related to how mental disorders vary for children and youth from diverse backgrounds. The purpose of the present study was to investigate how conduct, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and mood/anxiety diagnoses varied by immigrant, refugee, and non-immigrant background in British Columbia, Canada. The study utilized population-based, linked administra…
Examining interparental conflict, parent-child conflict, and child emotion regulation within the Family Check-Up®
Interparental and parent-child conflict are key familial risk factors for emotion regulation (ER) difficulties in early childhood. This study examined the impact of the Family Check-Up® (FCU), a preventative family-centered intervention, on child ER at 12 months post-intervention, and whether the FCU moderated the association between early exposure to family conflicts (interparental and parent-child conflict) and ER outcomes. In a longitudinal ra…
Parental employment quality and the mental health and school performance of children and youth
BACKGROUND: Lower-quality employment, characterised by excessive or part-time hours, irregular schedules and inadequate earnings, is a key social determinant of health among adults. Research examining parental employment quality in relation to the mental health and school performance of children is lacking. The study objective was to measure the associations between parental employment quality and child mental health symptoms and school performan…
The role of refugee children’s host country language in their resilience to resettlement
One hundred twenty-six children (between 6 and 13 years) in 71 families who were resettled in Canada, as a result of the Syrian Civil War, were followed up over 3 years, using a sibling comparison, longitudinal design. This design allowed us to test the hypothesis that host country receptive language competence (L2) protects refugee children's mental health in families with limited resources (low parental education, large family size). The siblin…
Parental employment quality during childhood and mental health in adolescence
Socioeconomic conditions play an important role in shaping the mental health outcomes of children and youth. Socioeconomic disadvantage in early life is often a product of precarious parental employment. Although more and more parents are participating in the workforce, a growing share of working parents rely on jobs that are insecure, unstable, and low paying. Against the backdrop of these trends, we examined the relationship between parental em…
Worldwide Prevalence and Disability From Mental Disorders Across Childhood and Adolescence
Importance The period from childhood to early adulthood involves increased susceptibility to the onset of mental disorders, with implications for policy making that may be better appreciated by disaggregated analyses of narrow age groups. Objective To estimate the global prevalence and years lived with disability (YLDs) associated with mental disorders and substance use disorders (SUDs) across 4 age groups using data from the 2019 Global Burden o…
Changes in peer belonging, school climate, and the emotional health of immigrant, refugee, and non‐immigrant early adolescents
INTRODUCTION: Early adolescents who are new to Canada experience dual challenges of navigating developmental changes and multiple cultures. This study examined how changes in early adolescents' emotional health from ages 9 to 12 differed by immigration background, and to what extent peer belonging and supportive school climate protected or promoted their emotional health. METHODS: This study drew upon linked self-report and administrative data. A…
The association between teacher distress and student mental health outcomes
Findings from this study highlight the importance of concurrently addressing the mental health needs of educators and students. School safety represents a modifiable target for prevention and intervention efforts in schools that could serve to promote student mental health and mitigate potential risk factors in schools
Problem checklists and standardized diagnostic interviews
BACKGROUND: The standard approach for classifying child/youth psychiatric disorder as present or absent in epidemiological studies is lay-administered structured, standardized diagnostic interviews (interviews) based on categorical taxonomies such as the DSM and ICD. Converting problem checklist scale scores (checklists) to binary classifications provides a simple, inexpensive alternative. METHODS: Using assessments obtained from 737 parents, we …
Mental Health of Immigrant Children and Adolescents (6–17 Years) in Canada
No significant differences in overall mental health status were evident between immigrant and non-immigrant children and adolescents in Canada but differences exist in emotional problems and hyperactivity. Sex has an influence on immigrant child mental health that varies depending on the specific mental health indicator
Resettlement, mental health, and coping
Study findings highlight both the resilience of refugee parents and the psychological toll of navigating their families through a new and challenging environment. Policies and programs to provide comprehensive social and economic supports to refugees beyond the first one to two years after arrival are necessary to mitigate the mental health impacts of displacement over time and strengthen individual and family resilience. Such programs should inc…
The role of socioemotional wellbeing difficulties and adversity in the L2 acquisition of first-generation refugee children
First-generation refugee children often experience pre- and post-migration adversity and display high levels of mental health/wellbeing difficulties, but to date, research has not examined the impact of such factors on refugee children's L2 acquisition. Accordingly, this study examined the influence of externalizing and internalizing problem behaviours (wellbeing), time in refugee camps and low socioeconomic status (SES) (adversity) on the Englis…
Adolescent health outcomes
Experiencing both CM and PV substantially increases the odds of poor health outcomes among adolescents, and moderating relationships affect females and males differently. Continued research is needed to develop effective prevention strategies and to examine protective factors that may mitigate these adverse health outcomes, including potential sex differences
Parenthood and well‐being
The present study examined correlates of well‐being amongst a cross‐sectional, national sample of Canadians, focusing on respondents’ parenthood and immigration status. Indirect associations via time pressure and religious practices were examined, in addition to the moderating role of religious practices on the relationship between time pressure and well‐being. Participants were from the 2015 Canadian General Social Survey between 25 and 65 years…

Food insecurity, state fragility and youth mental health
Youth in fragile settings face disproportionate risks of experiencing food insecurity and poor mental health. Cross-national evidence is lacking on the association between food insecurity and mental health in youth populations, and on state fragility as a social determinant of these experiences. We analysed data from six cycles of the Gallup World Poll (2014-2019), an annual survey that contains multi-item scales of food insecurity, mental health…

Hiv/Aids Knowledge, Women’s Education, Epidemic Severity and Protective Sexual Behaviour in Low- And Middle-Income Countries
A fundamental public health strategy to reduce the risk of HIV/AIDS is to increase levels of awareness and knowledge about the disease. Although knowledge about HIV/AIDS and protective sexual behaviour are linked theoretically, relatively little is known about their empirical relationship. Using Demographic and Health Survey data from 23 low- and middle-income countries, this study used multilevel logistic regression models: to examine cross-nati…
Contextual Influences on Children’s Mental Health and School Performance
Data from a nationally representative sample of 13,470 children aged 4–11 years were used to study contextual influences on children’s mental health and school performance, the moderating effects of family immigrant status and underlying family processes that might explain these relationships. Despite greater socioeconomic disadvantage, children living in recent immigrant families had lower levels of emotional–behavioral problems and higher level…
