Identifying intersectional prospective predictors of suicidal thoughts and behaviors among sexual minority adults
In general, discrimination and distress predict suicidality in sexual minorities • Co-occurring psychosocial factors increase risk for suicidal thoughts and behaviors • Unique interactions of factors highlight the need for tailored interventions
Global burden and strength of evidence for 88 risk factors in 204 countries and 811 subnational locations, 1990–2021
BACKGROUND: Understanding the health consequences associated with exposure to risk factors is necessary to inform public health policy and practice. To systematically quantify the contributions of risk factor exposures to specific health outcomes, the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021 aims to provide comprehensive estimates of exposure levels, relative health risks, and attributable burden of disease for 88 ri…
A systematic review and Bayesian meta-analysis of 30 years of stress generation research
Racial and ethnic trends in mental health service utilisation and perceived unmet need in the USA
BACKGROUND: Two decades ago, the Surgeon General issued a report highlighting concerning disparities in mental healthcare among racial and ethnic minority populations. The present study characterised national trends in mental health treatment utilisation by race and ethnicity across a 13-year period. METHODS: Nationally representative data were drawn from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health from 2008 through 2020 (unweighted n=4 41 993). T…
History of Depression, Elevated Body Mass Index, and Waist-to-Height Ratio in Preadolescent Children
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate whether a history of depression or self-injurious thoughts and behaviors predict elevated body mass index (BMI) and elevated waist-to-height ratio in preadolescents. METHODS: Baseline data were evaluated from a large, nationally representative cohort study of 9- and 10-year-old children (unweighted n = 11,875), the Adolescent Brain and Cognitive Development study. RESULTS: In the weighted sample, 10.6% of c…
Emotion dysregulation and non-suicidal self-injury
Background: Over the past several years there has been considerable interest in the relation between emotion dysregulation and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), particularly given that rates of NSSI have been increasing and NSSI is a critical risk factor for suicidal behavior. To date, however, no synthesis of empirical findings exists. Methods: The present study presents a comprehensive meta-analytic review of the literature on the association be…
Childhood maltreatment and non-suicidal self-injury
Childhood Trauma and Sleep Among Young Adults With a History of Depression
Child maltreatment and sleep disturbances are particularly prevalent among individuals with a history of depression. However, the precise relation between child maltreatment and sleep within this population is unclear. The present study evaluated childhood maltreatment and trauma as a predictor of sleep duration and insomnia symptoms among young adults with prior depression. A total of 102 young adults (18-22; 78% female) with a history of clinic…
Predictors of Partial Hospital Readmission for Young Children with Oppositional Defiant Disorder
Distinguishing Mediational Models and Analyses in Clinical Psychology: Atemporal Associations Do Not Imply Causation
PURPOSE: A popular way to attempt to discern causality in clinical psychology is through mediation analysis. However, mediation analysis is sometimes applied to research questions in clinical psychology when inferring causality is impossible. This practice may soon increase with new, readily available, and easy-to-use statistical advances. Thus, we here provide a heuristic to remind clinical psychological scientists of the assumptions of mediatio…
Depression as a mediator of negative cognitive style and hopelessness in stress generation
Over the past 20 years, there has been considerable interest in the role of cognitive factors in the stress generation process. Generally, these studies find that depressed individuals, or individuals at cognitive risk for depression, are more likely to experience stressful life events that are in part influenced by their own characteristics and behaviours (i.e., negative dependent events). However, there is still much to be learnt about the medi…
