Positive versus negative mental health in emerging adulthood: A national cross-sectional survey
Our results could be seen to indicate that positive and negative mental health are distinct and complementary constructs. Still, the results of our factor analysis may specifically reflect the wording of the items. We conclude that the GHQ-12 is an appropriate tool for its original purpose, to detect "psychiatric morbidity". More refined measures, including predictors of health, are needed to assess PMH and validate the bidimensionality hypothesi…
The Effect of Violent and Nonviolent Video Games on Heart Rate Variability, Sleep, and Emotions in Adolescents With Different Violent Gaming Habits
OBJECTIVE: To study cardiac, sleep-related, and emotional reactions to playing violent (VG) versus nonviolent video games (NVG) in adolescents with different gaming habits. METHODS: Thirty boys (aged 13-16 years, standard deviation = 0.9), half of them low-exposed (≤1 h/d) and half high-exposed (≥3 h/d) to violent games, played a VG/NVG for 2 hours during two different evenings in their homes. Heart rate (HR) and HR variability were registered fr…
A national cohort study of parental socioeconomic status and non-fatal suicidal behaviour-the mediating role of school performance
School performance is an important mediator through which parental socioeconomic status translates into a risk for non-fatal suicidal behaviour. Prevention efforts aimed to reduce socioeconomic inequalities in non-fatal suicidal behaviour among young people will need to consider socioeconomic inequalities in school performance
The enigma of the welfare state: Excellent child health prerequisites – poor subjective health
The rate of subjective health complaints among Swedish children is increasing by age and over time, and more so than among children in other Scandinavian countries. In contrast, the somatic health and prerequisites for wellbeing are excellent. This paradoxical situation, The Enigma of the Welfare State, is the focus of this viewpoint. We argue that one important background factor may be late adverse effects of the welfare society itself and some …
School performance at age 16 among international adoptees: A Swedish national cohort study
School performance at age 16 for 6448 intercountry adoptees to Sweden was compared with that of siblings and majority population peers. The school performance of Korean-born adoptees was on a par with nonadopted peers, but non-Korean adoptees’ school performance was lower, as was that of adoptees who were older at the time of adoption
Degrading Attitudes Related to Foreign Appearance: Interviews with Swedish Female Adoptees from Asia
Seventeen adopted young women from South Korea and Thailand (age 25–35 years) were interviewed about their experiences of degrading attitudes related to their geographic origin and physical appearance. Prejudices related to sexuality displayed four themes — exotic associations, availability, strong libido and exploitation — corresponding to prevailing Western sexualised cultural stereotypes about Asian women. Prejudices specific to adoption inclu…
Educational attainment and cognitive competence in adopted men — A study of international and national adoptees, siblings and a general Swedish population
Suicide attempts and severe psychiatric morbidity among former child welfare clients – a national cohort study
Background: Few large sample studies have examined psychiatric morbidity among former child welfare/protection clients. In this study, risks for suicide attempts and severe psychiatric morbidity in younger years were assessed for former child welfare clients in ten national birth cohorts, comparing them with general population peers and inter‐country adoptees. Methods: We used national register data for almost one million people: 22,305 former ch…

Avoidable mortality among child welfare recipients and intercountry adoptees: A national cohort study
Objective: To compare rates of avoidable mortality in adolescence in child welfare recipients and intercountry adoptees with the general population. Design: A register study of the entire national cohort of 989 871 Swedish residents born 1973–82 in the national census of 1990. Multivariate Cox analyses of proportional hazards were used to analyse avoidable deaths between 13 to 27 years of age during 1991–2000. Participants: 12 240 intercountry ad…
Intercountry adopted children as young adults--A Swedish cohort study
In a national cohort study, the family and labor market situation, health problems, and education of 5,942 Swedish intercountry adoptees born between 1968 and 1975 were examined and compared with those of the general population, immigrants, and a siblings group--all age matched--in national registers from 1997 to 1999. Adoptees more often had psychiatric problems and were longtime recipients of social welfare. Level of education was on par with t…
Suicide, psychiatric illness, and social maladjustment in intercountry adoptees in Sweden: A cohort study
Societal reactions to sexually abusive adolescents: A Swedish perspective
It is urgent to detect and appropriately treat young sex offenders (YSOs) to prevent continued sexual offending into adulthood. We studied the presence of two significant factors in YSO treatment, i.e. interagency cooperation and specific focus on offending behaviours among social services, mental health, and law enforcement professionals involved with identified YSOs. The sample consisted of a subset of all 56 YSOs subjected to forensic psychiat…
