  • Educational pathways and outcomes for care‐experienced children

    Open AccessEmily Lowthian, Stuart Bedston et al.ARTICLEBritish Educational Research…2026

    Children who are removed from their birth families during childhood—termed care‐experienced—can be at risk for lower educational attainment and poorer school experiences, often linked to deprivation and behavioural factors. However, research often uses aggregated measures that obscure the complexities of care (e.g. timing, and placements) and evidence is needed to understand the factors that could explain the link between care‐experience and atta…

  • Maternal Religiosity and Adolescent Substance Use

    Open AccessIsaac Halstead, Jon Heron et al.ARTICLEJournal of Religion and Health2025

    Adolescent substance use can have a significant negative impact on life trajectories. Therefore, identifying factors associated with adolescent substance use is important. Previous research has identified parental religiosity as a factor associated with lower adolescent substance use. However, these studies suffered from a number of limitations and are often focussed on US samples, which limit the generalisability of their findings. The present s…

  • Childhood conduct problems, potential snares in adolescence, and problematic substance use in Brazil

    Open AccessFauve Stocker, Jon Heron et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research on Adolescence2025Referências: 3

    Childhood conduct problems are associated with problematic substance use in adulthood; however, little is known about what might explain these associations outside of high-income countries where the majority of research is conducted. Data were analyzed from 4599 young people from the 1993 Pelotas Birth Cohort in Brazil. The exposure was conduct problems (age 11 years). Outcomes included hazardous alcohol consumption and illicit drug use (age 22 y…

  • Counterfactual Mediation Analysis with a Latent Class Exposure

    Open AccessGemma Hammerton, Jon Heron et al.ARTICLEMultivariate Behavioral Research2024

    Latent classes are a useful tool in developmental research, however there are challenges associated with embedding them within a counterfactual mediation model. We develop and test a new method "updated pseudo class draws (uPCD)" to examine the association between a latent class exposure and distal outcome that could easily be extended to allow the use of any counterfactual mediation method. UPCD extends an existing group of methods (based on pse…

  • Maternal smoking during pregnancy and offspring risk of intellectual disability

    Open AccessPaul Madley‐Dowd, Paul Madley-Dowd et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2024

    The results are not consistent with a causal effect of maternal smoking during pregnancy on offspring ID

  • Exploring the associations between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and adolescent cancer risk behaviours in the ALSPAC cohort

    Open AccessPaul Okediji, David Troy et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    Childhood adversity was associated with a greater degree of engagement in adolescent cancer risk behaviours. This finding demonstrates the need for targeted primary and secondary prevention interventions that reduce engagement across multiple cancer risk behaviours for children and adolescents who have experienced adversity in childhood, such as parental substance misuse and separation, and reduce exposure to adversity

  • Prospective relationships between patterns of religious belief/non-belief and mental health in adults

  • Investigating Change in Student Financial Stress at a UK University

    Open AccessJacks Bennett, Jon Heron et al.ARTICLEEducation Sciences2023

    Growing concern for the mental health and wellbeing of higher education students has been linked to increasing financial pressures associated with studying at university, a factor potentially magnified by the recent global pandemic and economic downturn. With limited longitudinal research to date, this study used cross-sectional survey data collected annually at a large UK university (n = 10,876) to examine overall trends in students’ experience …

  • The effect of parental alcohol use on alcohol use disorder in young adulthood

    Open AccessMallory Stephenson, Jon Heron et al.ARTICLEJournal of Adolescence2023

    INTRODUCTION: Parental alcohol use and problems are risk factors for alcohol use disorder (AUD), and these effects may be mediated by adolescent alcohol expectancies and consumption. In the present study, we tested the direct effects of mothers' and fathers' alcohol consumption on young adult AUD, as well as the indirect effects through adolescent maximum alcohol use, alcohol consumption, and alcohol expectancies. METHODS: Participants were 5160 …

  • Emotional dysregulation in childhood and disordered eating and self‐harm in adolescence

    Open AccessNaomi Warne, Jon Heron et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2023

    BACKGROUND: Emotional dysregulation may be a risk factor for disordered eating and self-harm in young people, but few prospective studies have assessed these associations long-term, or considered potential mediators. We examined prospective relationships between childhood emotional dysregulation and disordered eating and self-harm in adolescence; and social cognition, emotional recognition, and being bullied as mediators. METHODS: We analysed Avo…

  • Co‐development of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and autistic trait trajectories from childhood to early adulthood

    Open AccessAmy Shakeshaft, Jon Heron et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2023

    BACKGROUND: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism, defined as traits or disorders, commonly co-occur. Developmental trajectories of ADHD and autistic traits both show heterogeneity in onset and course, but little is known about how symptom trajectories co-develop into adulthood. METHODS: Using data from a population cohort, the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children, we examined correlations between ADHD and autistic…

  • Developing and validating a prediction model of adolescent major depressive disorder in the offspring of depressed parents

    Open AccessAlice Stephens, Judith Allardyce et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2023

    BACKGROUND: Parental depression is common and is a major risk factor for depression in adolescents. Early identification of adolescents at elevated risk of developing major depressive disorder (MDD) in this group could improve early access to preventive interventions. METHODS: Using longitudinal data from 337 adolescents at high familial risk of depression, we developed a risk prediction model for adolescent MDD. The model was externally validate…

  • Young People and Intimate Partner Violence

    Open AccessMaria Barnes, Christine Barter et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Violence2023Citada por: 1Referências: 2

    Professionals in all sectors (including schools) need IPVA trauma-informed training that encourages equal power dynamics, with a clear understanding of and access to referral pathways, to be able to respond to the needs of YP experiencing IPVA

  • Maternal postnatal depressive symptoms and offspring emotional and behavioral development at age 7 years in a U.K. birth cohort

    Open AccessIryna Culpin, Gemma Hammerton et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2023Referências: 1

    There is considerable variability in developmental outcomes of children whose mothers experience depression. Few longitudinal studies have examined contributions of paternal involvement in the association between maternal postnatal depression (PND) and offspring development. We examined pathways from maternal PND at 8 weeks (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale; total score) to offspring emotional and behavioral development at 7 years (Strengths …

  • Suicidal ideation during adolescence

    Open AccessSéverine Lannoy, Becky Mars et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2022

    BACKGROUND: Suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STB) constitute a central public health concern in adolescence. Previous studies emphasized the difficulty to cope with negative life events during adolescence as a risk factor for STB. Familial and genetic liability has also been documented to explain STB risk. Nevertheless, less is known about aggregate genetic liability and its possible interaction with negative life events. Moreover, information is…

  • Being silenced, loneliness and being heard

    Open AccessMaria Barnes, Eszter Szilassy et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    It is likely that negative labelling and loneliness mediate pathways to IPVA, especially among more disadvantaged young women. The impact of early maltreatment on young people's wellbeing and own relationships is compounded by disadvantage, disability and ethnicity. Participants' resilience was enabled by support in the community

  • The Influence of Alcohol Consumption on Fighting, Shoplifting and Vandalism in Young Adults

    Open AccessIeuan Evans, Jon Heron et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    Experimental studies support the conventional belief that people behave more aggressively whilst under the influence of alcohol. To examine how these experimental findings manifest in real life situations, this study uses a method for estimating evidence for causality with observational data-'situational decomposition' to examine the association between alcohol consumption and crime in young adults from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and …

  • Is adolescent multiple risk behaviour associated with reduced socioeconomic status in young adulthood and do those with low socioeconomic backgrounds experience greater negative impact? Findings from …

    Open AccessLaura Tinner, Caroline Wright et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    Adolescence appears to be a critical time in the life course to address risk behaviours, due to the likelihood that behaviours established here may have effects in adulthood. Intervening on adolescent MRB could improve later SES outcomes and thus affect health outcomes later in life. Evidence for a moderation effect in the BCS70 but not ALSPAC suggests that more detailed measures should be investigated to capture the nuance of contemporary young …

  • Adolescent multiple risk behaviours cluster by number of risks rather than distinct risk profiles in the ALSPAC cohort

    Open AccessCaroline Wright, Jon Heron et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    Clusters of adolescents were not characterised by distinct risk behaviour profiles, and provide no additional insight for intervention strategies. Given this is a more complicated, software-specific method, we conclude that an equally effective, but more readily replicable approach is to use a count of the number of risk behaviours

  • Alcohol consumption and internalising disorders in young adults of ALSPAC

    Open AccessGwen Sascha Fernandes, Gemma Lewis et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2020Citada por: 1Referências: 38

    Introduction Depression and harmful alcohol consumption contribute significantly to the global health burden, but in young adults, this relationship is under-researched and conflicted. The aim of this study was to determine the sex-based prevalence and the association between internalising disorders such as depression and alcohol use disorders. Method Using the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children, we assessed the sex-specific prevalen…

  • The proportion of missing data should not be used to guide decisions on multiple imputation

    Open AccessPaul Madley‐Dowd, Rachael Hughes et al.ARTICLEJournal of Clinical Epidemiology2019

    OBJECTIVES: Researchers are concerned whether multiple imputation (MI) or complete case analysis should be used when a large proportion of data are missing. We aimed to provide guidance for drawing conclusions from data with a large proportion of missingness. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: Via simulations, we investigated how the proportion of missing data, the fraction of missing information (FMI), and availability of auxiliary variables affected MI …

  • Predictors of future suicide attempt among adolescents with suicidal thoughts or non-suicidal self-harm

    Open AccessBecky Mars, Jon Heron et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet Psychiatry2019

    BACKGROUND: Suicidal thoughts and non-suicidal self-harm are common in adolescents and are strongly associated with suicide attempts. We aimed to identify predictors of future suicide attempts in these high-risk groups. METHODS: Participants were from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children, a population-based birth cohort study in the UK. The sample included 456 adolescents who reported suicidal thoughts and 569 who reported non-suic…

  • Accounting for missing data in statistical analyses

    Open AccessRachael A Hughes, Jon Heron et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2019

    BACKGROUND: Missing data are unavoidable in epidemiological research, potentially leading to bias and loss of precision. Multiple imputation (MI) is widely advocated as an improvement over complete case analysis (CCA). However, contrary to widespread belief, CCA is preferable to MI in some situations. METHODS: We provide guidance on choice of analysis when data are incomplete. Using causal diagrams to depict missingness mechanisms, we describe wh…

  • The Independent and Cumulative Effects of Sibling and Peer Bullying in Childhood on Depression, Anxiety, Suicidal Ideation, and Self-Harm in Adulthood

    Open AccessSlava Dantchev, Matthew Hickman et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2019

    Sibling and peer bullying are reported as the most frequent forms of violence experienced across childhood. There is now ample evidence indicating an association between sibling and peer bullying, with those reporting sibling bullying at an increased risk of peer bullying. While there is convincing evidence of a causative association between peer bullying and a range of mental health outcomes, sibling bullying continues to receive far less attent…

  • Identifying Critical Points of Trajectories of Depressive Symptoms from Childhood to Young Adulthood

    Open AccessAlex S F Kwong, David Manley et al.ARTICLEJournal of Youth and Adolescence2019Citada por: 13Referências: 47

    Depression is a common mental illness and research has focused on late childhood and adolescence in an attempt to prevent or reduce later psychopathology and/or social impairments. It is important to establish and study population-averaged trajectories of depressive symptoms across adolescence as this could characterise specific changes in populations and help identify critical points to intervene with treatment. Multilevel growth-curve models we…
