Unique associations between strategies of coping with Covid-19-related stress and internalizing symptoms in a clinical sample of adolescents
Youth internalizing symptoms increased significantly during COVID-19, suggesting a need for more knowledge on how to prevent youth mental health problems during future widespread societal health crises. This cross-sectional study examined coping strategies and how these were associated with internalizing problems in a clinical sample of youth during COVID-19. Youth (13–19 years) referred to mental health treatment for internalizing problems were …
Patterns of sub‐optimal change following CBT for childhood anxiety
BACKGROUND: Children and adolescents demonstrate diverse patterns of symptom change and disorder remission following cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for anxiety disorders. To better understand children who respond sub-optimally to CBT, this study investigated youths (N = 1,483) who continued to meet criteria for one or more clinical anxiety diagnosis immediately following treatment or at any point during the 12 months following treatment. MET…
Experiences From Treatment for Anxiety and Depression Among Youth in Foster Care: A Qualitative Study
Youth in foster care are at high risk of internalizing problems. However, research is scarce regarding their experiences of mental health treatment. This knowledge is important if mental health services are to meet their needs. Through qualitative interviews, we explored the experiences of youth in foster care ( N = 9, aged 16–18 years) having been treated for anxiety and depression. Systematic text condensation was used to analyse the transcribe…
Parental Early Life Maltreatment and Related Experiences in Treatment of Youth Anxiety Disorder
The role of parents' early life maltreatment (ELM) (e.g. physical, sexual abuse) and related experiences, in relation to offspring anxiety is not well understood. The current study investigated the association between self-reported depression and ELM and related experiences in mothers (n = 79) and fathers (n = 50), and mother-, father-, and youth-reported symptoms of youth anxiety (n = 90). Outcomes were assessed at pre,- and posttreatment and 3-…
Dialogue Based Early Detection—Development of a Novel Approach for Detection of Mental Health Problems Among Children in Daycare Centers
The Dialogue Based Early Detection method was endorsed by both teachers and parents and holds promise as a tool for improving early awareness and identification of developmental and mental health problems of preschool children in daycare centers
Research Review: Recommendations for reporting on treatment trials for child and adolescent anxiety disorders – an international consensus statement
Background: Anxiety disorders in children and young people are common and bring significant personal and societal costs. Over the last two decades, there has been a substantial increase in research evaluating psychological and pharmacological treatments for anxiety disorders in children and young people and exciting and novel research has continued as the field strives to improve efficacy and effectiveness, and accessibility of interventions. Thi…
Internalizing Symptom Profiles Among Youth in Foster Care: A Comparison Study
Background: A high prevalence of anxiety and depression is found among youth in foster care. There is limited knowledge on the anxiety and depression symptom profiles of youth in foster care. We examined latent profiles of anxiety and depression symptoms across three unique youth samples and whether youth in foster care were more or less likely to belong to specific symptom profiles than their peers recruited from clinical or general youth popula…
Internalizing Symptoms Among Youth in Foster Care: Prevalence and Associations with Exposure to Maltreatment
Among youth in foster care (N = 303, aged 11-17 years), we investigated prevalence of internalizing symptoms; associations between symptom level and maltreatment types and numbers; and the interaction between gender and maltreatment, on internalizing symptoms. Youth completed Spence Children Anxiety Scale, Short Mood Feelings Questionnaire, and Child and Adolescent Trauma Screen. Compared to community samples, symptom levels above clinical cut-of…
Negative Life Events, Social Support, and Self-Efficacy in Anxious Adolescents
The high prevalence of anxiety in adolescents demonstrates the importance of improved prevention interventions targeting anxious adolescents. We argue that addressing is the responsibility of not only the individual adolescents and their families but also schools, school health services, and policy makers. School-based interventions that increase social support and self-efficacy would probably be particularly beneficial for anxious adolescents
