The association between disability, school achievement expectations, self‐efficacy and psychosomatic problems among Swedish adolescents attending compulsory regular school
The purpose was to investigate the association between disability, and psychosomatic problems among adolescents at compulsory regular school also taking into account parental and student achievement expectations and student self‐efficacy. We analysed cross‐sectional questionnaire data collected in 2010, from 2004 Swedish adolescents. The results showed that the degree of psychosomatic problems and self‐efficacy varied with regard to whether the a…
Classroom Disorder and Internalizing Problems Among Swedish Adolescents
BACKGROUND: Internalizing problems have increased among Swedish adolescents. We examined whether classroom disorder was associated with internalizing problems and whether it explained the trends in internalizing problems. Furthermore, we examined whether school contextual factors were associated with internalizing problems and whether they moderated the association between classroom disorder and internalizing problems. METHODS: We used repeated c…
Leisure time physical activity and depressive symptoms among adolescents in Sweden
The findings of this study suggested that participation in physical activity regularly during leisure time was associated with a lower level of depressive symptoms among adolescents in Sweden. Because of the cross-sectional study design conclusions about causality cannot be drawn. Future research based on longitudinal data is needed to further explore the mechanisms behind the association. This study calls for recognition of the value of physical…
The association of self-reported schoolwork pressure, family factors and self-efficacy with psychosomatic problems
The purpose of this study was to investigate the associations between self-reported schoolwork pressure and family factors with psychosomatic problems, and to investigate possible moderators of these associations. We examined self-efficacy as a personal resource that may be directly associated with psychosomatic problems, as well as serve as a moderator between stress exposure and psychosomatic problems. Furthermore, we examined sex as a possible…
Gender and secular trends in adolescent mental health over 24 years - The role of school-related stress
Increasing levels of psychosomatic symptoms, and other mental health problems, among adolescents, and especially among girls, have been reported across various countries. The "educational stressors hypothesis" states that this trend can be explained by an increasing amount of stressors in the school environment. This study tests this hypothesis, using repeated cross-sectional data, between the years 1993-2017, from the Health Behaviours of School…
Mental Health Problems Among Adolescents in Sweden from 1995 to 2011
We compared the mental health of native and immigrant adolescents in Sweden from 1995 to 2011 and examined whether the municipality-level proportion of immigrant adolescents moderated the association between individual-level immigrant status and mental health. The sample (14,189 adolescents aged 15-16) was obtained from a repeated cross-sectional study conducted from 1995 to 2011. Adolescent self-report data (gender, immigrant status, economic si…
Mental health problems among economically disadvantaged adolescents in an increasingly unequal society
Increasing inequality in many societies highlights the importance of paying attention to differences in mental health between the economically disadvantaged adolescents and the non-disadvantaged adolescents. Also important is to understand how changing inequality in society over time influences adolescents' mental health at the population- and individual-level. The current study examined to what extent increased societal-level income inequality o…
The association between physical activity and symptoms of depression in different contexts – a cross-sectional study of Norwegian adolescents
Physical activity in a sports club was associated with significantly lower odds for symptoms of depression, suggesting a possible role for social interaction in addition to physical activity per se. It is important, therefore, to consider in which types of contexts physical activities take place, not only focusing on physical activity frequency and volume when investigating the association between adolescents' physical activity and mental health.…
Trends in adolescent mental health during economic upturns and downturns
Background A long-term trend of increasing mental health problems among adolescents in many Western countries indicates a great need to investigate if and how societal changes have contributed to the reported increase. Using seven waves of repeated cross-sectional data collected between 1988 and 2008 in Sweden, the current study examined if economic factors at the societal level (municipality unemployment rate) and at the individual level (worry …
Differential Item Functioning in Trend Analyses of Adolescent Mental Health – Illustrative Examples Using HBSC-Data from Finland
Does the Strength of the Association Between Peer Victimization and Psychosomatic Health Problems Depend on Whether Bullying or Peer Aggression is Measured
Real and Artificial Differential Item Functioning in Polytomous Items
Differential item functioning (DIF) for an item between two groups is present if, for the same person location on a variable, persons from different groups have different expected values for their responses. Applying only to dichotomously scored items in the popular Mantel–Haenszel (MH) method for detecting DIF in which persons are classified by their total scores on an instrument, Andrich and Hagquist articulated the concept of artificial DIF an…
The Psychometric Properties of the Early Development Instrument
Reliability, construct and criterion validity of the KIDSCREEN-10 score
Our results indicate that the KIDSCREEN-10 provides a valid measure of a general HRQoL factor in children and adolescents, but the instrument does not represent well most of the single dimensions of the original KIDSCREEN-52. Test-retest reliability was slightly below a priori defined thresholds

KIDSCREEN-52 quality-of-life measure for children and adolescents
This study describes the development and reports the first psychometric results of the European KIDSCREEN-52 generic health-related quality-of-life questionnaire for children and adolescents. The KIDSCREEN-52, including ten dimensions, was applied in a European survey involving 12 countries (i.e., Austria, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Spain, France, Hungary, The Netherlands, Poland, Sweden and the UK) and 22,110 children and adol…
Measuring subjective health among adolescents in Sweden
Suicide and mental health problems among Swedish youth in the wake of the 1990s recession
The purpose of this explorative study is to bring together a variety of Swedish data sources with indicators of youth mental health and living conditions in order to illuminate trends during the last decades, elucidate possible determinants of mental ill health and develop hypotheses to explain the observed trend patterns. The analyses in the study reveal some surprising inconsistencies with respect to the mental health trends among young people …
Socioeconomic Differences in Smoking Behaviour Among Adolescents
This article explores the issue of socioeconomic differences in adolescents' smoking behaviour, using academic orientation as an indication of social position. The article is based on questionnaire data collected in 1995 from 2426 pupils in the ninth grade in a county in Sweden. The results indicate that students who have applied for non-theoretical programmes in upper secondary school are more likely to smoke than students who have applied for t…
Financial Hardship and Shame
Young unemployed people in six local communities in Sweden were interviewed to test the assumption that variations in the social and health effects of unemployment could be seen as a function of financial hardship and of experiences of shame. The results indicate that there seems to be a link between the health and social effects of unemployment, on the one hand, and the degree of financial hardship and the number of shaming experiences on the ot…
