A qualitative study examining household context and parental perspectives on preschoolers’ digital media use guidelines
Evidence suggests that the uptake of pediatric guidelines for screen use is generally low, which highlights a need to better understand the familial factors shaping children’s digital media use. This study aimed to explore parents’ perspectives regarding digital media use guidelines, including the factors that influence adherence to recommendations. Semi-structured interviews with 28 parents of young children were analyzed using thematic analysis…
Advancing understanding of the role of the family media ecology on child anxiety and depression in middle childhood
Feasibility and Acceptability of a Classroom-Based Mental Health Literacy Program
Given the escalating concern surrounding mental health issues among school-age children, this study evaluated the benefits, feasibility, and acceptability of the Open Parachute mental health literacy program, designed to foster mental health skills through classroom instruction. This study asked 37 Australian educators, spanning primary to secondary school, to report on their experiences with the Open Parachute program. 50 percent of participants…
Exploring the Impact of Bullying and Friendship on Mental Health Outcomes Among Transgender, Gender Diverse (TGD), and Cisgender Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual (LGB+) Youth
Prejudice and discrimination put 2SLGBTQ+ youth at greater risk of developing poor mental health outcomes. Yet there is heterogeneity within this group, notably a greater risk for poor mental health outcomes in trans and gender diverse (TGD) youth. The goal of this study was to determine if the relationship between bullying and mental health outcomes, and the potential protective influence of peer friendship, differed between cisgender lesbian, g…
Changes in Depression and Anxiety Among Children and Adolescents From Before to During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Importance There is a growing body of high-quality cohort-based research that has examined changes in child and adolescent mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic vs before the pandemic. Some studies have found that child and adolescent depression and anxiety symptoms have increased, while others have found these symptoms to have remained stable or decreased. Objective To synthesize the available longitudinal cohort-based research evidence to …
Global Prevalence of Depressive and Anxiety Symptoms in Children and Adolescents During Covid-19
Importance: Emerging research suggests that the global prevalence of child and adolescent mental illness has increased considerably during COVID-19. However, substantial variability in prevalence rates have been reported across the literature. Objective: To ascertain more precise estimates of the global prevalence of child and adolescent clinically elevated depression and anxiety symptoms during COVID-19; to compare these rates with prepandemic e…
Maternal depressive and anxiety symptoms before and during the Covid-19 pandemic in Canada
Bidirectional associations between screen time and children’s externalizing and internalizing behaviors
BACKGROUND: While it has been purported that excessive screen time can lead to behavioral problems, it has also been suggested that children with behavioral dysregulation receive more access to screens to manage problematic behavior. In this study, both temporally stable and longitudinal associations between screen time and externalizing and internalizing behaviors across childhood are examined to directly address this issue of directionality. ME…
Cross-Sectional Study Protocol for the Covid-19 Impact Survey of Mothers and Their 7–11 Year Old Children in Alberta, Canada
Objectives: Our aim is to understand the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on families who have been followed longitudinally in two cohorts studied in Alberta, Canada. We will examine household infections during the COVID-19 pandemic, financial impact, domestic violence, substance use, child school and daily life and relationships in the home. We will identify risk and protective factors for maternal mental health outcomes using longitudinal data t…
Linking Maternal Depression to Adolescent Internalizing Symptoms
Tweens are not teens
Child and adolescent mental illness during Covid-19
Associations Between Screen Use and Child Language Skills
Importance: There is considerable public and scientific debate as to whether screen use helps or hinders early child development, particularly the development of language skills. Objective: To examine via meta-analyses the associations between quantity (duration of screen time and background television), quality (educational programming and co-viewing), and onset of screen use and children's language skills. Data Sources: Searches were conducted …
Trajectories of screen use during early childhood
Reward Sensitivity, Cognitive Response Style, and Inflammatory Response to an Acute Stressor in Adolescents
A Longitudinal Investigation of Cognitive Self-schemas across Adolescent Development
Emotional clarity development and psychosocial outcomes during adolescence
Past research on emotional clarity (EC), the ability to identify and label one's own emotions, has illustrated an association between EC deficits and poor psychosocial outcomes during the adolescent years. Although past research has connected EC to psychosocial outcomes during adolescence in cross-sectional and longitudinal designs, no studies have traced the trajectory of EC over time to determine the developmental course of the construct during…
