Defense mechanisms and childhood abuse potential in pregnant mothers
Same, opposite and both-sex attracted adolescents’ mental health, safe-sex practices and substance use
This study examined mental health, substance use, and sexual health across sexual attraction groups. 428 adolescents recruited from school-based health centers completed self-report measures. 72% were only opposite-sex attracted, 19% both-sex attracted, 3% same-sex attracted, 4% not sure. Reported partners did not always align with reported attraction. Compared to opposite-sex attracted youth, 1) both-sex attracted youth had significantly higher …
Too Unsavoury for Our Fastidious Tastes’
Focusing on the establishment of maternity care services predominantly for young, working-class white and coloured unmarried mothers, this article examines social and institutional responses to and changing conceptions of single motherhood and illegitimacy in early to mid-twentieth-century Cape Town, then one of the country’s largest and most well-established urban centres. It suggests that despite growing organisational support for the plight of…

In its refusal of traditional goals of authorship, namely completion and publishing, Barnes’ late work betrays the…

METHODS: The PHQ-9 was completed by 442 youth (aged 13-17 years) who were enrolled in a large health care-delivery system and participated in a study on depression outcomes. Criterion validity and performance characteristics were assessed against a…
Quality of Mental Health Care for Youth With Asthma and Comorbid Anxiety and Depression
OBJECTIVES: Youth with asthma have a high rate of anxiety and depressive disorders, and these comorbid disorders are associated with increased asthma symptom burden and functional impairment. This study examined the rates and predictors of recognition of anxiety and depressive disorders among youth (ages 11 to 17) with asthma who are seen in primary care settings as well as the quality of mental health care provided to those with comorbid anxiety…
The Relationship of Asthma and Anxiety Disorders
Objective: This article reviewed the child and adult medical literature on the prevalence of comorbid anxiety disorders in patients with asthma. Theoretical ideas regarding the relatively high comorbidity rates are presented along with a model describing putative interactions between anxiety disorders and asthma. Method: A search of the literature from the last 2 decades using MEDLINE by pairing the word, “asthma,” with the following words: “anxi…
