Identifying age 26 as a threshold in psychosocial risks associated with child maltreatment among first-time mothers
Background Early pregnancy is associated with increased psychosocial vulnerability, which has been linked to factors associated with child maltreatment. However, previous research has predominantly focused on teenagers, and little is known about whether first-time mothers in their early-to-mid twenties also exhibit elevated psychosocial risks. This observational cross-sectional study aimed to determine whether psychosocial risk factors associated…
Loneliness patterns across time and subsequent risk of psychotic experiences, depression, anxiety, and diminished well‐being in adolescents
BACKGROUND: Evidence on the association between loneliness and psychotic experiences in adolescents remains limited. Moreover, loneliness has typically been assessed at a single time point, which fails to capture its dynamic nature. We hypothesized that persistent loneliness, assessed across repeated measures, would be associated with psychotic experiences and other mental health problems. METHODS: Using longitudinal data from 3,171 participants …
Association between mobility decline and health literacy in older Japanese adults
Decline in mobility is a global issue that must be addressed in rapidly aging societies. We aimed to clarify the association between locomotive syndrome (LS), a condition of decreased mobility and health literacy (HL) in community-dwelling Japanese adults aged ≥ 40 years. A descriptive survey was conducted in Onjuku Town, Japan, between 2019 and 2023. The participants performed LS risk tests, including the two-step test, stand-up tests and 25-que…
Longitudinal associations between informal caring, social network, and psychological distress among adolescents and young adults
Increased psychological distress and social network preceded the onset of informal caring among young persons. Incorporating psychological distress assessment may benefit the early identification of and support for young carers. The long-term interplay between social networking and informal caring needs further clarification
Adolescent psychotic experiences before and during the Covid ‐19 pandemic
BACKGROUND: Understanding the etiology of psychosis is essential to the development of preventive interventions. The COVID-19 pandemic provides a rare natural experiment that can expand our understanding of the role of social factors in the trajectories and etiology of psychosis across adolescence, particularly in Tokyo where the prevalence of actual COVID-19 infection remained low. We hypothesized that the likelihood of self-reporting psychotic …
A survey of mental health literacy in parents and guardians of teenagers
Many teenagers' caregivers appeared to be willing to help the teens in their care if they were suffering from mental health problems. However, there was much room for improvement in knowledge on mental health/illnesses and intention to seek help from medical professionals. Efforts toward better education should be made
A Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluating the Effectiveness of a Short Video-Based Educational Program for Improving Mental Health Literacy Among Schoolteachers
Background: Mental illness-related stigma represents a barrier to seeking and receiving appropriate mental health care. Mental health literacy (MHL) can improve mental health knowledge, decrease stigmatizing attitudes, and enhance help-seeking behavior. Starting from 2022, mental illness-related education is due to be introduced in high schools in Japan. For this current situation, we conducted a parallel group, randomized controlled trial to exa…
A quasi‐cluster randomized controlled trial of a classroom‐based mental health literacy educational intervention to promote knowledge and help‐seeking/helping behavior in adolescents
INTRODUCTION: School-based education is a potentially effective approach for improving mental health literacy (MHL) in adolescents. This study evaluated the effects of the "Short MHL Program (SMHLP)", a brief (50 min), school teacher-led program, on MHL in adolescents in a quasi-cluster randomized controlled trial. METHODS: A total of 975 high school first graders (age 15-16) in Japan were allocated to classes such that gender and academic achiev…
Administrative Labor Migration Program from Okinawa to "Mainland" Japan as a Foreign Country during the United States Civil Administration of the Ryukyu Islands
"Shudan-shushoku", the administrative young workers' labor migration program, was carried out under the control of the Japanese Ministry of Labor in the high-growth period of Japan (1955-1973). This system was also applied to Okinawa (Ryukyu), although Okinawa was ruled by the United States Civil Administration of the Ryukyu Islands (USCAR) until 1972. The Government of Japan had "residual sovereignty" over Okinawa and was able to include it in t…
A 5-Year Retrospective Examination of Cognitive Screening Test Stages in Normal Older Adults and Patients With Alzheimer's Disease
One conception of aging and cognitive deterioration is that cognitive decline becomes common with age, and dementia may be regarded as one extreme of the continuum. An alternative conception is that the cognitive process is spared by the aging process itself and that cognitive functioning of normal older adults and those with slight cognitive impairment, a CDR (Clinical Dementia Rating) score of 0.5 (suspected dementia), should be different. We e…
