Improving mental health referral readiness among providers encountering children from migrant backgrounds
Introduction Children from migrant backgrounds access mental health services to a lower extent than the majority population. Referrals from external providers are a potentially important route to care for these children. We evaluated a digitally delivered training program designed to strengthen referral readiness among providers working in community services, health care services and non-profit organizations in a Swedish municipality. Participant…
A detailed investigation of anxiety disorders in children of clinically anxious parents
BACKGROUND: We assessed the risk of anxiety disorders in children of clinically anxious parents, focusing on the influence of parent and child sex, parental care level, depressive comorbidity, and anxiety subtype, while controlling for socioeconomic factors and other parental psychiatric conditions. METHODS: We conducted a population-based study utilizing comprehensive healthcare data. A cohort of children (N = 516,134), born in 1998-2015 and res…
More or less equal? Trends in horizontal equity in mental health care utilization in Stockholm county, Sweden (2006–2022). Repeated survey-registry linked studies
Differential impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on primary care utilization related to common mental disorders in four European countries
Common mental disorders prevalence in primary care decreased during the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic in all countries except from Latvia, but normalized in Norway and Netherlands by the latter half of 2020. The onset of the pandemic and the containment strategies were highly correlated within each country, limiting strong conclusions on whether restriction policy had any effects on mental health. Specifically, we found no evidence of as…
Maternal Levels of Cytokines in Early Pregnancy and Risk of Autism Spectrum Disorders in Offspring
Previous studies indicate a role of immune disturbances during early development in the etiology of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Any potential disturbances during fetal development are best addressed by prospective evaluation of maternal markers of inflammation. Previous studies have investigated maternal cytokines, a group of powerful effectors of the immune system, with inconsistent results. In this study, we aimed to clarify the relationsh…
Psychiatric care use among migrants to Sweden compared with Swedish-born residents
BACKGROUND: To investigate differences in psychiatric care use over time between Swedish born and those born abroad who migrate to Sweden. METHODS: Population-based cohort study analysing linked population and health registers, following individuals born 1944-1990 from 1 January 2005 to 31 December 2016. Time-stratified survival analysis using Cox regression estimated time to psychiatric care use. Population included 5 150 753 individuals with 78…
The Association Between Preeclampsia and Childhood Development and Behavioural Outcomes
Risk of non-affective psychotic disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder by refugee status in Sweden
Background Refugees have different experiences of obtaining a refugee status, however it remains unclear if this affects their risk of psychiatric disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate whether risk for non-affective psychotic disorder (NAPD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) differs between quota refugees (resettled from refugee camps) and non-quota refugees (former asylum seekers). Method A register-based cohort with a samp…
Has the association between low school performance and the risk of disability benefit due to mental disorders become stronger over time
The association between low school performance and the risk of disability benefits due to mental disorders seems to become stronger during the first decade of the twenty-first century. It is plausible that this trend indicates an increased vulnerability of poor school performers to exclusion from the labor market. Prevention of school failure and adjustment of the labour market to individual variability in academic performance appear to be critic…
Childhood household dysfunction, school performance and psychiatric care utilisation in young adults
BACKGROUND: Exposure to childhood household dysfunction increases the risk of psychiatric morbidity. Although school performance also has been linked with psychiatric morbidity, limited research has considered school performance as a mediating factor. To address this gap in the literature, the current register study examined whether school performance mediates the association between childhood household dysfunction (experienced between birth and …
Self-reported suicide ideation and attempts, and medical care for intentional self-harm in lesbians, gays and bisexuals in Sweden
BACKGROUND: Minority sexual orientation is a robust risk indicator for self-reported suicidal ideation and attempts. However, little is known about patterns of medical care for intentional self-harm in this vulnerable population. We investigate sexual orientation-related differences in self-reported lifetime suicide symptoms and medical care for intentional self-harm between 1969 and 2010, including age at initial treatment and recurrence. METHOD…
Preconception Maternal Bereavement and Infant and Childhood Mortality
OBJECTIVES: Preconception maternal bereavement may be associated with an increased risk for infant mortality, although these previously reported findings have not been replicated. We sought to examine if the association could be replicated and explore if risk extended into childhood. METHODS: Using a Danish population-based sample of offspring born 1979 to 2009 (N = 1,865,454), we analyzed neonatal (0-28 days), postneonatal infant (29-364 days), …
Risk of new psychiatric episodes in the year following divorce in midlife
AIMS: To examine if divorce is associated with an increased risk of psychiatric disorder. METHODS: A register-based cohort study of all married or divorced individuals aged 45-54 in Sweden in 2006. After exclusion of 129,669 individuals with a history of psychiatric care in 1987-2005, we followed 703,960 persons for psychiatric disorder during 2007, measured as psychiatric inpatient care, outpatient care and use of psychotropic medication. Marita…
Prenatal Stress and Risk of Asthma Hospitalization in the Offspring
OBJECTIVE: Recent research suggested that maternal stress and anxiety increase the risk of asthma and eczema in the offspring. In this study, we aimed to study whether maternal exposure to death of a spouse or a child is associated with risk of asthma hospitalization in the offspring using a very large population-based cohort. METHODS: In a cohort of 3.2 million births in Sweden between January 1, 1973, and December 31, 2004, mothers were conside…
