The current study aimed to examine sleep characteristics and insomnia in a population with maltreatment history and compare them to a general population sample of adolescents.

  • How do Norwegian adolescents experience the role of social media in relation to mental health and well-being

    Open AccessGunnhild Johnsen Hjetland, Viktor Schønning et al.ARTICLEBMC Psychology2021

    Introduction: Social media has become an integrated part of daily life, with an estimated 3 billion social media users worldwide. Adolescents and young adults are the most active users of social media.

The current body of knowledge on this theme is complex and difficult-to-f…

  • A Critical Perspective on Mental Health News in Six European Countries

    Open AccessLaura Van Beveren, Kris Rutten et al.ARTICLEQualitative Health Research2020

    In this study, we aim to contribute to the field of critical health communication research by examining how notions of mental health and illness are discursively constructed in newspapers and magazines in six European countries and how these constructions relate to specific understandings of mental health literacy. Using the method of cluster-agon analysis, we identified four terminological clusters in our data, in which mental health/illness is …
