Scoping review of precision child and youth mental health research
Our findings indicate that this body of research is still in its infancy. We highlight opportunities to advance the study of PCYMH and provide recommendations to support the maturation of this new field
Emotional coping strategies in children with and without special educational needs during the Covid-19 pandemic in Saudi Arabia
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted children's daily lives, especially those of children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). This study aimed to compare the coping strategies of children with SEND to those of typically developing (TD) peers, as reported by their parents, and to identify the factors associated with coping efficacy early during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methodology: We conducted a nationwide…
Sleep architecture and emotional inhibition processing in adolescents hospitalized during a suicidal crisis
Altered sleep in adolescents with depression who are in a suicidal crisisis associated with behavioral inhibition difficulties and fewer neural resources mobilized by inhibitory processes in emotionally charged contexts. This highlights the importance of addressing sleep disturbances while managing suicidal crises in adolescents
Attentional Bias Deficits in Adolescent Suicide Attempters During an Emotional Stroop Task
There is increasing evidence that, in adolescence, attentional bias plays a critical role in the vulnerability for suicidal behaviour. No studies to date have investigated the neurophysiological correlates of attentional bias in adolescent suicidality. The present study uses event-related potentials (ERPs) to investigate such processing in inpatient adolescents admitted for an acute suicide crisis using an Emotional Stroop Task (EST). In this tas…
Event-Related Potential Measures of Attention Capture in Adolescent Inpatients With Acute Suicidal Behavior
Impaired executive functions, modulated by the frontal lobes, have been suggested to be associated with suicidal behavior. The present study examines one of these executive functions, attentional control, maintaining attention to the task-at-hand. A group of inpatient adolescents with acute suicidal behavior and healthy controls were studied using a passively presented auditory optimal paradigm. This "optimal" paradigm consisted of a series of fr…
