Activating Hope across Life Circumstances in the Face of Adversity
Displacement as a predictor of functional impairment in tsunami-exposed children
Thirty months after the Indian Ocean tsunami of 26 December 2004, thousands of families in Aceh Province, Indonesia, remained in temporary barracks while sanitation conditions and non-governmental organisation support deteriorated. This study sought to determine the factors associated with functional impairment in a sample of 138 displaced and non-displaced Acehnese children. Using multivariate linear regression models, it was found that displace…
The living environment and children's fears following the Indonesian tsunami
The tsunami that struck South-east Asia on 26 December 2004 left more than 500,000 people in Aceh, Indonesia, homeless and displaced to temporary barracks and other communities. This study examines the associations between prolonged habitation in barracks and the nature of fears reported by school-age children and adolescents. In mid-2007, 30 months after the tsunami, the authors interviewed 155 child and parent dyads. Logistic regression analysi…
Child and adolescent mental health worldwide
Nature, prevalence and determinants of common mental health problems and their management in primary health care
Child and adolescent mental disorders
Objective: Describe objectively the global gaps in policy, data gathering capacity, and resources to develop and implement services to support child mental health. Methods: Report on the World health Organization (WHO) child and adolescent mental health resources Atlas project. The Atlas project utilized key informants and was supplemented by studies that focused on policy. This report also draws on current epidemiological studies to provide a co…
Children and the Sphere standard on mental and social aspects of health
Most of the world's children live in resource-poor countries where people are at a relatively high risk of exposure to catastrophic situations arising from conflict and natural disasters.6Given the potential social, psychological and psychiatric consequences of exposure to disaster, mental health and psychosocial support programmes are increasingly part of humanitarian aid. A minimum standard on mental and social aspects of health is included in …
Completed Suicide and Psychiatric Diagnoses in Young People
Suicide rates of young people are increasing in many geographic areas. There is a need to recognize more precisely the role of specific mental disorders and their comparative importance for understanding suicide and its prevention. The authors reviewed the published English-language research, where psychiatric diagnoses that met diagnostic criteria were reported, to reexamine the presence and distribution of mental disorders in cases of completed…
Correcting the record
Substance abuse with psychiatric illness in children and adolescents
Substance abuse with psychiatric illness is commonly referred to as comorbidity, a term that lacks the specificity needed to further precision in research and clinical treatment, both of which are particularly important when dealing with children and adolescents. A review of the literature on this dual disorder in young people is followed by a discussion of diagnostic and treatment considerations and their implications for researchers and clinica…
Clinical assessments and maternal judgments
Mothers and clinicians, both of whom play key roles in securing mental health services for children, have been found to differ in their ratings of children's adjustment. While this finding is confirmed by the present study, ratings made by social workers based on a structured interview with mothers prior to their children's kindergarten entry indicate a number of significant relationships with measures of children's school and behavioral adjustme…
Emotional Behavior in the Rat as a Function of Maternal Emotionality
Current interest in the effects of early experiences on behavior has prompted this note reporting differences in emotionality in rats as a function of differences in emotionality of their mothers. Method.-Ss were the 31 offspring from the litters of the three most emotional, and the 25 offspring from the litters of the three least emotional, of 11 Long-Evans primiparous females. These were control animals of a different smdy in which emotionality…
