Parenting After Child Maltreatment
Parenting practices and the parent-child relationship play a crucial role in child development. Families affected by child maltreatment may experience poor parent-child relationships and negative parenting practices. Research on parenting where both mothers and children have experienced maltreatment is limited. This study aims to investigate the parent-child relationship and parenting strategies among mothers (N = 228) of children (5–11 years) wi…
Lifetime prevalence of mental disorders and the costs for civic engagement among college and university students
The high prevalence of mental disorders has become a globally pervasive social issue resulting in its placement as among one of the leading causes of the global burden of disease. Noteworthy, prevalence estimates of college and university students affected by mental disorders are, in particular, exceedingly high. This may have important consequences for early habit formation of civic engagement given the developmental period (e.g., first time eli…
How and when screens are used
The present study found that increased screen time in bed is linked to poorer sleep, across activity type. Future research should refine classifications, assess specific content, and employ experimental approaches to determine causal mechanisms
The relationship between online communication and mental health and cardiorespiratory fitness from ages 15 to 17
This study underscores the potential negative effects of online communication on mental and physical health among adolescents, regardless of sex or SES. The findings highlight the importance of balancing time spent online communicating with physical activity to support overall adolescent well-being. These insights could inform public health initiatives and preventive strategies to foster healthier digital habits in an increasingly online world, e…
The relationship between sleep duration and physical activity level among Norwegian adolescents
Background Failure to adhere to sleep and physical activity recommendations among adolescents constitutes a public health problem. However, the associations between sleep duration and adolescents’ physical activity levels remain less explored. The aims of this paper were twofold: (1) to describe sleep and physical activity levels among Norwegian school-based adolescents, stratified by school level and sex and (2) to explore the association betwee…
Unique associations between strategies of coping with Covid-19-related stress and internalizing symptoms in a clinical sample of adolescents
Youth internalizing symptoms increased significantly during COVID-19, suggesting a need for more knowledge on how to prevent youth mental health problems during future widespread societal health crises. This cross-sectional study examined coping strategies and how these were associated with internalizing problems in a clinical sample of youth during COVID-19. Youth (13–19 years) referred to mental health treatment for internalizing problems were …
Sleep and childhood maltreatment
Sleep problems are an important but understudied health problem in adolescents exposed to childhood maltreatment. 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. Data from a sample of Norwegian 16–19‐year‐old adolescents with childhood maltreatment experiences ( n = 62) were linked to an age‐ and sex‐matched general popu…
Academic Performance, Health and Support Needs
The completion rates of higher education are low among young adults with a history of foster care. Understanding how students from foster care alumni fare is imperative for facilitating attainment and preventing drop-out. The aim of this study was to compare students from foster care alumni and the general student population by examining (1) sociodemographic characteristics, academic functioning and need for special assistance; (2) contextual fac…
Associations Between Distinct Trauma Classes and Mental Health Care Utilization in Norwegian Adolescents
Adolescents who experience potentially traumatic experiences (PTEs) have an increased risk of psychopathology. PTEs often co-occur and may form interrelated patterns of exposure. This study investigated underlying classes of PTE exposure among Norwegian adolescent participants in the youth@hordaland study, and whether such classes were associated with contact with child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) and psychiatric diagnoses. The …
Mental health, negative life events and resilience among adolescents in contact with the child welfare services
Negative Life Events, Protective Factors, and Substance-Related Problems
Background There is compelling evidence for an association between negative life events (NLE) and substance-related problems (SRP) during adolescence. The literature is, however, still limited with regards to protective factors for SRP among adolescents exposed to NLE.Methods A large population-based survey including 9,611 Norwegian adolescents aged 16 to 19 years, comprised the dataset of this study. The main explanatory variable was NLE. The ma…
Does It Matter Who You Provide Care for? Mental Health and Life Satisfaction in Young Adult Carers Associated with Type of Relationship and Illness Category—A National Student Survey
There is limited knowledge on how caring contexts impact young adults providing informal care for persons with chronic conditions. This study examines associations between outcomes in young adult carers (YACs) and type of relationship (e.g., close or distant family member, partner, or someone outside the family) and type of illness in the care-receiver (e.g., mental, physical illness/disability, or substance abuse). A total of 37,731 students (ag…
Parental separation, negative life events and mental health problems in adolescence
Higher exposure to negative life events explains parts of the association between parental separation and mental health problems in adolescence. However, a parental separation does not seem to increase the vulnerability of the effects of negative life events on adolescents' mental health. Assessing exposure to negative life events is important when providing mental health services to adolescents, particularly to those who have parents separated
Impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on daily life and worry among mothers in Bhaktapur, Nepal

We included 493 mothers of children aged 54–71 months participating in a randomized controlled trial on vitamin B12 supplementation. Mothers answered questions regarding the exposure a…
Sleep in adolescence
Objectives To investigate associations between family structure, family complexity, and sleep in adolescence. Background Family structure may be associated with sleep patterns and sleep problems among adolescents. Yet, research documenting this association has not captured the complexity of modern families and used crude measures of sleep. Method The youth@hordaland study ( N = 8833) of adolescents aged 16–19 conducted in 2012 in Norway provided …
Mental Health in Pre-Adolescents with Cerebral Palsy
There is a high prevalence of mental health problems in children with Cerebral Palsy (CP). Still, knowledge regarding the trajectory of mental health problems throughout childhood and differences according to informants is lacking. There is also a need for more knowledge regarding the validity of mental health screening tools. In the present study, we assessed changes in parent-rated mental health problems in a cohort of 36 children with CP from …
Study progress, recreational activities, and loneliness in young adult carers
Study progress, recreational activities, and loneliness among young adults are associated with informal caring responsibilities. Professionals in the educational system as well as health personnel should be sensitized to the needs of young adult carers and necessary support made available
The Importance of Perceived Discrimination and Pre-Adoption Risk for Mental Health Problems among Young Adult Internationally Adopted Students in Norway
The research on mental health problems in adult international adoptees is limited, and while perceived discrimination has been related to increased psychological distress, less is known about its influence on more severe mental health problems. The study investigated mental health problems and the importance of pre- and post-adoption risk factors among internationally adopted students in young adulthood. Data stem from the cross-sectional SHoT st…
The Association Between Self-Reported Screen Time, Social Media Addiction, and Sleep Among Norwegian University Students
The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between daily screen time and sleep, evening screen time and sleep, and between social media addiction and sleep in a student population. This cross-sectional study is based on data from a national survey of all college and university students in Norway (the SHoT2018 study; n = 49,051). The sleep outcomes were sleep duration, sleep onset latency, sleep efficiency, and insomnia operationalized a…
Perfectionism in Adolescence
Background: Perfectionism in adolescence has received increased attention, but few studies have examined this in non-clinical samples. This study investigated perfectionism among adolescents from the general population in relation to demographic factors. Methods: The present study is cross-sectional and draws on the epidemiological youth@hordaland study. The sample consisted of 10.217 adolescents aged 16–19 years (52.9% girls). Self-reported perf…
Differential associations between types of social media use and university students' non-suicidal self-injury and suicidal behavior
Study protocol
This study will examine short- and long-term consequences of child maltreatment across a range of health-related outcomes in a longitudinal perspective. Results from the current study might have implications for the development of preventive and intervention programs related to child maltreatment and the organization and follow-up of the services these children receive. The current study will hopefully contribute with knowledge of risk-factors, s…
Physical inactivity, non-participation in sports and socioeconomic status
We found some evidence of a social gradient for lower physical inactivity and non-participation in sports for adolescents. Although effect sizes were small, vocational studies was the most robust correlate for physical inactivity/non-participation in sports among the SES-variables, while the corresponding associations with parental education and family economic well-being differed by gender
Sleep among youths in foster care
Among maltreated youth in foster care, little is known about frequency of sleep problems and its association to potential traumatic events (PTEs) and mental health. Among youths in foster care, we examined: (1) sleep patterns, difficulties initiating and maintaining sleep (DIMS) and related functional impairment; (2) whether exposure to PTEs, symptoms of post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and general mental health problems are associated with …
Substance-related problems among adolescents in child welfare services
The literature base on substance use among adolescents who receive interventions from child welfare services (CWS) in Nordic countries is limited. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether Norwegian adolescents in contact with CWS are at higher risk for substance-related problems (SRP) compared with the general adolescent population, and to what extent those in foster care (FC) differ from those receiving in-home services (IHS). The da…

Sleep problems in preschoolers and maternal depressive symptoms
Child sleep problems are associated with maternal depressive symptoms. It is unclear to what extent the association is due to direct effects or common risk factors for mother and child. Direct effects could represent child-driven processes, where child sleep problems influence maternal depressive symptoms, or mother-driven processes, where maternal depressive symptoms influence child sleep problems. Common factors could be shared genetic and fami…
The Bidirectional Association Between Depression and Insomnia
OBJECTIVE: Depression and insomnia are closely linked, yet our understanding of their prospective relationships remains limited. The aim of the current study was to investigate the directionality of association between depression and insomnia. METHODS: Data were collected from a prospective population-based study comprising the most recent waves of the Nord-Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT) (the HUNT2 in 1995-1997 and the HUNT3 in 2006-2008). A total…
Delayed sleep phase syndrome in adolescents
This is one of the first studies to estimate the prevalence of DSPS in adolescents. The high prevalence of DSPS, and overlap with insomnia, in combination with the odds of school non-attendance, suggest that a broad and thorough clinical approach is warranted when adolescents present with symptoms of DSPS
Socioeconomic Status and Child Mental Health
Sleep and use of electronic devices in adolescence
OBJECTIVES: Adolescents spend increasingly more time on electronic devices, and sleep deficiency rising in adolescents constitutes a major public health concern. The aim of the present study was to investigate daytime screen use and use of electronic devices before bedtime in relation to sleep. DESIGN: A large cross-sectional population-based survey study from 2012, the youth@hordaland study, in Hordaland County in Norway. SETTING: Cross-sectiona…
Adolescent school absenteeism and service use in a population-based study
Adolescents with high absence had increased use of services, although a group of youth at risk seems to be without such contact. This finding suggests a potential to address school absenteeism through systematic collaboration between schools and health personnel
Use of alcohol, tobacco and illicit drugs among ethnic Norwegian and ethnic minority adolescents in Hordaland county, Norway
The presents study identified important differences in unhealthy behaviours across different ethnic groups in Norway. The differences in the prevalence of unhealthy behaviours among ethnic minorities are still relevant in a public health perspective, and potential mechanisms should be investigated further
Parental work absenteeism is associated with increased symptom complaints and school absence in adolescent children
We found that parental work absence was significantly associated with the number of adolescent symptom complaints and school absenteeism. The results suggest that parents may play a critical modelling role in the intergenerational transmission of illness and disability behaviour
Sleep problems in preschoolers and maternal depressive symptoms
Child sleep problems are associated with maternal depressive symptoms. It is unclear to what extent the association is due to direct effects or common risk factors for mother and child. Direct effects could represent child-driven processes, where child sleep problems influence maternal depressive symptoms, or mother-driven processes, where maternal depressive symptoms influence child sleep problems. Common factors could be shared genetic and fami…
Sleep difficulties and academic performance in Norwegian higher education students
BACKGROUND: Sleep difficulties are common among university students and may detrimentally affect academic outcomes. Despite this, remarkably little information is currently available during this critical developmental period of early adulthood, and thus, the direct effect on measurable domains of academic ability and proficiency is equivocal. AIMS: To evaluate the associations between difficulties initiating and maintaining sleep (DIMS) and subje…
Alcohol and drug use among internationally adopted adolescents
Internationally adopted adolescents are at increased risk for mental health problems. However, little is known about problematic alcohol and drug use, which are important indicators of maladjustment. The aim of this study was to examine the level of problematic alcohol and drug use in internationally adopted adolescents compared to their nonadopted peers. The study is based on data from the youth@hordaland-survey, which was conducted in Hordaland…
Interplay of subjective and objective economic well-being on the mental health of Norwegian adolescents
Objective and subjective socioeconomic status (SES) are important determinants of adolescent mental health problems, but we know less about how they interact. Research has demonstrated independent associations of both variables to mental health problems, but less is known about their relationship and role in adolescent mental health problems. Data from the youth@hordaland study, a survey of 9079 Norwegian adolescents aged 16 to 19 were linked to …
