Associations between local rates of violence and experiences of psychosis in Trinidad
Introduction and aim Individual-level exposure to violence is known to influence various aspects of the experience of psychosis. This study aimed to assess the impact of local violence rates on the symptom profiles and outcomes of people with psychosis, their exposure to trauma and other potential risk and protective factors, and interactions with the police and mental health services, in a Caribbean country with high rates of violent crime. Meth…
Mediators of the Association Between a Parent’s Experience of Trauma and Their Children’s Well-Being
At present, our understanding of trauma’s complexity is underdeveloped, particularly with regard to intergenerational effects. In this paper, we review peer-reviewed literature on parental trauma and child well-being, focusing on mediating factors. We conducted a global systematic review of longitudinal, observational studies assessing mediators between a parent’s traumatic exposure and their children’s well-being. The primary outcome of the revi…
Neighbourhoods & recovery from psychosis in Trinidad
Various aspects of neighbourhood environments influence recovery from psychosis.•High levels of violence at the neighbourhood level may negatively affect recovery.•Social cohesion may be a protective factor that promotes recovery.•Normalisation of cannabis use and easy access to cannabis may also hinder recovery.•Community involvement is needed to design interventions targeting these factors
Covid-19 mental health impact and responses in low-income and middle-income countries
"Is there a medicine for these tensions?" Barriers to treatment-seeking for depressive symptoms in rural India
Low demand for depression treatment reflected discrepancies between the community's perceived needs and a narrow biomedical model of mental health. Meeting their needs may require a radical change in approach that acknowledges the social determinants of distress, and the interactions between mental and physical health. The capabilities approach may provide a framework for more holistically conceptualising people's needs
Factors associated with health service utilisation for common mental disorders
Reading and spelling performance of 8-year-old children
The ability of 112 first year junior children to read 20 words drawn from reading tests in common use was compared with their ability to write these words. The strategies for spelling used by good readers were examined and the extent to which setting the words in context affected their performance of the tasks was also investigated. It was found that while the children could read 92% of the words in context and 87% of them in isolation they could…
Reflection‐impulsivity and Reading Ability in Seven‐year‐old Children
S ummary . Reading ability and performance on the Matching Familiar Figures Test were compared for two samples of seven‐year‐old children, a sample of 70 constituting a complete top infant year group in two infant schools and a sample of 42 poor readers from nine top infant classes in the same city. Considerably more of the poor readers than the main sample were found to be impulsive. There was a consistent tendency for girls to be more reflectiv…
Skills of Analysis and Synthesis in the Early Stages of Reading
S ummary . An examination was made of the ‘actions’ of early reading—analysis and synthesis—within the modalities of sound alone and sound with sight. The relative difficulty of these skills for a sample of forty 5 and 6‐year‐old children was established through an assessment of their performance of four different tasks of analysis or synthesis involving four word lists of equal difficulty. Purely auditory synthesis was found to be considerably e…
