Mental Health and Well-Being-Related Social Support for Care-Experienced Children and Young People
Care-experienced children and young people (CYP), for example, those who have been under state care through foster, kinship, or residential placements, or adopted from care, experience disproportionately high levels of mental health difficulties. Yet little is known about the forms of social support that may protect or promote their mental health and well-being (MHW). This scoping review mapped the international evidence on the types, sources, an…
Multiagency Collaborations to Support Well‐Being Amongst Care‐Experienced Children and Young People in School and During Transition to Further Education College
Multiagency collaboration to address care‐experienced children and young people's mental well‐being has been advocated as a way of attending to complex needs while avoiding fragmented support. Key sectors with a statutory role include education, mental health and social care, and there is increasing interest at a UK and global scale about stakeholder experiences of multiagency collaboration and how sectors work together when young people transiti…
Student perceptions of people and places in their school that are influential for mental health and emotional wellbeing, and implications for wellbeing policies in Wales
All age groups reflected similarly on the qualities of supportive adults and on the key role of peers. • School spaces that were most challenging were noisy, crowded and lacking supervision. • Tackling multiple aspects of the school environment together may support mental wellbeing. • Not all of aspects of school environment are equally amenable to change or under school control. There have been reported increases in mental health challenges amon…
Mental Wellbeing Needs and Support for Care‐Experienced Children and Young People in Secondary School and During the Transition to Further Education College
Education settings are critical for supporting mental wellbeing, but there is limited support specifically for care‐experienced children and young people, including gaps in supporting the transition to Further Education (FE) colleges. Using a mixture of qualitative methods, this study aimed to understand mental wellbeing provision in secondary schools and FE colleges in Wales, UK, for those currently or formerly in foster, kinship or residential …
Identifying protective and risk behavior patterns of online communication in young people
INTRODUCTION: Research has investigated the association between time spent online and mental well-being, however the nuances between specific online behaviors and well-being have been less explored. This research examines how specific online behaviors (i.e., how young people are engaging online and with whom), are associated with one another, and how these patterns of behaviors are related to well-being. METHODS: We used the November 2020 and Mar…
Trends in adolescent emotional problems in Wales between 2013 and 2019
BACKGROUND: Epidemiological evidence shows a substantial increase in adolescent emotional problems in many countries, but reasons for this increase remain poorly understood. We tested change in emotional problems in a national sample of young people in Wales in 2013, 2017 and 2019 using identical symptom screens, and examined whether trends were accounted for by changes in youth friendship quality and bullying. METHODS: The present study of 230,7…
Receipt of social services intervention in childhood, educational attainment and emergency hospital admissions
All groups receiving social service intervention experience poorer educational and health outcomes than peers in the general population. Children who remain with their home parents or caregivers but are identified as 'in need' or 'at risk' by social care practitioners require further research. Integrated support is needed from multiple sectors, including health, educational and social care
School and Family Level Socioeconomic Status, School Connectedness and Health and Wellbeing Among 9–11 Year Olds
Schools are important social institutions which play a role in reducing and amplifying inequalities, including health inequalities. A growing evidence base indicates that school and family socioeconomic status (SES) interact to create positive and negative health outcomes, with ‘benefits’ of attending a higher SES school greatest for children from higher SES families. School connectedness is an increasingly studied mechanism, or set of mechanisms…
Mental health and life satisfaction among 10–11-year-olds in Wales, before and one year after onset of the Covid-19 pandemic
Supporting children's emotional recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic is a public health priority requiring urgent and effective action at multiple levels of society. Maintaining connectedness to school through the pandemic may have played a role in preventing a steeper increase in child mental health difficulties
Risk Behaviours Associated with Dating and Relationship Violence among 11–16 Year Olds in Wales
(1) Background: This study examines the associations between risk behaviours and adolescent emotional and physical dating and relationship violence (DRV) victimisation and perpetration, and how these vary by gender. The risk behaviours explored include bullying, cyberbullying, sexting, alcohol, and cannabis use; (2) Methods: Cross-sectional self-report data from the School Health Research Network (SHRN) 2019 Student Health Wellbeing (SHW) survey …
Measurement invariance of the short Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale and latent mean differences (SWEMWBS) in young people by current care status
Findings suggest that SWEMWBS is a valid scale for measuring differences in mental wellbeing for young people in care similar to the population
Socioeconomic status, mental wellbeing and transition to secondary school
Young people's wellbeing is often lowest where they assume a relatively low position within their school's socioeconomic hierarchy, for example, among poorer children attending more affluent schools. Transition to secondary school is a period during which young people typically enter an environment which is more socioeconomically diverse than their primary school. Young people joining a school with a higher socioeconomic status intake relative to…
Does Religion Stave Off the Grave? Religious Affiliation in One’s Obituary and Longevity
Self-reported religious service attendance has been linked with longevity. However, previous work has largely relied on self-report data and volunteer samples. Here, mention of a religious affiliation in obituaries was analyzed as an alternative measure of religiosity. In two samples ( N = 505 from Des Moines, IA, and N = 1,096 from 42 U.S. cities), the religiously affiliated lived 9.45 and 5.64 years longer, respectively, than the nonreligiously…
Adverse Childhood Experiences of Children Adopted from Care
We investigated the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and children's internalising symptoms and externalising problems in the Wales Adoption Cohort Study, a prospective longitudinal study that used case file records ( n = 374) for a sample of British children adopted from care ( M = 2 years, 55% male). Parents ( n = 96) completed questionnaires at 3-5 months, 15-17 months, and 31-33 months post-placement. We hypothesised t…
Depression and Anxiety Symptoms of British Adoptive Parents
The mental health of birth parents has gained attention due to the serious negative consequences for personal, family, and child outcomes, but depression and anxiety in adoptive parents remains under-recognized. Using a prospective, longitudinal design, we investigated anxiety and depression symptoms in 96 British adoptive parents over four time points in the first four years of an adoptive placement. Depression and anxiety symptom scores were re…
