Global prevalence and psychological impact of bullying among children and adolescents : a meta-analysis

Objective

Bullying is a significant public health concern with negative consequences. Therefore, we conducted this meta-analysis to estimate the pooled prevalence and psychological impact of bullying among children and adolescents.

Methods

Preventing suicide with Safe Alternatives for Teens and Youths (SAFETY) : a randomised feasibility trial

Background Suicide attempts are common in youth and have potentially lethal outcomes. Effective treatments targeting suicide attempts are scarce.

Objective To assess the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a family-based cognitive behavioural treatment relative to an active control for youth with suicidal behaviour.

Building toward a text-based intervention for parents of suicidal adolescents seeking emergency department care : A pilot randomized controlled trial.

Objective: The growing demand for emergency department (ED) care for suicidal ideation and attempts in adolescents calls for effective interventions preventing post-ED recurrence of suicidal crises. Parents are tasked with implementing postdischarge suicide prevention recommendations, often with little support. To address this need, this study examined a parent-facing texting intervention targeting parental engagement in suicide prevention activities to lower youth suicide risk after discharge.

 

Safety Planning Interventions for Suicide Prevention in Children and Adolescents : A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Importance  Suicide ideation and suicide-related behavior (eg, suicide attempts) are increasingly prevalent among adolescents. Evidence supports safety planning interventions for adults at risk for suicide; the effectiveness for adolescents is unknown.

 

Objective  To evaluate the effectiveness of safety planning as a standalone intervention for adolescents with suicide ideation and/or suicide-related behavior.

 

Reporting and Representation of Race and Ethnicity in Clinical Trials of Pharmacotherapy for Mental Disorders : A Meta-Analysis

Importance  Representation of race and ethnicity in randomized clinical trials (RCTs) is critical for understanding treatment efficacy across populations with different racial and ethnic backgrounds.

Objective  To examine race and ethnicity representation and reporting across RCTs of pharmacotherapies for mental disorders.

Does war moderate the association between mental wellbeing and its predictors among children? A multi-country cross-sectional study

Background
This study explores how war or conflict influences the established predictors of mental well-being among children, addressing a significant gap in current research.

Poly-victimization and post-traumatic stress symptoms in care experienced youth : the mediating role of mentalizing

Background: Youth with care experience have often been affected by repeated victimization and exhibit high rates of post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS). Several studies underline the buffering role of mentalizing against the harmful effects of childhood adversity.

Objective: This study aims to assess whether lower mentalizing mediates the relationship between poly-victimization and PTSS in youth with care experience.

The influence of childhood trauma on social media-induced secondary traumatic stress among college students : the chain mediating effect of self-compassion and resilience

Background: Studies have shown that media exposure to critical public events can lead to secondary traumatic stress (STS). Personal trauma history, self-compassion and resilience are important factors influencing STS in healthy professionals. However, whether these variables are associated with social media-induced STS in college students and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to explore the complex relationship linking childhood trauma to social media-induced STS in a large sample of college students.

Maternal Attachment and Perinatal Health in Refugee Women : A Systematic Review

Background: In the general population, a relationship between maternal mental health and maternal attachment has been identified, but it has not been studied in depth in vulnerable populations like refugee women. This review aims to analyze the relationship between maternal attachment and mental health in postpartum refugee women and to propose a conceptual framework for understanding these interactions.
