Abstract
Youth represents a vulnerable developmental period associated with significant sleep and circadian changes. One notable change is increased eveningness, which refers to a tendency for later sleep and daily activities. Eveningness has been associated with various adverse outcomes in youth, including compromised sleep, mental health, and physical well-being.1,2 As such, it is imperative to develop effective interventions to address these issues. While some evidence suggests short-term benefits of interventions targeting circadian problems,3 the extent of our knowledge regarding the long-term impact on youth remains uncertain. In this issue of the Journal, Susman et al.4 shed light on this crucial question through their study that examined the effects of the Transdiagnostic Sleep and Circadian Intervention for Youth (TranS-C), a modular cognitive-behavioral intervention that specifically targets sleep and circadian issues.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry (JAACAP) is dedicated to advancing the field of child and adolescent psychiatry through the publication of original research and papers of theoretical, scientific, and clinical significance. Our primary focus is on the mental health of children, adolescents, and families.
We welcome unpublished manuscripts that explore various perspectives, ranging from genetic, epidemiological, neurobiological, and psychopathological research, to cognitive, behavioral, psychodynamic, and other psychotherapeutic investigations. We also encourage submissions that delve into parent-child, interpersonal, and family research, as well as clinical and empirical studies conducted in inpatient, outpatient, consultation-liaison, and school-based settings.
In addition to publishing research, we aim to promote the well-being of children and families by featuring scholarly papers on topics such as health policy, legislation, advocacy, culture, society, and service provision in relation to mental health.
At JAACAP, we strive to foster collaboration and dialogue among researchers, clinicians, and policy-makers in order to enhance our understanding and approach to child and adolescent mental health.
