The primary aim of this study was to examine the association between self-assessed mother-infant attachment and the offspring´s behavioural problems in childhood and early adolescence. This study was based on data from the first Growing up in Scotland (GUS) birth cohort (n = 2225). Mother-infant attachment was assessed with the Maternal Postnatal Attachment Scale 10 months postnatally and child mental well-being was assessed with the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire collected when the child was 7-8 years, 10-11 years and 12 years old. Multinomial logistic regression was used to examine the association between mother-infant attachment and mental health. Weaker reported mother-infant bonds were associated with later higher risk of child problems in most SDQ subscales at ages 7-8 and 10-11. For boys, some risks persisted until age 12, while all associations faded for girls. The study confirms a link between maternally reported weak attachment and behavioural problems, with the strongest effects in boys.</p>","PeriodicalId":10024,"journal":{"name":"Child Psychiatry & Human Development","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144641924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By examining their temporal trends, regional distributions, and demographic differences, the study seeks to elucidate the epidemiological similarities and differences between the two disorders, thereby providing a scientific foundation for the development of prevention, diagnosis, and treatment strategies. This study, based on GBD 2021 data, analyzed the incidence, prevalence, and disability-adjusted life years (DALY) of ASD and ADHD globally from 1990 to 2021. The research employed age-standardized rates (ASR) to eliminate the influence of population age structure and explored the contributions of epidemiological changes, including population size, aging, as well as disease incidence, prevalence, mortality, and risk factors, to DALY through decomposition analysis. Additionally, the study performed an analysis of health inequalities, conducted a frontier analysis, and predicted future trends utilizing the Bayesian Age-Period-Cohort (BAPC) model. In 2021, the prevalence of ASD among the global population aged 0-14 years was 857.14 cases per 100,000 individuals (95% UI: 723.16-1009.04), while the prevalence of ADHD was 1,661.61 cases per 100,000 individuals (95% UI: 1,128.43-2,414.83). Within this age group, the DALY for ASD were 3,318,058 (95% UI: 2,248,324-4,668,010), compared to 410,705 (95% UI: 209,548-714,682) for ADHD. The DALY burden for ASD was higher than that for ADHD. These two disorders exhibit differences in gender and age distribution, with higher incidence rates and DALY values observed in males. Projections indicate that from 2021 to 2050, the DALY for both ASD and ADHD in the 0-14 age group are expected to show an upward trend.</p>","PeriodicalId":10024,"journal":{"name":"Child Psychiatry & Human Development","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144607626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Across prior studies, there is evidence that parental internalizing symptoms (anxiety and depression) are associated with less consistent and structured parenting behaviors as well as higher child internalizing symptoms. Factors such as familial socioeconomic status and cultural identity have also been shown to interact with parental internalizing symptoms and parenting behaviors. Prior studies of these associations often do not include fathers and are not typically population representative. The goal of the present study was to leverage a nationally representative sample of U.S. parents to examine how parents' self-reported internalizing symptoms relate to their parenting behaviors and reports of their child's symptoms, accounting for familial factors (socioeconomic status, child age, sex, race, and ethnicity) known to influence parenting. Parents of 5-12-year-old children (N = 1570, 36% fathers) completed self-report measures of their parenting (inconsistent discipline and poor supervision and monitoring), their depression and anxiety symptoms, and their children's internalizing symptoms. Results from structural equation modeling demonstrated that maternal and paternal internalizing symptoms were associated with less consistent parenting behaviors and with greater child internalizing symptoms. Paternal internalizing symptoms were also indirectly associated with child symptoms via less consistent parenting. Associations among family sociodemographic factors and parenting behaviors varied across parents. Results are consistent with findings from previous studies in smaller samples, focused primarily on mothers. Findings support the generalizability of associations among parental internalizing symptoms, parenting behaviors, and child internalizing symptoms to fathers and to nonclinical samples of parents.</p>","PeriodicalId":10024,"journal":{"name":"Child Psychiatry & Human Development","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144590574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
