Using guidelines for reflexive thematic analysis [5], several themes emerged: (1) Household Impacted, (2) Caregivers Impacted, (3) Financial Impact of Misophonia, and (4) Non-financial Barriers to Care.

However, research on the trends related to the disease burden of schizophrenia in pediatric and adolescent populations remains limited. This study intends to examine the changes in the burden of schizophrenia among younger individuals from 1990 to 2021, with the objective of identifying areas that require targeted interventions and preventive measures. Data from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021 were evaluated to report the incidence and prevalence of schizophrenia among individuals aged 10 to 24 years between 1990 and 2021, across global, regional, and national levels. We provided case numbers and rates per 100,000 individuals. Additionally, we examined trends in schizophrenia concerning age, gender, and socio-demographic index (SDI). Average annual percentage changes (AAPC) were calculated, and years with the most significant trends were identified utilizing joinpoint regression analysis. The study cohort was divided into three age categories: 10 to 14 years, 15 to 19 years, and 20 to 24 years. In 2021, the global incidence and prevalence rates of schizophrenia among young adults and adolescents were 25.6 (95% UI, 18.0-35.1) and 105.7 (95% UI, 70.7-147.5) per 100,000 individuals, respectively, reflecting a decline from 26.6 (95% UI, 19.1-35.8) and 110.5 (95% UI, 75.6-152.0) in 1990. Noticeable changes in schizophrenia incidence were found in 1998, 2001, and 2010. By sex, the incidence rate among men has always been higher than that among women. By age groups, the incidence of schizophrenia increased sharply with age. By SDI quintile, countries with low SDI experienced the most significant rise in both incidence and prevalence rates. At the national level, adolescents and young adults aged 10-24 in Australia reported the highest ASIR for schizophrenia, followed by New Zealand and the United States. The most substantial increase in schizophrenia prevalence rate was noted in Tropical Latin America. From 1990 to 2021, the global incidence of schizophrenia among adolescents and young adults followed a significant three-phase trend: an initial decline, followed by an increase from around 2000 to 2010, and a subsequent decrease in recent years. These findings underscore the need for future research and policy efforts to prioritize reducing health disparities and improving mental health outcomes for at-risk populations-particularly young individuals in low SDI regions. Timely detection and intervention remain essential to mitigate the impact of schizophrenia on individuals and society.</p>","PeriodicalId":10024,"journal":{"name":"Child Psychiatry & Human Development","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147716258","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}

One hundred and sixty-seven suicidal pre-adolescents and adolescents (10-17 years; M = 12, SD = 1.4) presenting to a psychiatric ED with a suicide-related chief complaint completed assessments of suicidal ideation (SI; passive and active thoughts), suicide attempt (SA), depressive symptoms, and death conceptualizations (Death Avoidance, Escape Acceptance, Neutral Acceptance). Post-discharge SI and SA were assessed via survey emailed to participants 6 months later and via electronic medical record. At baseline, lower levels of Death Avoidance and higher levels of Escape Acceptance were most robustly associated with active SI. Pre-adolescents reported higher levels of Death Avoidance and lower levels of Escape Acceptance than adolescents at baseline. Death conceptualizations did not predict follow-up SI and SA. Youth who have recently experienced a suicide-related crisis are more likely to accept death as an escape from painand spend less time avoiding thoughts about death.

After confirming measurement invariance across time, analyses revealed that all four constructs showed linear declines over time. Higher initial levels and slower declines in emotional reactivity significantly predicted higher initial levels and slower declines in both internalizing and externalizing problems. The data further showed that the initial level of peer victimization moderated these relationships: greater initial peer victimization amplified the association between emotional reactivity and internalizing problems, while accelerating reductions in peer victimization strengthened the coupling between decreases in emotional reactivity and decreases in externalizing problems.

Further, extant studies have used non-optimal measures of CDS and/or sleep, small sample sizes, or rarely focus on adolescence when sleep problems often emerge and worsen, and few have controlled for depressive symptoms which are strongly associated with both CDS and poorer sleep functioning. Accordingly, we used a multi-informant design to examine CDS, ADHD, and depressive symptoms in relation to sleep disturbance, daytime sleep-related impairment, and circadian preference in a sample of 341 early adolescents (ages 10-12). Adolescents, caregivers, and teachers completed measures of CDS, ADHD, and depression. Adolescents and caregivers completed the patient-reported outcome measurement information system (PROMIS) sleep disturbance and sleep-related impairment scales; adolescents also completed a measure of circadian preference. Multivariate regression analyses examined CDS, ADHD, and depressive symptoms in relation to sleep functioning. Across models with different informants, CDS symptoms were more consistently associated than ADHD dimensions with greater sleep-related impairment and sleep disturbance. In contrast, only self-reported ADHD inattentive symptoms were independently associated with greater eveningness preference. This study provides further evidence of the unique association between CDS and sleep disturbance and sleep-related impairment, raising the possibility that the established association between ADHD and sleep disturbance may be in part due to or exacerbated by co-occurring CDS.
