The present study aimed to: 1) investigate associations between pre-existing parent mental health issues (2019) with children's long-term socio-emotional functioning (2021), via changes in emotion-related parenting practices during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020); and 2) test whether COVID-19 pandemic-related environmental stressors during 2020 and 2021 exacerbated associations between emotion-related parenting practices and children's socio-emotional functioning. Data were drawn from the Child and Parent Emotion Study (CAPES). Parents of children aged 4-9 years (N = 1,046) completed online self-report surveys. A moderated mediation model was estimated via path analysis to test all aims, controlling for covariance. Parent mental health issues at Time 1 were associated with lower levels of emotion coaching practices at Time 2, and emotion dismissing practices at Time 2 were associated with higher levels of children's parent-reported behavioral problems at Time 3. There was no evidence to support mediation effects or a moderating influence of cumulative COVID-19 stressors. The findings highlight the importance of providing parents with mental health support and encourage them to engage in emotion coaching practices. Moreover, parents who receive specific support related to their parenting practices may see improvements in their children's externalizing behavior problems.</p>","PeriodicalId":10024,"journal":{"name":"Child Psychiatry & Human Development","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145013958","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}

The Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale (RCADS) is one of the most widely used screening measures, with demonstrated cross-cultural applicability. However, its psychometric properties have rarely been evaluated in Chinese populations. This study assessed the psychometric properties of the 25-item short-version RCADS (RCADS-25) in a sample of 534 preadolescents in Mainland China (ages 9-12, 42% female). Participants completed self-reports on the RCADS-25, positive and negative affect, and psychological resilience, while their parents rated child internalizing and externalizing problems. The RCADS-25 showed adequate reliability and validity in our sample. RCADS-25 scores were positively associated with negative affect and emotional-behavioral difficulties, and negatively associated with positive affect and psychological resilience. Confirmatory factor analysis suggested that anxiety and depression are two distinct yet closely related constructs. In addition, participants at risk for clinical-level internalizing and externalizing problems had significantly higher RCADS-25 Total Depression scores. These findings provide initial psychometric support for using the RCADS-25 with Chinese preadolescents. Given its brevity, the RCADS-25 may be a valuable tool for large-scale mental health screening of Chinese students in school settings.</p>","PeriodicalId":10024,"journal":{"name":"Child Psychiatry & Human Development","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145013970","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}

Thirty-seven studies were included, with sixteen studies pertaining to anxiety, seven to depression, seven to OCD and seven to TS. While a few studies were published on the use of stepped care models in anxiety, depression and OCD, the majority of research studies published in the past 15 years sought to establish if alternative delivery systems for psychological therapies (i.e. by telephone, videoconference, online with minimal therapist involvement) are superior to waitlist or attention controls, or similar in efficacy to face-to-face delivery across these four conditions.

Lifestyle has a significant impact on children's physical and mental health. This study examined the prevalence of unhealthy lifestyle habits in children and adolescents in psychiatric care, and how they vary by age, gender, and diagnosis. Parent-reported data on sleep, physical activity, diet (i.e., vegetables and fruit), and screen time from 4,633 children and adolescents (ages 0-18 years) referred for specialized psychiatric care were used. Parents reported high levels of unhealthy lifestyle habits among children with mental disorders. Adolescents (13-18 years) exhibited the unhealthiest lifestyles, with more sleep problems, less physical activity, more screen time and less fruit intake. Reported lifestyle habits were worse for girls than boys, with girls exhibited less physical activity, more sleeping problems, more screen time and less fruit intake. Children and adolescents with depression and anxiety disorders reported the least physical activity, most screen time and the least fruit and vegetable intake. Children and adolescents with trauma and stressor related disorders had the most sleep problems. To conclude, parents report high amounts of unhealthy lifestyle habits in their children with mental disorders. These unhealthy lifestyle habits appeared to be highly prevalent in this group of children compared to those in the normative population. Given the high prevalence of unhealthy lifestyle in this clinical population of children, it is crucial to place greater emphasis on improving lifestyle interventions within psychiatric care.</p>","PeriodicalId":10024,"journal":{"name":"Child Psychiatry & Human Development","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144944951","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}

Addressing the issue requires recognizing the complexities of ethnic diversity, promoting inclusivity, and implementing targeted interventions to prevent and mitigate violence. This systematic review focuses on understanding the multiple levels of factors that contribute to ethnic violence among adolescents within school settings. This is a systematic review of articles published between 1990 and the end of 2023 using the keywords race/ethnic minority, adolescent, ethnic and racial minorities, school, and violence in the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. And the main entry criteria were articles that dealt with the issue of ethnic violence, and their target population was teenagers of different ethnicities who were studying in educational environments. We identified key determinants at the student, classroom, and school levels. At the student level, immigrant status, gender, and academic performance were significant factors, with immigrants and first-generation boys more involved in violence. Classroom-level factors included the ethnic composition of the classroom, where increased diversity sometimes exacerbated tensions. At the school level, school size, security measures, and the presence of gangs influenced the prevalence of ethnic violence. The consequences of ethnic violence are profound, resulting in physical harm, psychological harm, reduced academic achievement, and long-term health problems. This violence also undermines social cohesion and economic development by perpetuating cycles of fear, mistrust, and social isolation. This review shows that ethnic violence in schools is shaped by a range of student-, classroom-, and school-level factors. In particular, immigrant generation, low SES, classroom diversity without integration, and school-level prejudice or gang presence are pivotal drivers. Multilevel interventions are required to support first-generation adolescents, manage classroom diversity, and implement anti-gang school policies.</p>","PeriodicalId":10024,"journal":{"name":"Child Psychiatry & Human Development","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144944914","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}

This study, grounded in the historical intergenerational trauma transmission model, investigates the intergenerational effects of parents' childhood experiences in invalidating family environments on preschool children's mental health, with a specific focus on the mediating roles of parents' authoritative and authoritarian parenting. Data were collected through a year-long longitudinal survey conducted across six kindergartens in Shanghai, China, involving a total of 624 matched families. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to construct the complex relationships between parents' childhood invalidating family experiences, parenting styles, and children's mental health. The results indicate that mothers' childhood invalidating family significantly predict children's mental health problems, whereas the corresponding effect for fathers was not significant. Additionally, both authoritative and authoritarian parenting styles of mothers mediated the relationship between their childhood invalidating family experiences and children's mental health. In contrast, neither authoritative nor authoritarian parenting styles of fathers demonstrated significant mediating effects in this relationship.
