Using the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) data (N = 10,010) at baseline (ages 9-10) and 24-month follow-up (ages 11-12), this report investigates informant agreement/disagreement in caregiver- and youth- reports of suicidal ideation and their associations with youth sex assigned at birth and symptomatology across preadolescence. Using the Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia (K-SADS) at both timepoints, four informant discrepancy groups were created from caregiver- and youth- reported suicidal ideation: (1) Concordant No; (2) Concordant Yes; (3) Discordant Caregiver Yes, Youth No; (4) Discordant Caregiver No, Youth Yes. Internalizing and externalizing symptoms were measured at the 24-month follow-up using the caregiver-report Child Behavior Checklist and the youth-report ABCD Brief Problem Monitor. Results indicated low-to-fair caregiver-youth agreement for youth suicidal ideation across preadolescence. Suicidal ideation reported by youth, but not caregivers, demonstrated a shift in prevalence at the follow-up, with females surpassing males in self-reported endorsements. Finally, informant groups at both time points were associated with caregiver- and youth-reported youth symptomatology at the 24-month follow-up, and associations varied by reporter. Findings demonstrate the importance of leveraging both caregiver and youth reports to assess preadolescent suicidal ideation and highlight the clinical utility of informant discrepancies in assessing suicide risk. The accurate assessment of suicidal ideation in preadolescents is essential to curb the increasing rates of preadolescent suicide and identify at-risk youth for interventions prior to even larger uptick of suicide in adolescence.</p>","PeriodicalId":10024,"journal":{"name":"Child Psychiatry & Human Development","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143001145","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 aim of the current paper was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the original, English-language version of the POM. Mothers (N = 288) of children aged between 36 and 71 months completed the POM along with measures assessing validity. A subsample (n = 86) also repeated the POM after approximately 5 weeks. Exploratory factor analysis of the present sample, did not show very clear factor structure and we therefore recommend use of the full scale at this stage. However, two, potentially interpretable factors related to restriction and comfort. Reliability for both factors and the total was strong (alphas and omegas .74 to .90) and the (sub)scales all showed good retest reliability (.72 to .75). Correlations with other measures of overprotection were moderate for the total and restriction scales but smaller for comfort and the two subscales correlated differently from each other with other aspects of parenting.
