However, existing studies predominantly focus on suicidal ideation rather than suicide attempts and often do not adequately control for potential psychological confounders. The mechanism linking IGD to suicidality remains unclear. This study aims to assess the independent association between IGD and suicidal behaviors and to examine the mediating role of sleep disturbance among Chinese adolescents. We recruited 135,174 middle school students from Zigong City using cluster sampling. Data on demographics, suicidal ideation, and suicidal attempts were collected. IGD was assessed using the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form. Mental distress, including depression, anxiety, hyperactivity/inattention, conduct problems, sleep problems, and psychotic experiences, was evaluated using standardized questionnaires. Multiple logistic regression models and mediation analysis were conducted. The prevalence rates of IGD, suicidal behaviors, suicidal ideation, and suicide attempts were 1.6%, 16.7%, 11.9%, and 9.8%, respectively. Adolescents with IGD showed a significantly higher risk for suicidality: nearly 60% reported suicidal behaviors, 50% reported suicidal ideation, and 40% reported suicide attempts. Both IGD and gaming usage were independently linked to suicidal behaviors. Sleep disturbance partially mediated the relationship between IGD and suicidal behaviors, accounting for 47.0% of the total effect. Our studies call for timely and regular assessments for suicidality and sleep disturbance in IGD. Targeted interventions addressing sleep disturbance might reduce suicidal risk among adolescents with IGD.</p>","PeriodicalId":11856,"journal":{"name":"European Child & Adolescent Psychiatry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143540773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This systematic review aimed to identify and synthesise evidence on DHIs suitable for young people aged 16-25 with ADHD, focussing on UK healthcare settings. We searched MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, IEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Scopus, Web of Science Core Collection, ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global from inception to December 2023 for studies about DHIs for ADHD which provided healthcare and self-management information, and which included at least one participant aged 16-25 years. Studies were grouped by intervention type (healthcare & self-management information, symptom monitoring, and management tools), appraised using the Quality Assessment with Diverse Studies (QuADS) tool. A narrative synthesis was conducted. Nineteen papers representing 15 interventions and comprising 2651 participants were identified. Research studies spanned intervention development, feasibility/usability, pilots exploring preliminary effectiveness, and trials. QuADS scores ranged from 13 to 34 out of 39. Preliminary evidence of feasibility and acceptability was strongest for co-produced interventions. Limited evidence of effectiveness was found, except for psychoeducation DHIs which may be effective in reducing ADHD symptoms.

Additionally, increased spatial variability was observed primarily in visual, limbic, subcortical, and cerebellar networks. Notably, these variability patterns correlated with symptom severity in ASD. Utilizing these spatiotemporal variability features, we developed multi-site classification models that achieved high accuracy (81.25%) in identifying ASD.

For the generation of young doctors in psychiatry training programs today, this means they face substantial and potentially overwhelming challenges in their clinical practice. This situation calls for creative solutions in psychiatry training to prepare them best for these challenges. Perspectives of European trainers in child and adolescent psychiatry (CAP) were collected and analysed following an iterative procedure in three rounds using thematic analysis of focus groups. The three iterative rounds resulted in five proposed strategies for meeting the challenges of current and future demand in CAP specifically addressing implications for CAP training. Examples were provided illustrating how these strategies could be put into daily training practices. Four strategies aimed mainly at increasing capacity: efficiency (making best use of the existing CAP workforce); consultation (task-sharing); innovation (practicing differently); and wellbeing of the CAP workforce. An additional strategy focusing on prevention and early intervention was identified to decrease demand upstream. Rethinking CAP training practices through a European perspective on the balance between capacity and demand yielded strategies for aspects of training that are not yet universally applied.

This is a cross-sectional study using repeated data collection from the high school Youth Risk Behavior Surveys (YRBS), involving 45,297 adolescents in the US (49.7% females). Data were collected bi-annually between 2011 and 2021. These surveys represent cross-sectional snapshots rather than a longitudinal study, capturing data at distinct points in time across multiple years. The three 24-h movement guidelines, including guidelines for physical activity, screen time, and sleep duration were assessed by self-reported questions. Depressive symptoms were assessed by the question \"During the past 12 months, did you ever feel so sad or hopeless almost every day for two weeks or more in a row that you stopped doing your usual activities?\" with yes/no answer options. A generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) was employed to gauge the association between adherence to the 24-h movement guidelines (exposure) and the likelihood of having depressive symptoms (outcome). The year of data collection was included as a random intercept in the mixed-effects model to account for potential variations in depressive symptoms across different time points. The model was further adjusted for covariates, including sex, age, race/ethnicity, alcohol and tobacco consumption, school bullying, cyberbullying, and excess weight. Adolescents meeting all three 24-h movement guidelines (physical activity, screen time, and sleep) had the lowest probability of depressive symptoms (21.3%, 95% CI 17.3-25.3%) compared to those meeting none (37.6%, 95% CI 33.4-41.8%). Significant protective effects were observed across all adherence levels (p < 0.05). Over the 2011-2021 period, adherence remained consistently associated with reduced depressive symptoms, with the strongest effects seen in 2019 and 2021. Younger adolescents, males, and White individuals showed the greatest benefits, while females, older adolescents, Black, Hispanic/Latino, and individuals from other racial/ethnic groups exhibited weaker protective effects despite adherence. Findings from the present study highlight the importance of encouraging adherence to 24-h movement guidelines as a potential strategy to reduce depressive symptoms in adolescents.

Repeated measures ANCOVAs and χ² tests of independence were conducted to evaluate changes in problem severity and clinical status, and ANCOVAs were used to compare between-group differences. The results suggest that while overall treatment outcomes were not directly affected by the pandemic, fewer children treated during the pandemic recovered from externalizing problems compared to those treated before the pandemic. Additionally, children treated entirely during the pandemic exhibited higher levels of internalizing and externalizing problems at both the start and end of treatment, and those transitioning into the pandemic also had elevated externalizing problems at both time points.
