Intramuscular haloperidol is frequently used; however oral alternatives may be safer and more tolerated. In many low- and middle-income settings, resource constraints, cultural norms, and emergency department coercion shape agitation prescribing. This study compared the efficacy and safety of oral risperidone plus clonazepam versus injectable haloperidol for psychomotor agitation in primary psychotic patients. In this single-blind, randomized comparative trial, 260 patients (mean age 32.38; 95% CI [31.13-33.64], 119 males and 141 females) with severe psychomotor agitation in a general hospital emergency room were randomly assigned oral risperidone 3 mg plus clonazepam 3 mg (RC) or intramuscular haloperidol 5 mg. Behavioral Activity Rating Scale (BARS) agitation was measured at 30, 1, and 2 hr. The primary outcome was the percentage of patients reported as tranquil (BARS = 4) or tranquil/asleep (BARS = 2-4) at all time points, with an equivalency margin of ±20%. Secondary outcomes included tranquil/tranquil or asleep after 2 hr, restraint use, adverse effects (during the 2 hr of assessment), and necessity of additional medication after 1 hr. RC and IH were equally tranquil or sleeping at all time points for primary outcomes (adjusted ARR 9 percentage points, 95% CI -1.8 to +19.8). Neither tranquility at 2 hr nor extra medication were equal for secondary outcomes (adjusted ARR 15 p.p., 95% CI [1.35, 28.65]). At 2 hr, tranquil or asleep, restraint utilization, and side effects were equivalent. In conclusion, besides oral risperidone plus clonazepam met the prespecified criterion for equivalence to intramuscular haloperidol for the primary composite outcomes of maintaining tranquility or tranquility/asleep at all time-points during the 2-hr observation period, the equivalence was not demonstrated for all secondary outcomes. The oral regimen was associated with a greater need for additional medication. Therefore, the two regimens should not be considered fully interchangeable in all emergency presentations. We found that oral techniques may enable more humane, less invasive, and culturally acceptable emergency care in LMICs due to the social burden of injectable medication, which typically requires restraint.</p>","PeriodicalId":14304,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Social Psychiatry","volume":" ","pages":"207640261478551"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148857241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While childhood adversity is well established as a risk factor for later psychological difficulties, the specific association between childhood exposure to PPAU and anxiety and depression in adulthood remains insufficiently understood.AimsThis study aimed to systematically review and quantitatively synthesize existing evidence on the association between childhood exposure to PPAU and anxiety and depression outcomes in adulthood.MethodA systematic search was conducted in Medline, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library. Studies were screened using predefined inclusion criteria. Thirty-two studies met eligibility criteria, of which twenty-nine were included in the meta-analyses. Random-effects models were used to calculate pooled standardized mean differences (SMDs) and odds ratios (ORs) for anxiety and depression outcomes.ResultsThe findings indicated a significant association between childhood exposure to PPAU and increased risk of anxiety and depression in adulthood. For anxiety, the pooled SMD was 0.37, and pooled ORs indicated a 73% higher likelihood of anxiety among individuals exposed to PPAU. For depression, the pooled SMD was 0.29, with pooled ORs suggesting a 65% increased likelihood of depressive symptoms. Although effect sizes were attenuated in studies adjusting for confounding variables, associations remained statistically significant.ConclusionsChildhood exposure to PPAU is associated with an increased risk of anxiety and depression in adulthood. However, the available evidence suggests that these associations may be partly explained by co-occurring childhood adversities and broader family dysfunction. Consequently, PPAU may represent one component of a broader constellation of childhood risk factors associated with adverse adult mental health outcomes. Taken together, these findings underscore the importance of early identification and family-focused preventive interventions for children exposed to parental alcohol problems.</p>","PeriodicalId":14304,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Social Psychiatry","volume":" ","pages":"207640261478546"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148850706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
