There is a clear need to analyze potential differences and similarities between individuals with various sexes, genders, and sexual orientations in psychopathology research. Specifically, we need to stop ignoring sex, gender, and sexual orientation, conduct analyses that go beyond the binary, and analyze these important variables for generalizability even when the primary research question is not about sex, gender, and sexual orientation. In the current study we examined ADHD and internalizing symptoms in a community sample to compare different ways to analyze data and better understand differences and similarities across groups. We predicted that a richer understanding of sex/gender differences would emerge when we compared sex and gender minority (SGM) participants to cisgender heterosexual women (CHW) and men (CHM) rather than conducting binary analyses. Emerging adults (<i>N</i> = 2,938; ages 18-29 years) completed an online survey, responding to demographic items, as well as ADHD and internalizing symptoms. Binary analyses using biological sex and gender identity yielded no differences in ADHD symptoms, and the expected female preponderance in internalizing symptoms. However, when analyzed across three groups, individuals in the SGM group reported higher levels of ADHD and internalizing symptoms compared with the other two groups. Notably, no differences emerged for internalizing symptoms across CHW and CHM when the SGM group was included. This is compelling evidence that analyzing sex, gender, and sexual orientation more systematically and precisely in psychopathology research is warranted.</p>","PeriodicalId":16910,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychopathology and Behavioral Assessment","volume":"47 1","pages":"18"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11946943/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143752829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An important step in harmonization is checking whether there is measurement invariance across populations. This study aimed to examine whether the harmonized scores for anxiety/depression and ADHD obtained by two different instruments (the Child Behaviour Check List (CBCL) and the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ)) are measurement invariant across other countries, languages, and age groups. We used cohorts from Australia (1330 children aged 10-11.5 years), the Netherlands (943 children aged 11-13.5 years) and the United Kingdom (4504 children aged 14-19). We used the Bayesian method for modeling measurement non-invariance proposed by Verhagen and Fox, 2013a that we adapted for using on polytomous items and in a relatively small number of groups (cohorts). Results showed that there is hardly any differential functioning of harmonized anxiety/depression and ADHD scores obtained by CBCL and SDQ across cohorts. The same model that harmonizes measures in Australian 10-year-old children can also be used in cohorts from the UK and the Netherlands.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10862-025-10204-0.</p>","PeriodicalId":16910,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychopathology and Behavioral Assessment","volume":"47 1","pages":"27"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11889055/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143586089","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study utilised a longitudinal case-control design capturing psychosocial data over 18 months, in addition to baseline DNA samples for a parallel genomic analysis. This paper specifically provides an overview of the design and methodology of the wider investigation, and reports baseline characteristics including sociodemographic information and mental health outcome prevalences from this hard-to-reach and under-researched population. Results of baseline analysis suggested that one third (34.88%) of this trauma-exposed sample screened positively for PTSD. Participants endorsed high numbers of potentially traumatic experiences including Forced Displacement (88.61%), Exposure to Severe Human Suffering (53.91%), Combat Exposure (53.02%), and Physical Assault (51.78%). Participants also reported relatively high levels of mental ill-health including depression (29.90%) and anxiety (27.56%). The number of traumas experienced, and the reported comorbid difficulties were generally higher among those who screened positive for PTSD. These preliminary analyses detail the baseline characteristics, and the relative burden of mental ill-health in this trauma-exposed sample. The wider study comprising longitudinal measurement of these conditions has the potential to make a significant contribution to the understanding of risk and resiliency factors for posttraumatic stress in this unique Latin American context.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10862-025-10203-1.</p>","PeriodicalId":16910,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychopathology and Behavioral Assessment","volume":"47 1","pages":"25"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11872984/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143557288","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
