This study examines the relationship between CSA, sexual trade and exchange (STE), and common mental health problems (MHPs) among 335 adolescents (aged 12-20) as part of a larger study on adolescents in Norwegian residential youth care (RYC). We investigated the mediating role of STE in the relationship between CSA and MHPs, such as anxiety, depression, and substance abuse, using the Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Assessment (CAPA). We found that STE mediated the relationship between CSA and substance abuse. CSA was directly associated with anxiety and depression, while STE was significantly associated with anxiety, but not with depression.

Results revealed better source memory in high abuse than low abuse groups and inverse relationships with ACEs and anxiety and depression levels. Grit, particularly sustained effort, reduced perceived threat credibility and mediated the relationship between ACEs and mental health, with higher ACEs associated with lower grit, and lower grit linked to increased anxiety and depression.

This cross-sectional exploratory survey among Bhutanese adolescents (students aged 13-21 years) aimed to estimate ACEs prevalence and build Random Forest (RF) and Multiple Logistic Regression (MLR) models to identify specific ACEs influencing Bhutanese adolescents' suicidal ideation (SI). The study employed the Adverse Childhood Experiences International Questionnaire (ACE-IQ), excluding items related to war and collective violence. A total of 751 adolescents (42.7% male, 57.3% female, mean age = 15.6) were selected through a stratified two-stage sampling method. The findings revealed that ACEs were more prevalent among adolescents from Bhutan`s Western region, male adolescents, and those aged 16-18 years. The prevalence of SI in the sampled population was 11.1%. Classification RF analysis, Variable Selection using Random Forest (VSURF) technique, and MLR analysis identified bullying victimisation and sexual abuse (SA) as the ACEs most significantly associated with adolescents` SI. These findings emphasise the critical need for targeted, evidence-based interventions to mitigate the effects of such ACEs. Currently, efforts to prevent and address such ACEs are under way but require strengthening to ensure their effectiveness. This study provides actionable recommendations for prevention and management of such ACEs, drawing on insights from Western countries. Recommendations for future research include examining ancillary factors contributing to regional variations in ACE prevalence and examining the ancillary factors linking bullying, SA, and SI.

Mediation analyses indicated that attachment avoidance and low emotional competence mediated the relationship between CSA and all intimacy indicators. Interestingly, attachment anxiety was positively related to general intimacy but negatively associated with bodily self-disclosure.

The present study addressed this knowledge gap by examining multiple factor domains for caregivers (e.g., caregivers' assessment beliefs, mental health, demographics) that might play a role in these discrepancies. Participants were 57 caregivers (<i>M</i> _age = 33.72; 96.5% biological mothers; 61.4% Black/African American) of pre-school and school-age children who completed an interview and questionnaire ALE assessment, as well as measures of mental health challenges and research participation beliefs (e.g., positive experience, privacy, research rights). Concordance between formats at the participant level was mostly in the moderate range. Results suggested that participants were more likely to believe they could exercise their research rights (e.g., know they could terminate the assessment at any time) during the interview format relative to questionnaire format. Caregiver mental health, race-congruence with the interviewer, and participation beliefs were not significantly associated with total agreement. However, participants from lower federal poverty levels tended to demonstrate lower agreement between formats, compared to participants from higher federal poverty levels. Taken together, these findings highlight the need for dual approaches to assess ALEs in children when relying on caregiver report, as well as to ensure the aspects of the ALE administration procedure (including before and after the ALE assessment) are similar across assessment formats. This may be especially important when working with families from low-income backgrounds to improve detection of ALEs in young children.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s40653-026-00817-2.</p>","PeriodicalId":44763,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Child & Adolescent Trauma","volume":"19 1","pages":"235-247"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13004759/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147500198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent years have witnessed the emergence of evidence on positive post-traumatic growth, especially an increase in empathy and prosocial behaviour. But the relationship between factors of childhood trauma and empathy remains ambiguous. Applying The Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, The Toronto Alexithymia Scale, The Questionnaire of Cognitive and Affective Empathy and The Empathy Quotient to measure, this study investigated the relationships amongst childhood trauma, alexithymia, and empathy in a sample of 1004 Chinese adults (female: 487, males: 517). Undirected network and Bayesian network were illustrated and tested. The results of network analysis showed that childhood trauma was negatively correlated with cognitive empathy, but not with emotional empathy. At the same time, Bayesian network suggested the most predictive effect of alexithymia in the whole network. Traumatic childhood experiences may have a negative impact on an individual's ability to identify and express self-emotions, thereby empathize. In the quest to improve empathic abilities among individuals suffered from childhood trauma, alexithymia might serve as a promising target for intervention.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at https://doi.org/10.1007/s40653-026-00837-y.</p>","PeriodicalId":44763,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Child & Adolescent Trauma","volume":"19 3","pages":"1153-1165"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13546217/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148901246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing from recent Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) and applied practice, this conceptual review synthesizes evidence showing that MBIs reduce Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms, improve emotional regulation, and strengthen relational trust. The paper highlights the need for culturally responsive adaptations that align mindfulness practices with the lived experiences and values of racially and ethnically diverse foster youth. Evidence from school-based, digital, and community programs demonstrates that integrating mindfulness into child welfare and educational systems can promote self-awareness, empowerment, and psychological well-being. Attention is given to long-term outcomes, including the potential for sustained improvements in self-concept, coping, and relational functioning. The article concludes with implementation strategies and policy directions to embed trauma-informed, culturally grounded MBIs within foster care settings.
