Objective measures explain the effects of socioeconomic disparities, but individuals may perceive inequality differently.Aim: We aimed to investigate the association between the perception of economic inequality and depressive symptoms and suicide ideation.Method: We used data from the Survey of Korean Youths' Lives, a nationally representative cross-sectional study of 14 918 young adults aged 19-34 years in South Korea. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the association between perceived economic inequalities (i.e. income inequality and inequality of intergenerational mobility) and depressive symptoms/suicide ideation. Additionally, subgroup analyses were performed based on objective and subjective income levels.Results: Young adults with a high perception of economic inequality were more likely to experience depressive symptoms and suicide ideation. For example, those with a high perception of intergenerational mobility inequality had higher odds of depressive symptoms (odds ratio 1.82, 95% CI 1.49, 2.23) and suicide ideation (odds ratio 1.87, 95% CI 1.35, 2.60). Statistical evidence showed no interaction between the perception of inequalities and income, suggesting that a high perception of inequalities is associated with depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation, regardless of income. Nevertheless, the strongest association with poor mental health was observed in those with high perceived inequality and low income.Conclusions: This study shows that the way young adults perceive economic inequality could affect their depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation. The findings highlight the importance of reducing these perceptions and addressing economic inequalities to improve mental health.","PeriodicalId":9038,"journal":{"name":"BJPsych Open","volume":"11 4","pages":"e148"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12303835/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144625362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More knowledge about patient characteristics that predict treatment outcomes can help personalise interventions, improve treatment planning and address the needs of specific subgroups. The frequency of treatment attendance may also affect drinking outcomes after treatment. Despite research efforts, uncertainty remains about how patient factors and treatment attendance influence treatment outcomes.Aims: To examine how patient factors and treatment attendance predict high- or low-risk drinking at the end of treatment.Method: We used data (N = 92) from a multisite observational study of treatment-seeking individuals with AUD attending group treatment. Sociodemographic measures, alcohol and substance use measures, cognitive functioning, psychological distress, personality functioning and quality of life were screened in univariate analyses. Significant variables were entered into a binary logistic regression model.Results: Individuals with a higher percentage of treatment attendance (odds ratio 0.96 [95% CI 0.93, 0.96]) and with greater responsiblity scores on the Severity Indices of Personality Functioning (odds ratio 0.30 [95% CI 0.14, 0.64]) had a decreased likelihood of high-risk drinking at treatment end. Substance use, psychological distress and cognitive functioning were not associated with drinking levels at the end of treatment.Conclusion: A higher percentage of treatment attendance has a minor effect on drinking levels. Being more responsible, as reflected in higher scores on the responsibility domain, reduces the likelihood of high-risk drinking at the end of treatment. Clinicians are encouraged to screen and assess personality functioning when planning treatment for individuals with AUD.","PeriodicalId":9038,"journal":{"name":"BJPsych Open","volume":"11 4","pages":"e150"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12303829/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144625363","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper we focus on the availability of evidence from systematic reviews.Method: We searched 12 databases and the websites of 18 grief- or bereavement-related organisations. Using key characteristics extracted from included reviews, we produced a high-level overview of the available evidence that enabled potential research gaps to be identified.Results: We identified 212 reviews - 103 focused on people's experiences of grief/bereavement including service use; 22 reported on PGD prevalence, 42 on PGD risk factors, 37 on factors that influence grief more broadly and 80 on the effectiveness of grief-related interventions. Fifty-five reviews focused on multiple issues of interest. Half of reviews focused on a specific cause/type of death (n = 108). Of these reviews, most focused on three main causes/types of death: a specific health condition or terminal illness (n = 36), perinatal loss (n = 34) and suicide (n = 20).Conclusions: We identified a large number of reviews, but key evidence gaps exist, particularly in relation to intervention cost-effectiveness and social, organisational or structural-level interventions that are needed for addressing inequities and other modifiable factors that can impair grieving and potentially increase the risk of PGD.","PeriodicalId":9038,"journal":{"name":"BJPsych Open","volume":"11 4","pages":"e149"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12247072/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144607273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, genetic studies yield mixed results and it is unclear whether the impact of CD33 is specific to Alzheimer's disease or related to broader neurodegenerative processes. Interestingly, CD33 has also been shown to interact with the hepatitis B (HBV) and C viruses (HCV).Aims: This study aims to investigate the effects of CD33 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on cognitive functions across diverse populations, including healthy controls, individuals with chronic HBV or HCV and those diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.Method: We genotyped CD33 SNPs in 563 participants using the Affymetrix platform. Participants' cognitive functions were cross-sectionally assessed using a neuropsychological test battery spanning six domains.Results: Our analysis revealed that CD33 SNP variations had no significant cognitive impact on healthy individuals or Parkinson's disease patients. However, chronic HBV and HCV patients exhibited significant cognitive differences, particularly in memory, related to CD33 SNP genotypes. Moderation analysis indicated a heightened influence of CD33 SNPs on cognitive functions in chronic HBV and HCV individuals. Our data also suggest that inflammation severity may modulate the cognitive effects in hepatitis patients with specific CD33 SNPs.Conclusions: This study highlights the importance of CD33 SNPs in cognitive outcomes, emphasising their role in the context of chronic viral hepatitis. It contributes to understanding the cognitive profiles influenced by CD33 SNPs and posits CD33's potential contribution to neurodegenerative disease progression, potentially intensified by HBV/HCV-induced inflammation.","PeriodicalId":9038,"journal":{"name":"BJPsych Open","volume":"11 4","pages":"e147"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12247067/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144599345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A lack of trust in mainstream support services, which have often accounted poorly for the needs of those communities, contributes to further discrimination and disadvantage.Aims: This study was conducted in 2022, soon after the COVID-19 pandemic, to survey the overall well-being and healthcare needs of UK families with a Black ethnic background.Method: A total of 2124 parents completed an online survey that included measures of psychological well-being, children's difficulties, family healthcare needs and perception of support both before and after the COVID-19 pandemic.Results: Seventy per cent of parents reported high levels of stress, depression and anxiety, and over half identified high emotional and relational difficulties in their children. Higher levels of distress in parents correlated with greater difficulties in children and poorer parent-child relationships. Community support was associated with greater parental well-being and fewer child difficulties. Parents sought support from formal support networks when health issues were perceived as more severe.Conclusions: This study engaged a large sample of families from Black ethnic backgrounds, but recruitment may have been biased by sociodemographic characteristics. Levels of psychological distress were high, possibly due to pre-existing and enduring exposure to difficult life circumstances. Support from community networks was perceived as helpful, especially by those with milder levels of psychological distress. The strong association between parents' and children's well-being suggests that family-focused interventions could be beneficial, especially if culturally adapted.","PeriodicalId":9038,"journal":{"name":"BJPsych Open","volume":"11 4","pages":"e143"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12247070/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144583010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
