This is a preliminary study of the psychometric properties of a new Brief Positive School Experiences (B-PSEs) scale, devised to assess associations between cumulative positive school experiences (PSEs) and adolescent mental health as part of a PhD project that explored PSEs count as a potential proxy measure of adolescent mental health risk.MethodsFive teachers developed a brief 19-item PSEs measure. 460 adolescents (aged 14-16) completed a survey based on these items and items measuring mental health (N = 460). Exploratory factor analysis and measures of internal consistency assessed the scale's preliminary psychometric properties.ResultsThe B-PSEs scale demonstrated a three-factor structure; (1) Coping with school demands; (2) School belonging, safety and support; and (3) Equity and low social adversity. Composite reliability was measured at 0.91.ConclusionThe B-PSEs scale is a reliable measure with a robust factor structure and PSEs scores measured using the scale have demonstrated associations with adolescent mental health outcomes.","PeriodicalId":93938,"journal":{"name":"Clinical child psychology and psychiatry","volume":" ","pages":"13591045251348801"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144562302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nine parents were recruited to complete CALMS from two parenting groups and three participated in feedback interviews. Recruitment was shown to be feasible, and adherence acceptable. Most parents reported that CALMS was easy to use, not burdensome and increased their awareness of their own and their child's behaviours. Feasible and acceptable to parents attending parenting intervention, CALMS may have therapeutic benefits that should be explored in future research.","PeriodicalId":93938,"journal":{"name":"Clinical child psychology and psychiatry","volume":" ","pages":"13591045251354861"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144562303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Spence Children's Anxiety Scale (SCAS), Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), and Child Anxiety Impact Scale (CAIS) were used to assess anxiety symptoms and related outcomes. Systematic random sampling was employed to select participants.InterventionThe therapeutic process consisted of a modified CBT protocol, comprising 16 sessions of 40-45 minutes each. The Coping Cat program was specifically designed to address anxiety symptoms in children.Data AnalysisA linear mixed-effects model was used to analyze the data, accounting for both fixed effects (e.g., time and intervention) and random effects (e.g., individual differences). This approach was particularly suited for the repeated-measures design. A follow-up study was conducted one year after the intervention to assess its long-term effects.ResultsSignificant differences were observed between the treatment and control groups, indicating the efficacy of the Coping Cat program in reducing anxiety symptoms. Notably, treatment gains were maintained at the one-year follow-up.

Less is known about their wellbeing and the overlap between mental health and wellbeing in this population. Drawing on two samples of CEYP, we explored mental health and wellbeing profiles, the overlap between these, and basic predictors of symptom severity.MethodsWe recruited two samples of CEYP: 269 10-13-year-olds and 155 16-17-year-olds, and their primary caregiver. All participants were either in local authority (out-of-home) care or had been adopted from the care system in England and Wales. Participants completed standardised measures of anxiety-, depression-, PTSD-, and externalising symptoms, as well as standardised wellbeing measures.ResultsThe majority of young people in both samples reported clinically-elevated symptomology, with mental health and wellbeing particularly poor in the late adolescents sample. Almost half of the 16-17 year old sample rated their wellbeing as poor. Overall, we found moderate associations between mental health and wellbeing. In early adolescents, these associations were less clear (many with clinically-elevated mental health reported average wellbeing), but for older teens poor mental health was closely related with the poorest reported wellbeing. There was no consistent evidence that age, gender, or ethnicity predicted wellbeing, but mental health was generally the poorest for older teens in residential care placements.ConclusionsWe found high levels of disorder-specific mental health symptomology in CEYP, with 16-17-year-olds having particularly high levels of mental health difficulties and low wellbeing. Results highlight the crucial role of early intervention and prevention in this group, before difficulties become entrenched and affect wider aspects of wellbeing.","PeriodicalId":93938,"journal":{"name":"Clinical child psychology and psychiatry","volume":" ","pages":"611-631"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12179413/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144059543","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}

Methods: A service evaluation using routinely collected data from an intensive community treatment service between 2016 and 2023 was performed. Results: 141 adolescents aged 12 to 17 received intensive community treatment over 8 years. The average treatment duration was 29.2 weeks, significantly longer than the initial 12-week pathway proposed. Those treated for significantly longer seemed to present with more complex mental health needs. Lack of education provision, being part of an ethnic minority or having a higher number of services involved were significantly associated with higher treatment duration (p < .05). Conclusion: Results suggest that a longer treatment pathway might be necessary in intensive community care, so a 24-week treatment pathway was proposed. General functioning also improved over the course of treatment, and 89.4% were discharged back to their local community teams. The involvement of multiple specialist services and the presence of specific diagnoses (e.g., autism) deserve consideration.

This study evaluates risk and protective factors for substance use among high school students. Methods: Using data from the 2022 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, a cross-sectional analysis of 6,072 high school students was conducted. Multivariable logistic regression analyzed associations between substance use (alcohol, tobacco, illicit drugs) and adolescent-specific factors, adjusting for sex, grade, health insurance, and poverty status. Results: Overall, 35.6% of students reported using alcohol, tobacco, or illicit drugs in the past year. Antisocial behavior significantly increased the odds of alcohol (AOR = 2.54, 95% CI = 2.02-3.19), tobacco (AOR = 2.36, 95% CI = 1.92-2.89), and illicit drug use (AOR = 2.66, 95% CI = 2.22-3.19; p < .001).
