Specifying early childhood phenotypes of suicidality is critical for prevention of suicidal behavior. Such phenotypes need to be culturally relevant and rigorously tested in Black youth to yield data that will inform prevention science. We used the Interpersonal Theory of Suicide, to guide both the development of a theoretical model and a research protocol to conduct a study on suicidality in young Black children. The model was informed by an ecological adaptation which considers the context of structural, systemic, and interpersonal racism as critical for conceptualizing suicidal risk and identifying factors that reduce the likelihood of suicidal ideation and behaviors among Black youth. Developmental adaptations of IPTS components were based on existing research supporting associations between theoretically similar constructs and early childhood depression and/or later suicidality. Model components include loneliness and lack of family connectedness, low self-worth and hopelessness, and impulsivity. The components are measured via questionnaires and reactivity to behavioral probes as measured by facial emotion, heart rate variability, and self-reported mood. Risk and protective factors include exposure to racism and discrimination and racial identity and socialization, respectively. An accelerated, longitudinal design, enrolling 5–9-year-old children for 6 repeated assessments over 45 months will allow us to test stability from early childhood to early adolescence. Conducting robust tests of early risk and stability of suicidality in the context of culturally relevant risk factors (e.g., racism) and protective factors (e.g., racial socialization and identity) will contribute to efforts to reverse recent trends in Black youth suicide.</p>","PeriodicalId":94140,"journal":{"name":"Mental health science","volume":"2 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/mhs2.96","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142764458","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}

This paper presents evidence on risk factors for insufficient recognition and intervention for eating disorders across clinical and community healthcare settings and proposes actionable strategies to improve awareness and early intervention for eating disorders. Specifically, gaps in eating disorder awareness and treatment access are exacerbated at two key intersections within health and social systems. First, eating disorders manifest themselves at the intersection of mental and physical categories of health, which places them at risk of being misunderstood, poorly diagnosed, and insufficiently intervened upon. Second, the peak onset of eating disorders falls at the intersection of adolescence and young adulthood, which is a period of rapid developmental, social change, and transitions in care. This analysis highlights how systemic issues within existing social and health systems underlie these intersections and contribute to the continued stigmatization and inadequate treatment access for eating disorders. Given their increased incidence and severity, there is an urgent need to address both the individual and societal burden of these disorders. Healthcare systems must prioritize coordination between physical and mental health practices and improve transitions in care from pediatric and adult healthcare services. Identifying gaps at intersections provides the opportunity to make concrete progress toward improving awareness and treatment.</p>","PeriodicalId":94140,"journal":{"name":"Mental health science","volume":"2 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/mhs2.94","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142764350","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}

The search was conducted using four electronic databases: PsycINFO, MedLine, Embase, and Web of Science. Two independent reviewers conducted screening, selection, risk of bias assessment and data extraction. Of the initial search of 109 potential studies, eight met inclusion criteria, including six case studies, one quasi-experimental study, and one randomised control trial (RCT). The RCT indicated that including an EMDR component did not have benefits over standard treatment for core ED symptoms, whereas the quasi-experimental study demonstrated some benefits for inclusion of EMDR as a treatment adjunct for anorexia nervosa patients. Case studies indicated some promising outcomes for patients with various presentations. Despite EMDR being an available treatment for several decades now, there is limited clinical evidence regarding its efficacy in the treatment of EDs.

This study examined whether issues in displaced Syrian communities are being contextualized within histories of colonial violence through a public mental health framework, and surveyed the current state of the literature addressing the question: Is the colonial legacy of displaced Syrians related to instances of violence against children? This study adopted a scoping review approach. Searches on 12 medical, psychological, and sociological databases located 1024 unique results that were doubly screened down to seven partially relevant publications. An eighth publication was added through a separate gray literature search. No results fully addressed the research question; eight partially addressed it.

Three connecting themes were identified: colonial powers redefine cultures and identities, subsequent identity challenges arise, and unrecognized colonial underpinnings of issues preclude pathways to justice.

This study also compared women who use cannabis for chronic pain and those who do not across the level of chronic pain, length of chronic pain, and the number of types of chronic pain experienced. Participants showed a significant preference (60%) for using recreational cannabis to treat chronic pain but reported that medical cannabis was more effective. For participants who preferred medical cannabis 24.3% reported daily use, as compared to only 7.8% of recreational cannabis users. Smoking was the most common form of administration (62.1%), followed by edibles (25.3%), vaporizing in any form (7.4%), tinctures and concentrates (3.2%), and topicals (2.1%). Participants reported using 1–6 different forms of cannabis administration. Those who preferred smoking were significantly likely to use all other forms of administration. However, those who preferred alternatives to smoking were significantly likely to use all forms of administration except for smoking.
