Co-occurrence of problematic cannabis use, and PTSD is associated with greater PTSD symptom severity, decreased likelihood of cannabis use cessation, worse clinical outcomes, and increased societal burden. Despite increased screening efforts among veterans, there are no effective strategies for predicting risk for PTSD and problematic drug use escalation before these conditions develop, worsen, or become chronic.

This is the first study to objectively measure two dimensions of emotion, physiological arousal and emotional valence, while children received behavioral intervention for feeding difficulties. Data collectors used a new open-source data collection software, <i>cometrics</i>, developed to synchronize and record physiological and observational data. Physiological data was collected using a wearable biosensor and observers recorded an index of child happiness, unhappiness, or neither using definitions by Phipps et al.

All children assented to wearing the device during data collection. Recorded indices mapped to separable physiological states using electrodermal activity and its constituent components, skin conductance responses and skin conductance level, in addition to skin temperature. Findings demonstrated the feasibility of measuring two dimensions of child emotions during behavioral feeding intervention and revealed that children's physiological responses were distinctly different during intervals scored as happy, unhappy, or neither.

Such warning signals occur when a person's repeatedly assessed emotions exceed a control limit. This control limit should in principle be based on the same person's emotions in a healthy period. As such data are often unavailable, this preregistered study investigated whether general population data can be used instead to estimate control limits. We used data from the HowNutsAreTheDutch study, in which adults from the general population (<i>N</i> = 746) rated their emotions three times a day for 1 month. Based on these data, we computed control limits according to the exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) and Shewhart SPC methods. Next, we investigated how often young adults with versus without persistent mental health problems from the TRAILS TRANS-ID study (<i>N</i> = 100)–who rated their emotions daily for 6 months–reported scores beyond these general population-based control limits. Generally, warning signals occurred more often in young adults with persistent mental health problems compared to healthy young adults (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.05). The predictive performance of SPC did not consistently improve when control limits were conditioned on individuals' age, sex, and depressive symptoms, nor differ between methods (EWMA vs. Shewhart). The different emotions that were monitored, however, affected SPC performance, so that for most settings, warning signs in feeling tired and upset were worse for detecting mental-ill health compared to warning signs in other emotions (e.g., feeling nervous, relaxed, etc.).  It follows that warning signs in individual's emotions can perhaps be monitored using relatively generic norms, derived from the general population, opening up new avenues for research and low-threshold clinical application.</p>","PeriodicalId":94140,"journal":{"name":"Mental health science","volume":"2 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/mhs2.72","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141361992","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}

Information on sociodemographics was obtained and anthropometric measurements were self-reported. The Eating Attitude Test was modified to obtain the prevalence rate. The factors associated with EDs and the relationship between sociodemographics and EDs were also assessed using a chi-square statistical test. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the association between sociodemographic variables and ED risk. A total of 1101 students participated in the study with a mean age of 21.87 ± 2.94, ranging from 16 to 43 years. About 7% of the students were found to have EDs, with the majority being female young adults. Factors found to influence EDs were peer/family pressure, stress, and body dissatisfaction. The association between psychological factors and EDs was found to be statistically significant (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.05).
