Titre : Association between depression diagnosis and educational attainment trajectories: an historical cohort study using linked data Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Alice WICKERSHAM, Auteur ; Ben CARTER, Auteur ; Amelia JEWELL, Auteur ; Tamsin FORD, Auteur ; Robert STEWART, Auteur ; Johnny DOWNS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1617-1627 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Depression symptoms are thought to be associated with lower educational attainment, but patterns of change in attainment among those who receive a clinical diagnosis of depression at any point during childhood and adolescence remain unclear. Methods We conducted a secondary analysis of an existing data linkage between a national educational dataset (National Pupil Database) and pseudonymised electronic health records (Clinical Record Interactive Search) from a large mental healthcare provider in London, United Kingdom (2007 to 2013). A cohort of 222,027 pupils were included. We used Growth Mixture Modelling (GMM) and stakeholder input to estimate trajectories of standardised educational attainment over School Years 2, 6 and 11. Multinomial logistic regression analyses were then used to investigate the association between resulting educational attainment trajectory membership (outcome) and depression diagnosis any time before age 18 (exposure). Results A five-trajectory GMM solution for attainment was derived: (1) average/high-stable, (2) average-modest declining, (3) average-steep declining, (4) low-improving and (5) low-stable. After adjusting for clinical and sociodemographic covariates, having a depression diagnosis before age 18 was associated with occupying the average-modest declining trajectory (RRR = 2.80, 95% CI 2.36-3.32, p<.001) or the average-steep declining trajectory (RRR = 3.54, 95% CI 3.10-4.04, p<.001), as compared to the average/high-stable trajectory. Conclusions Receiving a diagnosis of depression before age 18 was associated with a relative decline in attainment throughout school. While these findings cannot support a causal direction, they nonetheless suggest a need for timely mental health and educational support among pupils struggling with depression.

Titre : Barriers to the identification of children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kapil SAYAL, Auteur ; Robert GOODMAN, Auteur ; Tamsin FORD, Auteur Année de publication : 2006 Article en page(s) : p.744–750 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ADHD help-seeking parental-recognition-of-problems service-contact Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: In most countries, the majority of children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are undiagnosed. In the United Kingdom, a major barrier to accessing specialist services is the limited recognition of disorders by general practitioners. However, it is unclear whether there are also barriers at other stages of the help-seeking process. For children with ADHD, this study aims to examine the correlates of the different stages of help-seeking.
Method: Children with ADHD (n = 232) were identified from the 1999 British Child and Adolescent Mental Health Survey. Rates and correlates of parental recognition of child mental health problems and contact with services for these problems were examined. Children who had used particular types of services were compared with those who had not.
Results: Most (80%) parents of children with ADHD recognise that their child has a problem although few (35%) construe this in terms of hyperactivity. The impact of the symptoms on key adults, rather than child factors, best predicted parental recognition of problems. Most parents had been in contact with education-based professionals but few had consulted primary care for these problems or had sought help from relevant specialist health services. Parental recognition of problems and perceived burden, rather than child factors, were the main correlates of contact with services. Parental views that their child has hyperactivity were associated with greater severity of symptoms.
Conclusions: The main barrier to care for ADHD is the limited presentation of these problems to primary care. The majority of parents discuss their concerns with professionals based in education services. There is a need for parental education about ADHD and for health service input to support education professionals in their contact with concerned parents.En ligne : http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1469-7610.2005.01553.x Permalink : https://www.cra-rhone-alpes.org/cid/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=759

Titre : Characteristics of children with a psychiatric disorder in 1999, 2004 and 2017: an analysis of the national child mental health surveys of England : Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jessica M. ARMITAGE, Auteur ; Tamsin NEWLOVE-DELGADO, Auteur ; Tamsin FORD, Auteur ; Sally McManus, Auteur ; Stephan COLLISHAW, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.167-177 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Child mental health psychiatric disorder secular change time trends functioning Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background While research has described the profile of children with poor mental health, little is known about whether this profile and their needs have changed over time. Our aim was to investigate whether levels of difficulties and functional impact faced by children with a psychiatric disorder have changed over time, and whether sociodemographic and family correlates have changed. Methods Samples were three national probability surveys undertaken in England in 1999, 2004 and 2017 including children aged 5?15?years. Psychiatric disorders were assessed using the Development and Well-Being Assessment (DAWBA), a standardised multi-informant diagnostic tool based on the tenth International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). The impact and difficulties of having a disorder (emotional, behavioural or hyperkinetic) were compared over time using total difficulty and impact scores from the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Analyses explored the impact of having any disorder, as well as for each disorder separately. Regression analyses compared associations between disorders and sociodemographic factors over time. Results Parent- and adolescent-reported total SDQ difficulty and impact scores increased between 1999 and 2017 for children and adolescents with disorders. No differences were noted when using teacher ratings. No differences in total SDQ difficulty score were found for children without a disorder. Comparison of sociodemographic correlates across the surveys over time revealed that ethnic minority status, living in rented accommodation and being in the lowest income quintile had a weaker association with disorder in 2017 compared to 1999. Conclusions Our study reveals a concerning trend; children with a disorder in 2017 experienced more severe difficulties and greater impact on functioning at school, home and in their daily lives, compared to children with a disorder in earlier decades. Research is needed to identify and understand factors that may explain the changing nature and level of need among children with a disorder.

Titre : Children's perceptions of neighbourhood trustworthiness and safety and their mental health Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Howard MELTZER, Auteur ; Robert GOODMAN, Auteur ; Tamsin FORD, Auteur ; Panos VOSTANIS, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : p.1208–1213 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Childhood psychopathology neighbourhood trust safety Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: Many studies have described associations between adult psychiatric disorder among adults and their biographic, socio-demographic and social capital characteristics. Fewer studies have focused on children, and most of these have looked at structural indicators of the neighbourhood. Our objective was to examine one aspect of social capital – perceived neighbourhood trust and safety in relation to childhood psychopathology.
Methods: Data on childhood psychopathology and perceived neighbourhood trust and safety were obtained on 3,340 11 to 16-year-olds included in a large survey of the mental health carried out in 426 postal sectors in Great Britain. Data were collected on biographic and socio-demographic characteristics of the child and the family, measures of social capital and neighbourhood prosperity. We entered all these variables into a logistic regression analysis to establish the strength of association between perceived neighbourhood trust and safety separately for emotional and conduct disorders.
Results: Children's perception of their neighbourhoods in terms of the trustworthiness or honesty of the people who live there or feeling safe walking alone had a strong association with childhood psychopathology, particularly emotional disorders, rather than the nature of the neighbourhood itself. Children's behaviour, however, such as going to the park or shops alone, did not vary by measures of childhood psychopathology.
Conclusions: Regeneration of less prosperous neighbourhoods is likely to increase children's positive perceptions of trust, honesty and safety which in turn can have a positive effect on their mental health.En ligne : http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1469-7610.2007.01800.x Permalink : https://www.cra-rhone-alpes.org/cid/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=309

Methods The British Child and Adolescent Mental Health Surveys (BCAMHS) identified children aged 5–15 with a psychiatric disorder, and their use of health, education and social care services. Service costs were estimated for each child and weighted to estimate the overall economic impact at national level. Results Additional health, social care and education costs associated with child psychiatric disorders totalled £1.47bn in 2008. The lion's share of the costs falls to frontline education and special education services. Conclusions There are huge costs to the public sector associated with child psychiatric disorder, particularly the education system. There is a pressing need to explore ways to reduce these costs while improving health and well-being.
