Socioeconomic and sex inequalities in parent-reported adolescent mental ill-health: time trends in four British birth cohorts / Eoin MCELROY in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 64-5 (May 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 64-5 (May 2023) . - p.758-767 Titre : Socioeconomic and sex inequalities in parent-reported adolescent mental ill-health: time trends in four British birth cohorts Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Eoin MCELROY, Auteur ; Marc TIBBER, Auteur ; Pasco FEARON, Auteur ; Praveetha PATALAY, Auteur ; George B. PLOUBIDIS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.758-767 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Studies using symptom-based screeners have suggested that mental ill-health has increased in adolescents in recent decades, however, few studies have tested the equivalence of their instruments, which is critical for inferring changes in prevalence. In addition, little research has explored whether socioeconomic position (SEP) and sex inequalities in adolescent mental health have changed over time. Methods Using structural equation modelling, we explored SEP and sex differences in harmonised parent reports of emotional and behavioural problems, using data from four UK birth cohorts: the 1958 National Child Development Study (NCDS'58; n = 10,868), the 1970 British Cohort Study (BCS'70; n = 8,242), the 1991-92 Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC'91; n = 5,389), and the 2000-01 Millennium Cohort Study (MCS'01; n = 9,338). Results Compared with the two earliest cohorts, members of MCS'01 had higher latent mean scores on emotional problems (both sexes), and lower scores on behavioural problems (females only). The associations between four indicators of SEP and emotional problems were strongest in MCS'01, with housing tenure having the strongest association. All four SEP indicators were associated with behavioural problems in each cohort, with housing tenure again more strongly associated with problems in the MCS'01. Mediation analyses suggested that the increase in emotional problems occurred despite broadly improving socioeconomic conditions. Conclusions Our findings suggest that parent reports of adolescent emotional problems, but not behavioural problems, have risen in recent generations and this trend is not solely due to reporting styles. A failure to address widening social inequalities may result in further increases in mental ill-health amongst disadvantaged young people.

The Network Structure of Irritability and Aggression in Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder / Tomoya HIROTA in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 50-4 (April 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 50-4 (April 2020) . - p.1210-1220 Titre : The Network Structure of Irritability and Aggression in Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Tomoya HIROTA, Auteur ; Marie K. DESERNO, Auteur ; Eoin MCELROY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1210-1220 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Aggression  Autism spectrum disorder  Bridge symptoms  Irritability  Network analysis Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Irritability and aggression (IA) are highly prevalent in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Although clinical correlates of IA in this population have been previously examined, findings from existing studies capturing symptoms as a set of latent variables do not fully explain meaningful associations between the symptoms themselves. In the present study, we conducted network analysis which conceptualizes mental health difficulties as a complex network of directly associated symptoms in 2612 individuals who were diagnosed with ASD through rigorous diagnostic assessment and who were enrolled in the Simons Simplex Collection. Using the Aberrant Behavior Checklist, a validated scale, we investigated the network structure of IA and tried to identify bridge symptoms that link IA and other symptom domains. In our analysis, irritability symptoms had stronger and more direct associations with other nodes than aggression symptoms did. Additionally, depressed mood and oppositionality were identified to function as bridge symptoms. The network structures did not differ between individuals with and without intellectual disability. Our findings indicate that addressing these bridge symptoms through integrated care combining different modalities of treatment could ease the complicated symptom network and thereby reduce IA symptoms in individuals with ASD.
