Using Ecological Momentary Assessment to Assess Family Functioning in Spanish-Speaking Parent and Adolescent Dyads: Daily Questionnaire Study

Using Ecological Momentary Assessment to Assess Family Functioning in Spanish-Speaking Parent and Adolescent Dyads: Daily Questionnaire Study

Capturing the dynamic changes in family functioning via EMAs could lead to adaptive intervention messaging based on daily reported family functioning, which in turn influences parent-adolescent family functioning and ultimately, adolescent behavioral outcomes.

Smartphone Ecological Momentary Assessment and Wearable Activity Tracking in Pediatric Depression: Cohort Study

Smartphone Ecological Momentary Assessment and Wearable Activity Tracking in Pediatric Depression: Cohort Study

Adolescent depression is a significant mental health crisis; 14.7% of the adolescent population reports at least one major depressive episode with severe impairment [1]. This trend predates the COVID-19 pandemic [2] and has continued apace [3]. The impact of adolescent depression is severe; a depressive episode leads to immediate debilitating effects plus long-term consequences [4], for example, impaired academic performance [5] and challenges in forming interpersonal relationships [6].

The Role of Early Engagement in a Self-Directed, Digital Mental Health Intervention for Adolescent Anxiety: Moderated Regression Analysis

The Role of Early Engagement in a Self-Directed, Digital Mental Health Intervention for Adolescent Anxiety: Moderated Regression Analysis

In another study on the BRAVE Self-Help program, an open-access CBT d MH program for child and adolescent anxiety, only 30% of the 4425 children and adolescents completed more than three sessions, with the greatest clinical improvements made by those users completing at least 6 of 10 sessions [4].

An Exergames Program for Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes: Qualitative Study of Acceptability

An Exergames Program for Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes: Qualitative Study of Acceptability

Numerous changes that occur during the adolescent years present unique challenges to youths with type 1 diabetes (T1 D). During this time, youths experience multiple psychosocial obstacles, including depression, anxiety, diabetes-specific emotional distress, and diabetes stigma [1]. Furthermore, adolescents have the highest glucose levels of any age group with T1 D [2], which put them at greater risk of developing long-term diabetes complications (blindness, kidney failure, and cardiovascular disease).

Co-Designed Online Training Program for Worry Management: The Role of Young People With Lived Experience of Worry in Program Development

Co-Designed Online Training Program for Worry Management: The Role of Young People With Lived Experience of Worry in Program Development

Ten LEAP members (aged 16‐25 y; female n=8, male n=2) who self-identified as worriers were recruited from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) in South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (SLa M) and a Digital Research Advisory Group in Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust. JS and CRH presented the LEAP opportunity at the Digital Research Advisory Group meeting and asked young people to make contact via email if they were interested in contributing to the project.

Association Between Excessive Internet Use Time, Internet Addiction, and Physical-Mental Multimorbidity Among Chinese Adolescents: Cross-Sectional Study

Association Between Excessive Internet Use Time, Internet Addiction, and Physical-Mental Multimorbidity Among Chinese Adolescents: Cross-Sectional Study

Based on available medical examination and questionnaire data and the previous study [2], a wide range of adolescent diseases was considered to define physical-mental multimorbidity. Ultimately, physical conditions examined in this study comprised hypertension, obesity, myopia, and dental caries, while mental morbidity was indicated by the presence of depressive symptoms.

Peer Relationships Are a Direct Cause of the Adolescent Mental Health Crisis: Interpretable Machine Learning Analysis of 2 Large Cohort Studies

Peer Relationships Are a Direct Cause of the Adolescent Mental Health Crisis: Interpretable Machine Learning Analysis of 2 Large Cohort Studies

This result captures a certain stability of mental health problems during adolescence, but the contribution of other factors to the predictions shows that the development of adolescent mental health depends on multiple determinants that go beyond a mere “autoregressive” continuation of baseline mental health problems. Among family factors, mental health problems of the parents were strongly related to mental health problems in their adolescent children.

Likelihood of Leveraging Augmented Reality Technology to Promote HIV Prevention and Treatment Among Adolescent Girls and Young Women in Cameroon: Cross-Sectional Survey

Likelihood of Leveraging Augmented Reality Technology to Promote HIV Prevention and Treatment Among Adolescent Girls and Young Women in Cameroon: Cross-Sectional Survey

In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), the most vulnerable population for HIV is adolescent girls and young women [1]. Among adolescent girls and young women globally, 4 out of every 5 newly diagnosed HIV cases occur in SSA [2,3]. Cameroon, a lower-middle-income country with a population of 29 million, has the highest HIV prevalence rate in West Central Africa. Women, particularly those aged 15‐49 years, are disproportionately affected by the virus [4-7].

SEARCH Study: Text Messages and Automated Phone Reminders for HPV Vaccination in Uganda: Randomized Controlled Trial

SEARCH Study: Text Messages and Automated Phone Reminders for HPV Vaccination in Uganda: Randomized Controlled Trial

Such reminders have also been used for pediatric vaccination studies in African countries such as Kenya and Nigeria [20-25], and in three other non-African low- or middle-income countries (LMIC) [26-28], but not for adolescent vaccines including HPV vaccine. Adolescent vaccination patterns, knowledge, and perceptions differ from those for pediatric vaccination, and interventions in high-income versus low- or middle-income countries also differ [29].
