Summary: Autistic people faced significant barriers in accessing COVID-19 services, with issues including lack of testing access, inaccessible treatment services, and discriminatory exclusion from ICU triage protocols. Interruptions to standard health and social care left over 70% of autistic people without everyday support, exacerbating existing healthcare inequalities for this population.

Summary: The study found that young people in out-of-home care experience both positive and negative aspects, with carers being their primary source of support. Those with more significant mental health difficulties often feel unsupported and may engage in self-harm. Only a minority have accessed formal mental health support and opinions on its usefulness are mixed.

Summary: This study aims to examine the prognosis of ADHD, within-country variation in ADHD diagnoses and medication rates, and causal effects of being diagnosed with ADHD and receiving ADHD medication on long-term outcomes. The study links several nationwide Norwegian registries and utilizes survival analysis, mixed-effects models, and preference-based instrumental variables for analysis. The project has been approved by the Regional Ethics Committee, and results will be disseminated through open-access journals and conferences.

Summary: The presence of distinct child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) and adult mental health services (AMHS) impacts the continuity of mental health treatment for young people. However, the extent of discontinuity of care in Europe and its effects on the mental health of young people are unknown. Current research is limited by retrospective studies and small sample sizes. The MILESTONE study aims to examine associations between service use, mental health, and other outcomes over a 24-month period.

Summary: This research project proposes a dimensional, multilayered perspective to study maladaptive personality development in youth. The project, called 'APOLO', is designed based on an integrative three-layered model of personality development and assesses the interaction between dispositional traits, characteristic adaptations, narrative identity, and functioning. The study aims to contribute to the understanding of personality pathology, as well as provide directions for early detection and timely interventions. The research involves longitudinal data collection of self-report and informant-report questionnaires and interviews, and the analysis will be conducted using structural equation modeling. The results will be disseminated through various channels, including conferences, peer-reviewed journals, and media platforms.

Summary: Neurodevelopmental disorders often face barriers in accessing clinical genetics evaluation and testing. However, the establishment of a collaborative psychiatric-genetics consultation service and outpatient clinic has significantly improved care delivery for patients with these disorders. Two years after its launch, this pilot program has shown improved access to genetics evaluation, shorter wait times, and decreased loss to follow-up. Importantly, new genetic diagnoses have resulted in changes in medical care for the majority of patients.

Summary: The contraceptive prevalence among parenting adolescent girls in sub-Saharan Africa is generally low, especially in West and Central African countries. Factors like increasing age, being married, higher education levels, and media exposure are associated with higher odds of contraceptive use, while a preference for more children is related to lower likelihood of use. Significant heterogeneity is observed at the country-level disaggregated results.

PPCCs who called seven or more times were more likely to have medical degrees and specialize in pediatrics.

Summary: This study evaluated the validity and reliability of ICD-10 codes for hypochondriasis and dysmorphophobia in the Swedish National Patient Register. The results showed that these codes are sufficiently valid and reliable for register-based studies, but caution should be taken in interpreting the results due to a possible over-representation of severe and highly impaired cases in the register.
