Summary: This study reveals that parental mental health problems and substance abuse are not direct safety threats leading to child removal, but rather the unmet needs of the child play a significant role in explaining why children are at higher risk of being removed from their homes. The importance of timely resource referrals is underscored as it can potentially reduce the risk of child removal in these cases.

Summary: Socioeconomic disparities impact parental beliefs about early investments in children, with higher SES parents more likely to believe in its impact on child development. Randomized controlled trials show that parental beliefs about child development are malleable, and interventions aimed at changing these beliefs can improve parent-child interactions and enhance children's skills.

Summary: This study aimed to understand how healthcare professionals can support school personnel and affected adolescent students by exploring the experiences of school personnel. The findings revealed that school personnel perceived extreme shifts in adolescent behavior, recognized the need for trusted adults and addressed adolescents' expression of familial shame. They also expressed a desire for evidence-based substance use disorder (SUD) resources and feelings of helplessness related to students' home situations. The study highlighted the need for enhanced communication between school personnel and mental health providers, as well as wider utilization of school-based mental health resources to address the gaps in care for youth impacted by familial substance abuse.

Summary: Epidemiological evidence suggests a positive association between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and juvenile justice system contact in the United States, with higher ACE scores leading to increased risk of contact. Prevention programs targeting ACEs may help reduce juvenile justice system contacts and improve child and adolescent health.

Summary: This study found that young adults with parental mental illness are more likely to experience emotional abuse, domestic violence, bullying, and cumulative adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) compared to those without parental mental illness. Living in rural areas and having a low household economic status during childhood were identified as risk factors for cumulative ACEs, while a higher education level of the mother was a protective factor.

Among foreign-born refugee adolescents in Sweden, the longer they have resided in the country, the higher their utilization of psychiatric care. Children who obtained residency as asylum seekers utilized psychiatric care more than those who settled in family reunification.

Summary: The study found that international adoptees and former child refugees have a higher risk of non-affective psychotic disorders compared to the Swedish-born population. The risk of NAPD in international adoptees is influenced by the age at adoption, while the age at residency does not affect the risk of NAPD in refugees.

Summary: This study compares the health outcomes of young adult child refugees settled in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, exploring the impact of different immigration and integration policy contexts. The study finds that refugee men in Denmark have higher risks for mortality, disability/illness pension, psychiatric care, and substance misuse compared to native-born majority Danish men, while refugee women generally have similar or better health outcomes than native-born majority women. The findings suggest potential sex differentials and the influence of integration policies on health outcomes.
