Summary: This study described patients admitted for attempted or completed suicide during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results showed that firearms and cutting/piercing were the most common methods of self-harm. Alcohol use was also prevalent among these patients. There is a need for interventions to prevent suicide and substance abuse during pandemic situations.

Summary: Offspring who have lost a parent to suicide or deaths from accidents such as falls, poisoning, and drowning have a significantly increased risk of hospital-treated deliberate self-harm (DSH) compared to those who have not experienced such loss. However, parental bereavement from transport accidents and other external causes were not associated with increased risks of hospital-treated DSH.

Summary: The study found an association between childhood family structure and offspring health over a 46-year follow-up period. Offspring from single-parent families had higher rates of conditions like type 2 diabetes, psychoactive drug problems, and sexually transmitted diseases compared to those from two-parent families. Individuals affected by parental death were also more likely to experience certain health issues, like back diseases in men and hypertension and ovary infections in women, than those from two-parent families.

Summary: There is existing empirical literature on the psychosocial health and wellbeing of parents and offspring born at an advanced parental age. However, there are discrepancies in defining who is an advanced parental age parent and an imbalance in the empirical evidence for different participant groups. The studies show a trend towards finding increased risks of neuro-developmental and psychotic disorders among offspring, but the observed advantages and disadvantages are difficult to compare.

Summary: The aim of this study is to compare the prevalence of physically self-destructive behavior in the offspring of parents with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and parents with other personality disorders (OPD). The results suggest that children of BPD parents are more likely to engage in self-injury and substance abuse compared to children of OPD parents, indicating a higher prevalence of self-destructive behavior among the former group.

Summary: This study aims to explore early obesity prevention interventions by analyzing their behavior change strategies and components. Through comprehensive systematic searches and coding, the researchers will summarize the characteristics of the interventions and compare the applied behavior change techniques for different target behaviors. The findings of this study could provide effective intervention components for the prevention of childhood obesity.

Summary: Behavioural interventions in early life show some effect in reducing childhood overweight and obesity, but their overall effectiveness and differential effects among subgroups remain uncertain. This article presents a protocol for a systematic review with individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of obesity prevention interventions starting antenatally or in the first year after birth, and to explore differential effects among key subgroups.

Summary: This study examined suicide-related tweets on Twitter based on user influence levels and found that high-influence users tended to post more problematic content related to suicide, while all users generally lacked protective content. These results emphasize the need for further research and potential intervention.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to unprecedented health threats and changes in social life. An analysis of tweets from 18 countries and six different languages showed a rapid increase in anxiety-related expressions after the start of outbreaks, which gradually relaxed once stringent measures were in place. Sadness terms increased and anger terms decreased with the stringency of measures, while positive emotion words only slightly decreased in a few countries.

Summary: This study is the first large-scale exploration of the association between the quantity of suicide prevention-related content on Twitter and help-seeking behavior and suicide cases. The results showed that tweets about prevention were positively associated with calls for help and negatively associated with suicides. In addition, the total number of tweets was negatively associated with calls for help and positively associated with suicide cases.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of different narrative constructs on subsequent suicides by examining the change in suicide counts over time in Toronto, Canada. The results showed that harmful narratives about suicides in celebrities and non-celebrities with described methods were associated with more subsequent suicides, while protective narratives about survival and crisis mastery without depictions of suicidal behaviors were associated with fewer subsequent suicides.

Summary: This study conducted a web-based randomized controlled trial to examine the effects of different portrayals of suicide in news articles on public perceptions. The findings suggest that articles that attribute suicide to a single cause or exclusively to social factors tend to lead to the acceptance of these misconceptions. Therefore, highlighting the multifactorial etiology of suicide in news articles may help to prevent public misconceptions about the causes of suicide.

Summary: Through interviews with participants in the PRIMROSE childhood obesity prevention trial, it was found that nurses found the trial rewarding but challenging to combine the intervention with regular work. Study coordinators also faced difficulties in handling the conflicting needs of the research group and the nurses' commitment to usual child health care services. The importance of support, encouragement, simplified intervention, and adaptation of training in motivational interviewing to the setting was emphasized to improve the outcome of future primary prevention of obesity. Stress and lack of time were identified as major barriers to delivering the intervention as intended.
