Summary: Attempts at suicide and suicidal ideation are common in Canadian men. This study aimed to identify the variables associated with suicidal thoughts, recent suicide attempts, and the number of lifetime suicide attempts among men seeking help. A total of 2,398 participants from men's support centers answered questions about suicidal behavior and various personal, interpersonal, and contextual variables. The results showed that psychological diagnosis and attachment anxiety were linked to an increased risk of suicidal behavior in all three indicators. Other factors such as breakups, court involvement for conjugal violence, drug use, bullying, and the perceived impact of the COVID-19 pandemic were also associated with suicidal ideation.

Summary: Despite the significant public health implications, child maltreatment, particularly neglect, remains underestimated in psychiatry in terms of prevalence and impact on health. This study focuses on evaluating the prevalence and impact of early adversity factors – maltreatment (abuse and neglect) and life events (divorce, early separations, family history of psychiatric illness) – in a population of adolescents hospitalized in psychiatry from affluent backgrounds. The results show a high prevalence and accumulation of adversity factors, including high rates of maltreatment and difficult life events. Maltreatment is associated with medical severity, particularly the number of hospitalizations, while neglect also impacts duration and medical severity of the adolescent. This study calls for a systematic evaluation of adversity in child psychiatry, regardless of the patient's environmental context, and emphasizes the importance of family interventions and prevention of abuse and neglect.

Summary: This study examined the mechanisms of stigma reduction interventions among Asian men. Results suggest that increased empowerment may be a common mechanism for different interventions, while improved psychological flexibility through ACT may contribute to reducing internalized stigma.

Summary: This study evaluated the use of palliative systemic treatments near end-of-life for patients with metastatic cancer at a French cancer institute. The results showed that 6.2% of the 452 patients received systemic treatment in the last 14 days of life, and 8.4% started a new systemic treatment in the last 30 days of life. Although our institute offers a good quality of end-of-life care, improvements should be made regarding prognostic estimation and integration of palliative care.

Summary: This study investigates the rate of suicidal ideation/attempts among individuals with prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) and finds significant associations with factors such as substance use, history of trauma/abuse, and impaired affect regulation. These findings contribute to understanding the elevated risk of suicidality in this population and have implications for improving screening, prevention, and treatment approaches.

Summary: This study assessed the factors associated with perceived need for mental health care in older adults in primary care settings. It found that individuals with unmet mental health needs were more likely to have cognitive decline, while those with met needs were more likely to report decreased quality of life. Those with common mental disorders who reported met needs were more likely to receive minimally adequate care and experience persistent mental health issues.

Summary: This study found that early hospital readmission risk is mainly associated with clinical variables, followed by service use variables, highlighting the importance of developing specific interventions such as better discharge planning, integrated and collaborative care, and case management to reduce the likelihood of early readmission. Better access to services and continuity of care before and after hospital discharge should be provided to prevent early hospital readmission.

Summary: This study found that children receiving second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs) treatment have higher BMI z-scores, overweight/obesity rates, and hypertension risk. Compared to children not receiving SGA treatment and the control group, they have poorer cardiovascular health conditions, as indicated by measurements of cardiac function and morphology, arterial stiffness, and other indicators.
