Summary: Multiple or persistent regulatory problems in early childhood are associated with a higher risk of mood disorders in adulthood. Social support from peers and friends may provide protection from mood disorders, but only for individuals who never had regulatory problems.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of a psychoeducational app on parents' stress levels, knowledge about child problems, and perceived self-efficacy and social support in dealing with crying, sleeping, and feeding problems. The results showed that parents using the app reported lower parenting stress and higher knowledge levels compared to those who did not use the app. However, there were no significant changes in self-efficacy, perceived social support, and child symptoms between the two groups.

Summary: The study explores the bidirectional associations between controlling feeding and infant food responsiveness. Results indicate that pressuring feeding styles (such as pressuring to finish food and pressuring with cereal) are associated with increased food responsiveness in infants. However, no prospective associations were found between restrictive feeding styles and infant food responsiveness.

Summary: This longitudinal cohort study investigated the prevalence, risk factors, and microbiome characteristics of toxigenic C. diff carriage in infants. The study found that the prevalence of toxigenic C. diff carriage increased as infants grew older, but it was a transient component of the dynamic infant microbiome. Breastfeeding was associated with a lower carriage rate.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to examine the associations between infants' dietary nutrient trajectories and subsequent neurodevelopment during childhood. One-day food records were collected at ages 6, 9, and 12 months, and neurodevelopment assessments were conducted at ages 24 and 54 months. The findings showed that higher protein intake and increasing rate of intake were associated with higher fine motor scores at 24 months, while higher fat intake was associated with higher receptive language scores. However, no significant associations were observed with neurodevelopment at 54 months. Overall, this study provides important insights into the relationship between nutrition and child neurodevelopment over time.

Summary: This study examined the role of paternal sensitivity and couple coparenting quality in the first 2 years of life in relation to the development of externalizing behavior problems in middle childhood. The findings suggest that the continuity in paternal sensitivity from infancy to toddlerhood predicts externalizing behavior problems in middle childhood through competitive coparenting. These results highlight the unique importance of paternal caregiving quality and couple coparenting in children's development of externalizing problems.

Summary: This study compared the associations between behavioural patterns derived from three different methods and three childhood outcomes. The results showed discrepancies in associations across pattern derivation methods, which has implications for comparing studies that have used different methods.

Summary: This study found that changes in family income did not directly affect mothers' parenting quality, but increases in mothers' employment incomes were associated with small improvements in the sensitivity of their parenting. Furthermore, the effects of income changes did not differ significantly between low-income and high-income families.

Summary: The study found that adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and physical punishment were unique risk factors for increased externalizing behavior problems in 5-year-old children. The associations of ACEs and spanking with externalizing behavior were similar, and ACEs did not moderate the impact of spanking on externalizing behavior.

Summary: The aim of this study was to determine if managed transition improves mental health outcomes of young people reaching the child/adolescent mental health service boundary. The study found that using managed transition led to a slight improvement in mental health outcomes, although the effect was small. The intervention was relatively low-cost and easy to implement.

Summary: This study aims to examine the associations between VP/VLBW status and preference-based health-related quality-of-life outcomes in early adulthood. The results showed that VP/VLBW status is associated with lower overall health-related quality of life, particularly in terms of physical and cognitive functioning. Further studies are needed to estimate the effects of VP/VLBW status on health-related quality-of-life outcomes in mid and late adulthood.

Summary: This study examined the long-term associations between multiple or persistent regulatory problems and behavioral problems in adulthood. The results showed that individuals who had early multiple or persistent regulatory problems reported more internalizing, externalizing, and total behavioral problems in young adulthood. Screening for early regulatory problems could help identify children at risk for later behavioral problems.

Summary: This study examined the agreement between two different instruments used to measure health-related quality of life in individuals born very preterm and/or with low birthweight. The study found that the HUI3 tool captured preterm-related changes in health status more accurately, while the SF-6D tool was more accurate in measuring the health status of the control group.

Summary: This study examines the emotional attributes associated with bullying perpetration and victimization in adolescence. The findings reveal differences in emotional traits among bullies, victims, bully-victims, and those uninvolved. Bullies and bully-victims exhibit high levels of callous-unemotional traits, while victims and bully-victims have high levels of affective instability. Bully-victims have a unique emotional profile, combining attributes of both bullies and victims, with high levels of callous-unemotional traits and affective instability, but low levels of cognitive and affective empathy.

Summary: This study investigated the awareness of clinicians and parents regarding adolescent suicidal behavior in a sample of 763 Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) users from eight European countries. The results showed that a significant proportion of clinicians and parents were unaware of the suicidal behavior reported by the adolescents. However, this lack of awareness did not have an impact on mental health problems or the use of mental health services by the adolescents.

Summary: This study investigates whether the behavioral outcomes of extremely preterm (EP) children have changed over time with increasing survival rates. It compares the behavioral outcomes at age 11 for two national cohorts of EP children born in 1995 (EPICure) and 2006 (EPICure2), along with term-born children. The results show that EP children have higher mean scores and more clinically significant difficulties compared to term-born children in almost all measures. Furthermore, the behavioral outcomes for EP children born in 2006 are worse than those born in 1995. Long-term clinical follow-up and psychological support are needed for EP children.

Summary: This descriptive study examined patient characteristics, treatment characteristics, and short-term outcomes of patients with AN and BN in routine clinical care. Findings showed that full-time treatment was associated with substantial improvements in all measured variables for patients with AN and BN, while ambulatory treatment was associated with small improvements in BN pathology and weight gain among patients with AN.

Summary: The highest level of evidence for the treatment of schizophrenia in current German guidelines is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). However, only a small fraction of people with schizophrenia receive this treatment. A survey of 215 psychotherapists was conducted to identify barriers to psychotherapy for people with psychosis. Results indicated that insufficient training in the treatment of psychotic disorders was the biggest obstacle, and some therapists found it difficult to obtain approval for psychotherapy.
