Objective: This study compared parental distress in 166 couples, using the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form (PSI-SF), in the Italian NASCITA cohort at the two-year well-child visits. The study explored the concordance of distress levels within couples (aim 1) and their correlation with child-related stressors (aim 2).
Background: Previous studies focused on maternal distress or considered maternal and paternal experiences separately, without addressing differences within couples.
Aims: Ensuring a successful transition to Adult Mental Health Services (AMHS) is fundamental for attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) patients to prevent adverse scenarios in adults (e.g., psychiatric disorders, substance or alcohol abuse).

- Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a common winter virus that primarily affects infants, young children with specific health issues, and the elderly, often leading to serious complications in these groups.
- *Currently, treatments for RSV include monoclonal antibodies (mainly for infants) and vaccines (targeting older adults), but the market has recently become saturated with new products after years of limited options.
- *The text suggests that European policymakers should carefully consider how to manage the financial impact of these new, costly treatments to prevent RSV from becoming an exaggerated health concern in the region.
Background: Previous research has assessed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on adolescent mental health (MH). How the pandemic changed healthcare resource utilisation for MH conditions was investigated less, however, in particular in Italy.
Methods: Data concerning outpatient visits in child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHSs), access to emergency departments (EDs), hospital admissions and drug prescriptions collected in administrative databases of the Lombardy Region, Italy, concerning adolescents 12-17 years old and occurring in the 2016-2021 period were analysed.
Background: For Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) youth transitioning from child to adult services, protocols that guide the transition process are essential. While some guidelines are available, they do not always consider the effective workload and scarce resources. In Italy, very few guidelines are currently available, and they do not adhere to common standards, possibly leading to non-uniform use.
