Internalizing problems can differ in boys and girls since early childhood: Findings from the Child Behavioral Checklist 1.5-5 (CBCL 1.5-5).

Background: Globally, internalizing problems disproportionately affect females in adolescence and adulthood, with limited research at earlier ages due to a focus on disruptive behaviors. Our study addresses this gap by exploring the structure of internalizing problems and gender differences in Brazilian preschoolers.

Methods: We analyzed data from the Child Behavioral Checklist 1.

Exhausting care: On the collateral realities of caring in the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic.

We explore care as a site of multiplicity and tension. Working with the qualitative interview accounts of nineteen health care workers in Colombia, we trace a narrative of 'exhausting care' in the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic. Accounts relate exhausting care to working without break in response to extraordinary demand, heightened contagion concern, the pressures of caring in the face of anticipated death, and efforts to carry on caring in the face of constraint.
