The association between mental health stigma and face emotion recognition in individuals at risk for psychosis.

Self-stigma has been associated with reduced accuracy of face emotion recognition in individuals at clinical high risk for psychosis (CHR). Stigma may also relate to slowing of performance during cognitive tasks for which a negative stereotype is relevant. This study aimed to investigate the association of mental illness stigma with face emotion recognition among CHR individuals.

Emotional and stigma-related experiences relative to being told one is at risk for psychosis.

Objective: Despite the appeal of early intervention in psychosis, there is concern that identifying youth as having high psychosis risk (PR) may trigger stigma. This study employed a pre-post design to measure change in PR participants' emotions about PR upon being told of their PR status and according to whether this was the first time receiving this information.

Methods: Participants (n = 54) identified as at PR via structured interview rated their emotions about PR before and after being told they were at PR.

Association between biological maturation and anterior cruciate ligament injury risk factors during cutting.

Background: Adolescent females are particularly susceptible to suffering anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, likely influenced by well-established maturational changes. This study investigated ACL biomechanical injury risk factors and their association with biological maturation in females.

Methods: Thirty-five adolescent females (15±1 year) completed a series of maximum-effort 90° unanticipated cutting maneuvers.

Stigma and coping experiences in Latinx individuals at clinical high-risk for psychosis.

Aim: The experiences of culturally diverse individuals at clinical high-risk for psychosis (CHR) is not well studied. Exploratory research needs to examine whether differences exist between racial/ethnic groups within the CHR population. Understanding experiences of Latinx patients is of importance, as the Latinx population represents the most rapidly growing paediatric population in the United States and they face significant barriers to mental health treatment.

Naturalistic conceptions of genetic optimism and precision psychiatry among those at clinical high-risk for psychosis.

Aim: Fuelled by genomics advances, recent emphasis on the concept of "precision medicine," and public optimism towards genetic advances, it is important to understand how those who are considered to be at clinical high-risk for psychosis (CHR) perceive possible benefits of genetic testing to inform future stakeholder education efforts.

Methods: Semistructured interviews were completed with 20 participants who met CHR criteria. Coding for genetic optimism was completed.
