Parental physical activity, parental mental health, children's physical activity, and children's mental health.

Introduction: The benefits of physical activity for mental health and well-being and the associations between parental mental health and children's mental health have been well established. These important issues tend to be examined separately however, and there is limited research on the associations between parent and child physical activity and mental health when all considered together. While family focused practice is recommended to provide support for parents who have mental health problems and their families and includes various components (such as psychoeducation, support for mental health and parenting), promoting physical activity for parents and children is not usually a core component of these interventions.

Spatially distributed atmospheric boundary layer properties in Houston - A value-added observational dataset.

In 2022, Houston, TX became a nexus for field campaigns aiming to further our understanding of the feedbacks between convective clouds, aerosols and atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) properties. Houston's proximity to the Gulf of Mexico and Galveston Bay motivated the collection of spatially distributed observations to disentangle coastal and urban processes. This paper presents a value-added ABL dataset derived from observations collected by eight research teams over 46 days between 2 June - 18 September 2022.

Prevalence and risk factors of parental mental health problems: A cross-sectional study.

An understanding of the prevalence and risk factors of parental mental health problems is important for early intervention and prevention measures and shaping services for parents and their children. However, large representative surveys of parental mental health problems and associated risk factors are lacking. The aim of this study was to estimate prevalence rates of parental mental health problems using a standardised measure of psychiatric morbidity (General Health Questionnaire; GHQ-12), in a representative sample of parents and caregivers of children and young people (2-19 years) in Northern Ireland.

The structure of the Prodromal Questionnaire-16 (PQ-16) in a non-help-seeking youth population: Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses study.

Aims: The present study aimed to examine the structure of the Prodromal Questionnaire-16 (PQ-16) in a non-help-seeking youth population through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Previous studies have not examined the structure of this self-report measure in this age group outside a clinical setting.

Methods: Participants (n = 1165) aged 11-19 years were recruited to an epidemiological study of young people in Northern Ireland, and completed the PQ-16 alongside other measures.
