Social jetlag and sleep habits in children and adolescents: Associations with autonomy (bedtime setting and electronics curfew) and electronic media use before sleep.

For young people attending school, social jetlag (SJL) refers to discrepancy in sleep/wake timing between school days and weekends. This study investigated SJL in school-aged children and adolescents in England and whether this is associated with age, gender, and sleep habits including bedtimes and electronic media use. Students (school y 5-13; typical age 9-18 y) completed the 2021 OxWell Student Survey.

Neuropsychiatric Outcomes in Children and Adolescents with Perinatally Acquired HIV: A Systematic Review and Meta Analysis.

Objective: The objective of this study is to define the neuropsychiatric challenges including developmental delay, cognitive impairment and psychiatric illness faced by children with perinatally acquired HIV.

Data Sources: Nine databases were searched on 30/05/2023: MEDLINE, Embase, and PsycINFO (all via Ovid SP); CINAHL and Child Development and Adolescent Studies (via EBSCO); the Web of Science Core Collection; Scopus; ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global; and WHO Global Index Medicus. No limits were applied.

Networks of care for the modern adolescent.

Background: At a time of increased demand for specialist mental health services, a more nuanced understanding of how adolescents navigate systems of care and support is essential. We mapped 'networks of care' to explore patterns of mental health help-seeking alongside the perceived helpfulness of support accessed.

Methods: We examined data from 23 927 adolescents aged 11-18 years who participated in the 2023 OxWell Student Survey, an English school-based, repeated cross-sectional survey of mental health and wellbeing.

Exploring the Relationship Between Public Social Media Accounts, Adolescent Mental Health, and Parental Guidance in England: Large Cross-Sectional School Survey Study.

Background: Although associations between social media use and adolescent mental health have been described, more information is needed on the potential components characterizing this complex exposure, in particular, those related to maintaining a public social media account.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the association between having a public social media account and anxiety and depression in school-going adolescents.

Methods: Overall, 80 secondary schools and further education colleges in England were sampled using a cross-sectional web-based survey as part of the 2023 OxWell Student Survey.

Trans and gender diverse identities in adolescent health research: making the most of imperfect data.

Advancing adolescent health research necessitates deliberate design and analysis that accurately captures the rapidly evolving world in which adolescents live and the ways in which they understand and express themselves and their experiences. In this , we reflect on how researchers might approach existing, imperfect data in a way that is accurate and inclusive of trans and gender diverse (TGD) adolescents. Drawing on our experience of running a large school-based survey of health and well-being (the OxWell Student Survey) and extensive coproduction with three TGD adolescents ('youth advisors'), we present considerations for critically appraising, processing and analysing quantitative gender data to better reflect adolescents' lived experiences.
