Self-concept in Adolescents with Physical-Mental Comorbidity.

Objective: Little is known about self-concept in adolescents with physical-mental comorbidity. This study investigated whether physical-mental comorbidity was associated with self-concept in adolescents and examined if adolescent age or sex moderated the association between physical-mental comorbidity and self-concept.

Methods: Study data were obtained from the Multimorbidity in Youth across the Life-course (MY LIFE), an ongoing Canadian study of adolescents with chronic physical illness who were recruited from outpatient clinics at a pediatric hospital.

Internalizing-Externalizing Comorbidity and Impaired Functioning in Children.

Background: The comorbidity of mental illnesses is common in child and adolescent psychiatry. Children with internalizing-externalizing comorbidity often experience worse health outcomes compared to children with a single diagnosis. Greater knowledge of functioning among children with internalizing-externalizing comorbidity can help improve mental health care.

Validating the 12-item proxy-administered World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS) 2.0 in young children with chronic physical illness in Canada.

Purpose: This study investigated the psychometric properties of the 12-item proxy-administered World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS) 2.0 in young children with chronic physical illness in Canada.

Materials And Methods: Data come from the Multimorbidity in Youth across the Life-course, a longitudinal study of Canadian youth with physical illnesses ( = 263).

Measurement invariance of the 12-item self-administered World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS) 2.0 across early and late adolescents in Canada.

Purpose: This study examined whether the 12-item self-administered World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS) 2.0 demonstrated measurement invariance between young adolescents aged 10-16 years with a physical illness and older adolescents aged 15-19 years from the general population.

Materials And Methods: Young adolescent data come from the baseline wave of the Multimorbidity in Youth across the Life-course study ( = 117) and older adolescent data come from the Canadian Community Health Survey-Mental Health ( = 1851).

Agreement of the 12-item World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS) 2.0 in parents and youth with physical illness living in Canada.

Purpose: This study modelled the factor structure and tested for measurement invariance between youth and parent reports on the 12-item World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS) 2.0; estimated agreement between informants; and, examined moderators of youth-parent discrepancies.

Materials And Methods: Data come from the baseline wave of the Multimorbidity in Youth across the Life-course study ( = 117).
