Article Synopsis
- The study explored how early life adversity, specifically home threat, influences epigenetic age acceleration in adolescents through various sleep characteristics like duration, efficiency, and timing.
- Researchers analyzed data from 861 participants at age 15, linking childhood home-threatening experiences to decreased sleep quality and patterns.
- Results suggested that poor sleep mediated the connection between early home threat exposure and faster aging, highlighting the need for improved pediatric sleep health to mitigate the negative impact of early adversity.
Background: Prevention programs that target resilience may help youth address mental health difficulties and promote well-being during public health crises.
Aims: To examine the preliminary efficacy of the (RYP).

Objective: To assess changes in screening completion in a diverse, 7-clinic network after making annual screening for social/emotional/behavioral (SEB) problems the standard of care for all infant through late adolescent-aged patients and rolling out a fully automated screening system tied to the electronic medical record and patient portal.
Methods: In 2017, the Massachusetts General Hospital made SEB screening using the age-appropriate version of the Pediatric Symptom Checklist the standard of care in its pediatric clinics for all patients aged 2.0 months to 17.
