Co-producing school-based mental health interventions with young people, teachers, and schools: a case study.

Background: Schools are a prime setting for the delivery of universal and targeted mental health interventions. Current school-based mental health interventions may not be developed to fully meet student mental health needs and co-production is needed to understand what young people really want. Despite this, research on school-based mental health interventions does not consistently engage in co-production, involving stakeholders, such as young people and schools, in the decision-making, development, evaluation and/or implementation stages.

Maternal and paternal depression and child mental health trajectories: evidence from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children.

Background: The relationships between offspring depression profiles across adolescence and different timings of parental depression during the perinatal period remain unknown.

Aims: To explore different timings of maternal and paternal perinatal depression in relation to patterns of change in offspring depressive mood over a 14 year period.

Method: Data were obtained from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC).

Specific domains of early parenting, their heritability and differential association with adolescent behavioural and emotional disorders and academic achievement.

Variations in parenting across large populations have rarely been described. It also remains unclear which specific domains of parenting are important for which specific offspring developmental outcomes. This study describes different domains of early parenting behaviours and their genetic heritability, then determines the extent to which specific domains of parenting are associated with later offspring outcomes.

Disciplinary Parenting Practice and Child Mental Health: Evidence From the UK Millennium Cohort Study.

Objective: To investigate whether a longitudinal association exists between differential disciplinary parenting practices at 3 years of age and later child psychopathology at 11 years.

Method: Data were obtained from the Millennium Cohort Study, a UK-wide cohort. Discipline style was assessed using a validated maternal reported questionnaire at 3 years of age for which later outcome data were available.

Role of dietary supplementation in attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Dietary constituents have been increasingly researched as both potential aetiological factors and interventions for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms. Although the involvement of dietary factors in ADHD is biologically plausible, the literature to date does not indicate causality and there are no grounds yet for the routine recommendation of dietary manipulation in ADHD.
