Background: Psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) are common in clinical adolescent samples and form a continuum based on their frequency and intensity. PLEs can have harmful effects on both behaviour and affect.
Methods: Prevalence and subjective distress due to PLEs were assessed with the Prodromal Questionnaire-Brief (PQ-B) and depressive symptoms with the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-21A) among adolescents ( = 399; 71.
Our aim was to study enrollment and completion levels for the internet-based and telephone-assisted Finnish Strongest Families Smart Website (SFSW) parent training intervention, for parents of young children with disruptive behavior before and after the COVID-19 lockdown period. Population-based screening was carried out on 39,251 children during routine check- ups at 4 years of age. The parents of children scoring at least 5 on the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire were assessed against inclusion and exclusion criteria.

- * Our findings showed that certain KLKs, particularly KLK2, -3, and -15, were associated with shorter metastasis-free survival, suggesting they could be used as biomarkers for aggressive prostate cancer progression.
- * Additionally, high levels of KLK12 expression were linked to poorer survival outcomes, reinforcing the role of KLKs in predicting the severity of prostate cancer beyond traditional clinical measures like grade and stage.
Aim: Psychosis-Like Experiences (PLEs) and depressive symptoms are correlated in clinical adolescent populations. However, symptom-level associations between the two phenomena are not clear.
Methods: We analysed factor structures of a PLE instrument, the Prodromal Questionnaire-Brief (PQ-B), based on dimensions of positive symptoms of schizophrenia, and a depression measurement instrument, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-21A) and performed a network analysis of item-level associations between the two measures.
Background: The COVID-19-pandemic and especially the physical distancing measures drastically changed the conditions for providing outpatient care in adolescent psychiatry.
Methods: We investigated the outpatient services of adolescent psychiatry in the Helsinki University Hospital (HUH) from 1/1/2015 until 12/31/2020. We retrieved data from the in-house data software on the number of visits in total and categorized as in-person or remote visits, and analysed the data on a weekly basis.
