Background: Young people who were in out-of-home care (OHC) face an accelerated transition to independent adulthood. Current evidence on outcomes for Australian care-leavers is scant.
Objective: This study aims to develop a better understanding of the outcomes for young people leaving care.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of trauma-related shame and guilt on the mental health of survivors from the 2011 Utøya terror attack in Norway, focusing on their long-term effects.
- A total of 347 survivors participated in interviews conducted 2.5 and 8.5 years after the attack, revealing that shame and guilt were common emotions and were linked to increased post-traumatic stress and anxiety/depression.
- The findings suggest that shame is particularly significant for the mental health of survivors, indicating the need for clinicians to address these feelings in treatment for better outcomes.
Background: Using real-world (RW) data from registries to mimic or substitute a comparator arm of clinical trials is increasingly investigated. The feasibility of using data sources for this purpose depends on the source's completeness of the wide spectrum of a disease characteristics and relevant endpoints, which could allow for proper matching of important variables.
Materials And Methods: This is a Norwegian study using data from three population-based registries, the Cancer Registry (CRN), the National Patient Registry (NPR), and the Norwegian Prescribed Drug Registry (LMR).
