A longitudinal analysis of a work inclusion model for psychiatric patients in the Mental Health Departments of the city of Milan.

Background: Work functioning impairment is a key diagnostic and transnosographic criterion for psychiatric disorders in both DSM-5 and ICD-11. Occupational inclusion is a fundamental aspect of the care path for patients attending the territorial services provided by the Italian Mental Health and Addiction Departments (DSMDs). Since 2009, the Regional Innovative Programme (PIR) TR106, promoted by the Fatebenefratelli-Sacco hospital of Milan, Italy, in collaboration with six other metropolitan DSMDs, was created to promote integration for people suffering from mental health problems in the city of Milan.

Family affluence, school and neighborhood contexts and adolescents' civic engagement: a cross-national study.

Research on youth civic engagement focuses on individual-level predictors. We examined individual- and school-level characteristics, including family affluence, democratic school social climate and perceived neighborhood social capital, in their relation to civic engagement of 15-year-old students. Data were taken from the 2006 World Health Organization Health Behaviour in School-aged Children survey.

Perceived neighborhood social resources as determinants of prosocial behavior in early adolescence.

The present study aims to develop an integrative model that links neighborhood behavioral opportunities and social resources (neighborhood cohesion, neighborhood friendship and neighborhood attachment) to prosocial (sharing, helping, empathic) behavior in early adolescence, taking into account the potential mediating role of perceived support of friends. Path analysis was used to test the proposed theoretical model in a sample of 1,145 Italian early adolescents (6th through 8th graders). More perceived opportunities and social resources in the neighborhood are related to higher levels of adolescent prosocial behavior, and this relationship is partially mediated by perceived social support from friends.

[Health perception during adolescence between individual and contextual factors: the role of social capital].

Objective: to assess the role of neighbourhood social capital, family affluence and risk taking on adolescent self-rated health.

Design: the survey reported here is part of the larger "Health Behaviour in School aged Children" (HBSC) project, an international study carried out in collaboration with the World Health Organization/Europe (WHO). The data were gathered through self-administered questionnaires on forms which had been devised by the international research group.

Italian validation of the drinking motives questionnaire revised short form (DMQ-R SF).

The aim of the study is to validate the four-dimensional structure of the Drinking Motive Questionnaire Revised Short Form (DMQ-R SF) in a sample of Italian adolescents and to investigate associations of these motives with frequency of alcohol use and sensation seeking. The data were gathered through self-administered questionnaires in classrooms. The questionnaires were filled out by a representative sample of 2725 (56.
