AI Article Synopsis
- - Collective traumas, like those experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic, significantly affect the mental health of adolescents, with some at higher risk due to past maltreatment.
- - Resilience among youth varies; those with a history of emotional abuse reported less anxiety when experiencing less social isolation, while those with physical abuse histories showed increased anxiety and depression despite less isolation.
- - The study emphasizes the need for public health strategies that focus not just on preventing disease but also on supporting youth well-being during times of collective trauma.
Article Abstract
Collective traumas have a notable impact on adolescent well-being. While some youth face increased risk for mental health problems (e.g., those with maltreatment histories), many demonstrate resilience following traumatic events. One contributing factor to well-being following trauma is the degree to which one isolates from others. Accordingly, we examined the association between maltreatment and internalizing problems during the COVID-19 pandemic as moderated by social isolation. Among adolescents reporting pre-pandemic emotional abuse, those experiencing less isolation reported the lowest levels of anxiety symptoms. Among adolescents reporting pre-pandemic physical abuse, those experiencing less isolation reported the greatest levels of anxiety and depressive symptoms. The findings highlight a public health-oriented approach to youth well-being during collective trauma that extends beyond mitigating disease transmission.

Understanding the relative contributions of environmental, behavioural and social factors to reproductive success is crucial for predicting population dynamics of seabirds. However, these factors are often studied in isolation, limiting our ability to evaluate their combined influence. This study investigates how marine environmental variables, foraging behaviour and social factors (divorce), influence reproductive success in little penguins () over 13 breeding seasons.

Historiography is a vital perspective of our scientific literature that charts the evolution of scientific publishing, from its early origins to the present status. The key transformations including the shift from a limited self-published legacy to specialized and professional peer-reviewed journals, the impact of technological advancements, and the emergence of new profitable business models are learning points for the future course and couture. Science is pursued and persevered by real humans in social and cultural contexts and not in isolation of laboratories or clinics.

Loneliness is one critical risk factor for cognitive health. Combining data from ongoing aging studies and the published literature, we provided the largest meta-analysis on the association between loneliness and dementia ( = 21 samples, = 608,561) and cognitive impairment ( = 16, = 103,387). Loneliness increased risk for all-cause dementia (HR = 1.

Aims: Adolescence is a critical developmental phase during which young people are vulnerable to the experiences of mental ill-health and social exclusion (consisting of various domains including education and employment, housing, finances and social supports and relationships). The aims of this study were to (i) obtain an understanding of the relationships between social exclusion, mental health and wellbeing of young people; and (ii) identify potentially modifiable targets, or population groups that require greater or targeted supports.
Methods: Data were obtained from the Mission Australia 2022 , Australia's largest annual population-wide survey of young people aged 15-19 years ( = 18,800).
