Background: Adolescent insomnia is a global public health issue, with peer victimization identified as one of the risk factors. However, some adolescents are able to resist the negative impact of peer victimization, and the protective mechanisms underlying this resilience require further clarification. This study aims to evaluate the moderating roles of friendship quality and family functioning on the effects of peer victimization on insomnia.
Methods: Participants (n=506, age=14.49 ± 0.68, 54.5%female) from Hubei, China, completed the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Multidimensional Peer Victimization Scale (MPVS), Friendship Quality Questionnaire (FQQ), and Family Adaptation, Partnership, Growth, Affection, and Resolve (APGAR).
Results: The more severe the peer victimization, the higher the level of insomnia among adolescents. Family functioning moderated the relationship between peer victimization and insomnia severity, but no moderating effect of friendship quality was found.
Conclusion: The results suggest that high family functioning can mitigate the impact of peer victimization on insomnia. In the screening and intervention for peer victimization and insomnia among adolescents, the importance of family functioning should be emphasized, while recognizing that friendship quality may not play a significant role.

Objective: When the negative effects and risks associated with modern digital technologies are being discussed, the role of offline factors, including traumatic experiences such as childhood maltreatment, in determining the likelihood of exposure to online harm is rarely taken into account. The present study aimed to fill this gap by conducting a systematic rapid review of literature mapping the existing research evidence on the associations between childhood maltreatment history and vulnerability to online harm.
Method: The rapid review protocol was developed following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis guidelines.
Health risky behaviors among rural-to-urban migrant workers in China: prevalence, patterns, and association with distal and proximal factors.

Background: Health Risky Behaviors (HRBs) pose a significant public health challenge, particularly among migrant workers in China who face unfavorable living and working conditions. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of HRBs in rural-to-urban migrant workers, as well as explore factors associated with HRBs from both distal and proximal perspectives.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey involving 2,065 rural-to-urban migrant workers was conducted.
Background: Research has established a bidirectional association between sleep disturbances and depression in both adults and youth, as well as links between depression and circadian rhythms and chronotype, predominantly in adult populations. However, the link between chronotype and depression in the general adolescent population, independently of poor sleep and prior mental health problems, remains unclear.
Methods: This study investigated the association between time-to-sleep (TTS) and depressive symptoms in middle adolescence (age 14 years) using data from a large, nationally representative birth cohort from the UK.
Background: Pediatric anxiety disorders are common and have severe long-term consequences. Early-life fearful temperament is a predictor of later anxiety, but not all children with highly fearful temperament will eventually develop an anxiety disorder. Therefore, it is important to identify factors that moderate the fearful temperament-anxiety association.
