“…Specifically, mothers completed the Delusions-Symptoms States Inventory (DSSI: Bedford & Foulds, 1978) at each of the four time points. The DSSI is a valid screening instrument for mental health (e.g., Bedford & Foulds, 1977) that was chosen by the MUSP investigators because it did not include symptoms associated with pregnancy or childbirth.…”

This study examined sex differences in risk factors associated with adolescent depression in a large sample of boys and girls. Moderation and mediation explanatory models of the sex difference in likelihood of depression were examined. Findings indicate that the factors associated with depression in adolescent boys and girls are quite similar. All of the variables considered were associated with depression, but sex did not moderate the impact of vulnerability factors on likelihood of depression diagnosis. However, negative self-perceptions in the domains of achievement, global self-worth, and physical appearance partially mediated the relationship between sex and depression. Further, girls had higher levels of positive self-perceptions in interpersonal domains that acted as suppressors and reduced the likelihood of depression in girls. These findings suggest that girls' higher incidence of depression is due in part to their higher levels of negative self-perceptions, whereas positive interpersonal factors serve to protect them from depressive episodes.

“…At each of the four MUSP contacts (pregnancy, after delivery, and when the child was 6 months of age and 5 years of age), the mothers had completed a depression scale, the Delusions-Symptoms-doi: 10.1037/0022-006X.72. 3.511 States Inventory (DSSI; Bedford & Foulds, 1978). The DSSI had been chosen as the measure of maternal mental health for the Mater Hospital birth cohort study because it was a valid screening instrument for mental health (e.g., Bedford & Foulds, 1977) and did not include symptoms that might be confused with the effects of pregnancy or childbirth.…”

An interpersonal stress model of depression transmission was tested in a community sample of nearly 800 depressed and never-depressed women and their 15-year-old children. It was hypothesized that maternal depression (and depression in the maternal grandmother) contributed to chronic interpersonal stress in the mothers, affecting quality of parenting and youths' social competence. In turn, poor social functioning and interpersonal life events caused at least in part by the youths were predicted to be the proximal predictors of current depressive symptoms and diagnoses. Structural equation modeling confirmed the predicted associations among variables and the link between youth chronic and episodic interpersonal stress and depression. Additionally, the association between maternal and child depression was entirely mediated by the predicted family and interpersonal stress effects.

“…We used the Delusions-Symptoms-States Inventory (DSSI) (Bedford and Foulds, 1978) to assess maternal anxiety and depression at baseline. The DSSI was developed by clinicians and validated against a clinical sample (Bedford and Foulds, 1977).…”

AimsTo investigate pathways to ecstasy use disorders from pre-birth to early adulthood with particular attention to the relationship between early depressive and anxiety symptoms and later ecstasy use disorders. DesignProspective, longitudinal, population-based study started in Brisbane, South East Queensland (Australia) in 1981. Participants were 2143 young adults, followed up from pre-birth to young adulthood. MeasurementsEcstasy use disorders were assessed with the composite international diagnostic interview (CIDI-Auto). Maternal socio-economic position and mental health status were assessed at baseline (antenatal visit); maternal substance use was measured at the 5-year follow-up, adolescents' behaviour at the 5-and 14-year follow-up and tobacco and alcohol use were assessed at the 14-year follow-up. FindingsEight syndrome scales of childhood behaviour were examined. After adjustment for important confounders, delinquent and aggressive behaviour in early adolescence remained significantly associated with ecstasy use disorders in early adulthood. The associations became statistically non-significant when adolescent tobacco and alcohol use were included in the model [OR = 1.50 (95%CI = 0.75, 3.01) for delinquency and OR = 1.69 (95%CI = 0.92, 3.12) for aggression]. Formal mediation tests were statistically significant (p = 0.001 for delinquent behaviour and p = 0.05 for aggressive behaviour). ConclusionsOur findings suggest a pathway from early deviant behaviour to ecstasy use disorders, possibly mediated through licit drug experimentation in early adolescence.
