“…This emphasizes the need for early detection, e.g., via well-child assessments and school monitoring [33]. Especially children whose mental health problems increase over time deserve attention, as they seem to be at greater risk of low educational attainment.…”

BackgroundThis study examines if mental health problems at age 11 and changes in mental health problems between age 11 and 16 predict educational attainment of adolescents at age 19, overall and stratified by gender.MethodsData from 1711 adolescents (76.8% from initial cohort) of the Tracking Adolescents' Individual Lives Survey (TRAILS), a Dutch prospective cohort study with 9year follow-up, were used. Mental health problems (externalizing, internalizing and attention problems) were measured by the Youth Self Report and the Child Behavior Checklist at ages 11 and 16. Difference scores for mental health problems between age 11 and 16 were calculated. Educational attainment was assessed at age 19.ResultsExternalizing, internalizing and attention problems at age 11 were significantly associated with low educational attainment at age 19 (crude model). When adjusted for demographic variables and the other mental health problems, only the association for attention problems remained significant (odds ratio (OR), 95% confidence interval: 3.19, 2.11–4.83). Increasing externalizing problems between age 11 and 16 also predicted low educational attainment at age 19 (OR 3.12, 1.83–5.32). Among girls, increasing internalizing problems between age 11 and 16 predicted low educational attainment (OR 2.21, 1.25–3.94). For boys, no significant association was found for increasing internalizing problems and low educational attainment. For increasing attention problems between age 11 and 16 no significant association with low educational attainment was found.ConclusionsExternalizing, internalizing and attention problems at age 11 and an increase of these problems during adolescence predicted low educational attainment at age 19. Early treatment of these mental health problems may improve educational attainment, and reduce socioeconomic health differences in adulthood.

“…Over a dozen relevant studies have been published, and a well-replicated finding is that childhood sleep problems (variously defined) predict the development of anxiety and depressive symptoms over time, even after controlling for baseline mood difficulties and other potential confounds. This has been reported across timeframes spanning preschool to mid-childhood 87-88, preschool to mid-adolescence 89-90, mid-childhood to late childhood 39, 91, mid-childhood to young adulthood 92, and adolescence to young adulthood 93. Longitudinal associations between sleep problems and externalizing behaviors such as hyperactivity, aggression or conduct have tended to be weaker or less consistent, but also have been reported 39, 87-88, 92.…”

Synopsis During the past few decades, studies using multiple research designs have examined whether sleep during childhood and adolescence is related to cognition, behavior, and other aspects of daytime functioning. This paper summarizes recent correlational, case-control, quasi-experimental, and experimental studies, highlighting how the strengths and limitations of each research design are complementary, thereby allowing one to more confidently draw conclusions when viewing the research literature as a whole. Viewed in this manner, published findings suggest that inadequate sleep quality and/or quantity can cause sleepiness, inattention and, very likely, other cognitive and behavioral deficits that significantly impact children and adolescents in important functional settings (e.g., school). This paper then integrates findings from longitudinal studies within a developmental psychopathology model. In this model, inadequate sleep is viewed as a noxious exposure that can, over time, fundamentally alter a child or adolescent's development, resulting in poorer long-term outcomes. Important research questions remain, but the available evidence supports the integration of sleep screening and interventions into routine clinical care and also supports advocacy for public policy changes to improve the sleep of children and adolescents.

“…To assess the probability of current, ie, prevalent, mental health problems, many well-validated screening tools are available to date, such as the SDQ 32 and the PSC. 33 As to forecasting mental problems, we previously created a model for psychopathology in children aged 11, 34 and we studied the predictive value of sociodemographic characteristics, family characteristics, and recent life events using cross-sectional data. 35 As far as we know, this is the first risk score to be applied to children aged around 11 that yields personalized risks of future adolescent mental health problems.…”
