By current estimates, at any given time, approximately 11% to 20% of children in the United States have a behavioral or emotional disorder, as defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition. Between 37% and 39% of children will have a behavioral or emotional disorder diagnosed by 16 years of age, regardless of geographic location in the United States. Behavioral and emotional problems and concerns in children and adolescents are not being reliably identified or treated in the US health system. This clinical report focuses on the need to increase behavioral screening and offers potential changes in practice and the health system, as well as the research needed to accomplish this. This report also (1) reviews the prevalence of behavioral and emotional disorders, (2) describes factors affecting the emergence of behavioral and emotional problems, (3) articulates the current state of detection of these problems in pediatric primary care, (4) describes barriers to screening and means to overcome those barriers, and (5) discusses potential changes at a practice and systems level that are needed to facilitate successful behavioral and emotional screening. Highlighted and discussed are the many factors at the level of the pediatric practice, health system, and society contributing to these behavioral and emotional problems. SCOPE OF THE PROBLEM AND NEED FOR THIS REPORTBehavioral and emotional problems during childhood are common, often undetected, and frequently not treated despite being responsible for significant morbidity and mortality. By current estimates, approximately 11% to 20% of children in the United States have a behavioral or emotional disorder at any given time. 1,2 Estimated prevalence rates are similar in young 2-to 5-year-old children. Developmental and behavioral health disorders are now the top 5 chronic pediatric conditions causing functional impairment. 3,4 Even greater numbers of children have This document is

“…Taken together, studies examining sleep and comorbidity in ADHD samples point to potential bidirectional associations. However, all of these studies were conducted in school-aged children/young adolescents Hansen et al 2011Hansen et al , 2014Lycett et al 2014a, b;Moreau et al 2014) or in samples with a wide age range (ages 5/6-18) (Accardo et al 2012;Sung et al 2008), leaving it unclear how sleep and mental health are interconnected in youth with ADHD during middle and older adolescence when rates of certain mental health problems such as conduct disorder (Merikangas et al 2010), substance use , and depression/ suicidal ideation (Hinshaw et al 2012) are higher. Further, aside from the recent 1-year longitudinal studies by Becker et al (2014) and Lycett et al (2014a), all of the studies completed to date have been cross-sectional, leaving it unclear if comorbidities predict increases in sleep problems (and vice versa) over longer developmental periods or whether comorbid mental health symptoms differentially impact the sleep of adolescents with and without ADHD.…”

Sleep problems in adolescence have been identified as an international public health issue. Over the past few decades, notable advances have been made in our understanding of the patterns and consequences of sleep in adolescence. Despite these important gains, there is much about the role of sleep in adolescence that remains to be understood. This Special Issue brings together studies that examine sleep as it specifically pertains to adolescent development and adjustment. In this introductory article, we argue for the importance of grounding the study of sleep and adolescence in developmental science and a developmental psychopathology framework. First, a review of the literature is used to outline a biopsychosocial and contextual model of sleep in adolescence. Second, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is used as an exemplar of the proposed model given the pervasiveness of sleep problems among youth with ADHD and the likelihood that sleep problems and ADHD symptoms are interconnected in complex ways. Finally, a brief introduction to the empirical articles included in the Special Issue is provided, with particular attention given to how these articles fit within the proposed biopsychosocial and contextual model. Along with the framework proposed in this article, the studies included in this Special Issue advance the current literature and point to critical directions for future research.

“…At the same time, adolescence is the period in which many mental disorders begin to develop [3]. The overall prevalence of disorders with severe impairment and/or distress was 22.2 % in a nationally representative sample of US adolescents [4]. The median age of onset was 11 years for behavior disorders and 13 years for mood disorders.…”

Purpose The aim of the study was to investigate whether perceived family functioning of adolescent is moderating or mediating the longitudinal association of adolescent internalizing and externalizing psychopathology with quality of life (QoL) after 6 months in the general population. Methods Using a cluster sampling technique in one Norwegian county 1331, 10-to 16-year-old students were included in the study (51 % girls). Parents completed the Child Behavior Checklist for the assessment of adolescent psychopathology at Time 1. The students completed the General Functioning Conclusions Family functioning significantly mediated the longitudinal association between psychopathology and QoL. Because the family remains an important social domain for adolescents, it must be an important consideration when attempting to reduce or alleviate psychopathology in youth and improve the quality of their life experience throughout this period.
