“…Several prospective community studies of childhood psychopathology repeatedly used wellvalidated standardized assessment procedures that are comparable across time and were able to determine the continuity of emotional and behavioral problems (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6). In these studies, both homotypic continuity (i.e., the prediction of one disorder by the same disorder) and heterotypic continuity (i.e., the prediction of a disorder by another disorder) of psychopathology from childhood up to early adulthood (i.e., up to age 20-30 years) were found (1,(7)(8)(9).…”

Reef J, Diamantopoulou S, van Meurs I, Verhulst F, van der Ende J. Child to adult continuities of psychopathology: a 24-year follow-up.Objective: To determine continuities of mental health problems of children across a 24-year follow-up period. Method: In 1983, parent ratings of emotional and behavioral problems were collected with the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) in a general population sample of 2076 children. Twenty-four years later, 1365 participants completed Adult Self-Reports (ASR) to assess emotional and behavioral problems. Results: Of the participants who were classified as deviant in childhood, 22.2% were also classified as deviant in adulthood. Both homotypic and heterotypic continuity was found. Childhood aggressive, delinquent, and anxious ⁄ depressed problems were associated with most adult psychopathology. Attention problems did not predict later problems independently. Conclusion: Even though assessed with parent-reports in childhood and analogous self-reports in adulthood, and over a large period of 24 years, continuity of psychopathology was found from childhood into adulthood. Anxious ⁄ depressed problems, delinquent behavior and aggressive behavior in childhood are core predictors for adult psychopathology. Significant outcomes• Although we found continuity of psychopathology after 24 years, the great majority of children with emotional and behavioral problems is not at risk for adult problem behavior.• Three fundamental childhood predictors of adult psychopathology were found: aggressive, delinquent, and anxious ⁄ depressed problems.• Attention problems did not independently predict adult psychiatric problems. Limitations• Over 24 years, 33% of the original sample from 1983 was lost to follow-up.• Time dependent environmental covariates were not measured.

“…Achenbach et al (4) tested the 6-year continuities and predictive paths of syndromes from adolescence (subjects aged 13-16 years assessed with the Child Behavior Checklist [5], a parent rating scale) to adulthood (subjects assessed at age 19-22 with the Young Adult Self-Report [6] and the Young Adult Behavior Checklist [6], a parent rating scale). It was found that several young adult syndromes were strongly predicted by their adolescent counterparts.…”

“…It is included here for its relation to the YSR and YASR. Notably, mothers completed a shortened version of the CBCL designed to include the most commonly occurring behaviours in five year olds (265,266), assessing 10 items each from the internalising and externalising scales, 10 items from the social/attention/thought sub-scales, and three additional items. Using a selected subsample of 76 parents at child age 5 years who completed the full version of the CBCL, the correlation between the full and short forms were: internalising = 0.89; externalising = 0.94; total behaviour problems = 0.98 (267).…”

“…However, the current work uses only the broadband syndromes of internalising and externalising behaviour problems from the YSR and YASR as outcomes variables (see tables 7 and 8 in appendix 2 for the included items, subscales, sample sizes and reliability estimates). The ASEBA scales have been used widely in clinical and general population samples and are found to have good reliability and validity (259,260,(262)(263)(264)(265). Further information on how the scales were operationalised and distributed in the sample is found in chapter 5 and appendix 2.…”

Early life course determinants of psychopathology

Background: Mental health problems are associated with a range of adverse outcomes as well as increased risk of later morbidity and premature mortality. Help seeking is uncommon at the early stages of mental health problems. Rather, treatment is often sought by patients after illnesses have already caused considerable distress or had substantial adverse personal, social and economic impacts. The purpose of the current work is to investigate the role of a number of early life course risk factors in the development of later psychopathology, using advanced statistical and epidemiological approaches applied to longitudinal data to ascertain predictive and causal pathways. The overall scope of this thesis is to provide the evidence necessary for developing primary and secondary prevention programs aimed at reducing the burden of mental illness on society. Aim 1:To investigate the role of intrauterine growth restriction in increasing the risk of psychiatric disorders characterised by negative affectivity. Aim 2:To investigate the potential for a transmission of maternal psychopathology to offspring. Aim 3:To assess whether maternal prenatal infection and exposure to stressful life events predict positive psychotic experiences in the offspring directly, or indirectly via postnatal risks and antecedents of psychosis. Aim 4:To investigate potential risk factors for the increased rates of female post-traumatic stress disorders, including gender-specific vulnerability resulting from physical assault and cognitive ability. Methods:The data came from the Mater University Study of Pregnancy (MUSP), a prospective pre-birth cohort study which began in 1981 at the Mater Hospital in Brisbane, Australia. The baseline sample consisted of 7,223 pregnant women attending their first obstetric visit for that pregnancy. Since then follow-ups over 21 years have prospectively ascertained a range of health related data on both mother and child. The current work uses predictor variables and covariates from every measurement period, and behaviour and mental health measures ascertained from the offspring at ages 14 and 21 years. A number of statistical and methodological approaches were applied to estimate the longitudinal association between a number of early life course risk factors and later psychopathology, and to account for attrition. Key findings:The relationship between birth weight and later psychopathology was specific to particular psychiatric diagnoses, namely Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders, and comorbid Major Depression and Generalised Anxiety Disorders. The combination of maternal prenatal depressive, anxious and stress symptoms predicted increased internalising and externalising behaviour problems in adolescent and adult offspring. Prenatal maternal infections and stressful life events predicted later offspring psychotic experiences via the intermediaries of early infant illness iii susceptibility and child behaviour problems respectively. The risk of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder associated with physical assault and ...
