“…This is a well-documented finding in non-22q11.2DS research which has indicated that early symptoms of internalizing behaviors related to anxiety and depression in childhood have a negative impact on social outcomes in adolescence (Korhonen et al, 2014) and adulthood (Essau, Lewinsohn, Olaya, & Seeley, 2014; Maughan, Collishaw, & Stringaris, 2013). Internalizing symptoms have also been identified as related to functional outcomes (not specific to social functioning) in 22q11.2DS.…”

Background The primary objectives of the current prospective longitudinal study were to (a) describe social functioning outcomes and (b) identify childhood predictors of social functioning in young adults with 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome (22q11.2DS). Method Childhood predictors of young adult social functioning were examined. Family environment and parental stress in adolescence were investigated as potential mediators between childhood variables and adult social functioning. Results Parent rated childhood internalizing symptoms significantly predicted young adult social functioning in 22q11.2DS, even after controlling for concurrent positive symptoms of psychosis, and problem behaviors contributing to parenting stress in adolescence partially mediated this relationship. Conclusions These findings highlight child internalizing symptoms and adolescent problem behaviors as potential targets for social functioning interventions in 22q11.2DS.

“…A handful of studies have identified developmental trajectories of internalizing problems from childhood to adolescence (Fanti and Henrich 2010;Korhonen et al, 2014;Letcher et al 2009;Nivard et al, 2017;Sterba et al 2007), showing between three and six trajectory groups. Using diverse measures including the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and DAWBA, all of these studies identified both high and low trajectories, showing stable levels of either high or low internalizing problems, respectively, from childhood to adolescence.…”

“…Using diverse measures including the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and DAWBA, all of these studies identified both high and low trajectories, showing stable levels of either high or low internalizing problems, respectively, from childhood to adolescence. Of these, the studies examining data from childhood through middle or late adolescence revealed both increasing and decreasing groups, where children show either an increase or decrease, respectively, from childhood to adolescence (Korhonen et al, 2014;Letcher et al 2009;Nivard et al, 2017). One of these studies also examined externalizing scores and modeled their co-occurrence across childhood and adolescence, showing an association particularly when problems started early (Nivard et al, 2017).…”

Despite trends indicating worsening internalizing problems, characterized by anxiety and depression, there is dearth of research examining gender differences in developmental trajectories of internalizing problems from early childhood to adolescence. Drawing on the UK Millennium Cohort Study (n = 17,206, 49% female), this study examines trajectories of parent-reported, clinically-meaningful (reflecting the top 10%) internalizing problems from ages 3 to 14 years and their early predictors and adolescent outcomes. Group-based modelling revealed three trajectories when examining boys and girls together, but there were significant gender differences. When examining boys and girls separately, four trajectories were identified including two relatively stable trajectories showing either high or low probabilities of internalizing problems. An increasing trajectory was also found for both boys and girls, showing an increasing probability of internalizing problems which continued to rise for girls, but levelled off for boys from age 11. A decreasing trajectory was revealed for boys, while a moderate but stable trajectory was identified for girls. Boys and girls in the increasing and high probability groups were more likely to report a number of problematic outcomes including high BMI, self-harm, low mental wellbeing, depressive symptoms, and low educational motivation than the low group. Girls on the increasing trajectory also reported more cigarette and cannabis use and early sexual activity at age 14 compared to girls on the low trajectory. Findings suggest that intervention strategies take a systemic view, targeting not only internal feelings, but also behaviours potentially associated with later negative outcomes.

“…Distinct trajectories among children and adolescents are evident for a variety of mental health‐related constructs such as internalizing (social and emotional) problems (Dekker et al., ; Korhonen et al., ; Mazza, Fleming, Abbott, Haggerty, & Catalano, ; Weeks et al., ), externalizing (attention, hyperactivity, and conduct) problems (Korhonen et al., ; Pingault et al., ), and quality of life (Vella, Magee, & Cliff, ). Studies demonstrate that children fluctuate in their risk for mental health‐related problems, including moves above and below clinical and subclinical threshold values (Korhonen et al., ). Furthermore, it is likely that the distinct trajectories of various mental health‐related problems show similar trajectories for multiple discreet problems (Korhonen et al., ).…”

“…Half of psychiatric disorders have their onset before the age of 14 years (Kessler et al, 2005), and tend to persist throughout childhood and adolescence into adulthood (Costello, Mustillo, Erkanli, Keeler, & Angold, 2003). The early intervention of psychiatric disorders is critical to reducing the burden of problems during childhood (Tabone, Thompson, & Wiley, 2010;Thompson, 2009) and for healthy functioning later in life, including higher educational attainment and greater social competence (Dekker et al, 2007;Korhonen et al, 2014;Pingault et al, 2011). Hence, assessing children's overall levels of risk for mental health problems is an important endeavor.…”

Background Children fluctuate in their risk for mental health‐related problems. While children have demonstrated consistent trajectories for various types of mental health problems, the existence of developmental trajectories of overall risk of mental health problems has not been explored. This study aimed to identify distinct trajectories of overall mental health risk among children from ages 4–12 years. A secondary objective was to identify predictors of the mental health risk trajectories. Method Data from the first five waves of the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC) were used to assess mental health risk and potential predictors. The primary parent (n = 3717) completed questionnaires, time‐use diaries, and face‐to‐face interviews over the five waves. Growth mixture modeling was used to identify distinct latent trajectories of mental health risk. Multinomial logistic regression was used to identify predictors of the trajectories. Results Six distinct trajectories of mental health risk were identified: Low Difficulty (72.9%), Improvers (9.7%), Decliners (7.9%), Early Decliners/Late Improvers (4.7%), Early Improvers/Late Decliners (2.7%), and High Difficulty (2.2%). Child sex, sociability, parental warmth, sports participation, and household income were identified as significant predictors of mental health trajectories. Conclusions There are distinct trajectories of overall risk for mental health problems during childhood. Research should focus on the High Difficulties group and the Early Improvers/Late Decliners group to address the predictors and improve access to early mental health services.
