“…Categories of study content were informed by our understanding of key risk and protective factors and are organized by collection mode. Data sources include: (1) data linkage to administrative health or government records relating to service use, medication use, or education which provides access to more detailed information with better reliability, less bias, and in a way that can reduce respondent burden (Harron et al, 2017); ( 2) ecological momentary assessment (EMA) which involves continual assessment of study participants in their natural environments using participant-reports or sensors increasing ecological validity, reducing recall bias and random error, and in some instances increasing sensitivity to change (Moskowitz & Young, 2006); (3) observational assessments, where study participants' behaviors are observed for specified characteristics while engaged in a task assessing study participants' interactions with their environment and other people (Floyd et al, 1998); and (4) biological samples which increase our understanding of biological determinants, progression and sequelae, and the genetic basis underlying psychopathology (Insel et al, 2010).…”

IntroductionLongitudinal studies of child mental disorders in the general population (herein study) investigate trends in prevalence, incidence, risk/protective factors, and sequelae for disorders. They are time and resource intensive but offer life‐course perspectives and examination of causal mechanisms. Comprehensive syntheses of the methods of existing studies will provide an understanding of studies conducted to date, inventory studies, and inform the planning of new longitudinal studies.MethodsA systematic review of the research literature in MEDLINE, EMBASE, and PsycINFO was conducted in December 2022 for longitudinal studies of child mental disorders in the general population. Records were grouped by study and assessed for eligibility. Data were extracted from one of four sources: a record reporting study methodology, a record documenting child mental disorder prevalence, study websites, or user guides. Narrative and tabular syntheses of the scope and design features of studies were generated.ResultsThere were 18,133 unique records for 487 studies—159 of these were eligible for inclusion. Studies occurred from 1934 to 2019 worldwide, with data collection across 1 to 68 time points, with 70% of studies ongoing. Baseline sample sizes ranged from n = 151 to 64,136. Studies were most frequently conducted in the United States and at the city/town level. Internalizing disorders and disruptive, impulse control, and conduct disorders were the most frequently assessed mental disorders. Of studies reporting methods of disorder assessment, almost all used measurement scales. Individual, familial and environmental risk and protective factors and sequelae were examined.ConclusionsThese results summarize characteristics of existing longitudinal studies of child mental disorders in the general population, provide an understanding of studies conducted to date, encourage comprehensive and consistent reporting of study methodology to facilitate meta‐analytic syntheses of longitudinal evidence, and offer recommendations and suggestions for the design of future studies.

The trajectories and predictors of childhood behavior problems remain unclear, this study aims to examine this research topic using nine waves of data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study. A total of 1,1779 and 1,1785 children (ages 5 to 13 years) and their parents and teachers were recruited to examine the development of internalizing and externalizing problems, respectively. Results showed that internalizing problems had three developmental patterns, such as a low-increased pattern, a low-stable pattern, and a medium-decreased pattern, and externalizing problems had five developmental patterns, including a high-decreased pattern, a medium-decreased pattern, a low-high increased pattern, a low-increased pattern, and a low-stable pattern. The race, gender, family socioeconomic status, and self-control of the children predicted these trajectories. Findings suggest that changes in childhood behavior problems are heterogeneous and that individual differences should be considered when studying changes in behavior problems.
