Exploring the differentiation of behavioural and emotional problems across childhood: A prospective longitudinal cohort study
Open Access paper from JCPP Advances – ‘Here, we seek to validate differentiation as an independent predictor of later mental health conditions, and to explore its aetiology’. Adrian Dahl Askelund et al.

Can we diagnose mental disorders in children? A large-scale assessment of machine learning on structural neuroimaging of 6916 children in the adolescent brain cognitive development study
Open Access paper from JCPP Advances – ‘Prediction of mental disorders based on neuroimaging is an emerging area of research with promising first results in adults. However, research on the unique demographic of children is underrepresented and it is doubtful whether findings obtained on adults can be transferred to children’. Richard Gaus (pic), Sebastian Pölsterl et al.

Co-development of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and autistic trait trajectories from childhood to early adulthood
Open Access paper from the JCPP – ‘Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism, defined as traits or disorders, commonly co-occur. Developmental trajectories of ADHD and autistic traits both show heterogeneity in onset and course, but little is known about how symptom trajectories co-develop into adulthood.’ Amy Shakeshaft (pic) et al.

Following the children of depressed parents from childhood to adult life: A focus on mood and anxiety disorders
Open Access paper from JCPP Advances – ‘While it is known that depression in a parent increases risk for offspring depression and anxiety, there are relatively few prospective longitudinal studies following the offspring of depressed parents across the transition from adolescence into adulthood – a key period of risk.’ Victoria Powell (pic) et al.

Toward an optimized assessment of adolescent psychopathology risk: Multilevel environmental profiles and child irritability as predictors
Open Access paper from JCPP Advances – ‘To build the foundation for a parsimonious psychopathology risk calculator while capturing the complexity and dynamic nature of the environment, the current study aimed to identify distinct risk and resilience profiles with a wide range of environmental factors guided by Bronfenbrenner’s biopsychosocial ecological system theory.’ Qiongru Yu (pic) et al.

Mothers’ symptoms of anxiety and depression and the development of child temperament: A genetically informative, longitudinal investigation
Open Access paper from JCPP Advances – ‘We explored longitudinal associations between mothers’ emotional symptoms and child temperament traits and adjusted for genetic effects shared across generations’. Y. I. Ahmadzadeh (pic) et al.

Editorial: What’s in a name? Drawing on the examples of autism and schizophrenia, some reflections on diagnostic labels and their future role in child and adolescent psychiatry
Free Access paper from the JCPP – ‘The diagnostic labels that children and adolescents receive feed into their treatment access and future potential but also to their self-identities. […] the choice of labels used in child and adolescent psychiatry should remain a priority, in light of their impact on translational science, treatment and on individuals, alongside the ever-evolving nature of language itself’. Angelica Ronald (pic)

Can repeated intranasal oxytocin administration affect reduced neural sensitivity towards expressive faces in autism? A randomized controlled trial
Paper from the JCPP – ‘Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by difficulties in social communication and interaction. Crucial for efficient social interaction is the ability to quickly and accurately extract information from a person’s face.’ Matthijs Moerkerke (pic) et al.

A cross-lagged twin study of emotional symptoms, social isolation and peer victimisation from early adolescence to emerging adulthood
Open Access paper from JCPP Advances – ‘Our study highlights the necessity to intervene early in adolescence to prevent the escalation of emotional symptoms over time and to consider social isolation and peer victimisation as important risk factors for the long-term persistence of emotional symptoms.’ Geneviève Morneau-Vaillancourt (pic) et al.

Heterogeneity in children’s reading comprehension difficulties: A latent class approach
Open Access paper from JCPP Advances – ‘Poor comprehenders are traditionally identified as having below-average reading comprehension, average-range word reading, and a discrepancy between the two. While oral language tends to be low in poor comprehenders, reading is a complex trait and heterogeneity may go undetected by group-level comparisons.’ Emma James (pic) et al.
