Sub-types of insomnia in adolescents: Insights from a quantitative/molecular twin study
Open Access paper from JCPP Advances – ‘Insomnia with short sleep duration has been postulated as more severe than that accompanied by normal/long sleep length. While the short duration subtype is considered to have greater genetic influence than the other subtype, no studies have addressed this question’. Juan J. Madrid-Valero (pic) et al.

Self-control and grit are associated with school performance mainly because of shared genetic effects
Open Access paper from JCPP Advances – ‘By combining the classical twin design with regression analysis, we investigated the role of two non-cognitive factors, self-control and grit, in the prediction of school performance. We did so at the phenotypic, genetic, and environmental level’. Sofieke T. Kevenaar et al.

Subjective and objective experiences of childhood adversity: a meta-analysis of their agreement and relationships with psychopathology
Open Access paper from the JCPP – ‘Researchers use both subjective self-report and objective measures, such as official records, to investigate the impact of childhood adversity on psychopathology. However, it is unclear whether subjective and objective measures of childhood adversity (a) show agreement, and (b) differentially predict psychopathology. To address this, we conducted a pre-registered meta-analysis to examine the agreement between subjective and objective measures of childhood adversity, and their prediction of psychopathology’. Emma R. Francis (pic) et al.

Research Review: Current evidence for avoidant restrictive food intake disorder: Implications for clinical practice and future directions
Open Access paper from JCPP Advances – ARFID (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder) is a relatively new diagnostic term covering a number of well-recognised, clinically significant disturbances in eating behaviour unrelated to body weight/shape concerns. Its phenotypic heterogeneity combined with much about the condition remaining unknown, can contribute to uncertainties about best practice. While other reviews of the evidence base for ARFID exist, few specifically target health care professionals and implications for clinical practice. Tanith Archibald and Rachel Bryant-Waugh.
