Co-Designed Online Training Program for Worry Management: The Role of Young People With Lived Experience of Worry in Program Development

Ten LEAP members (aged 16‐25 y; female n=8, male n=2) who self-identified as worriers were recruited from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) in South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (SLa M) and a Digital Research Advisory Group in Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust. JS and CRH presented the LEAP opportunity at the Digital Research Advisory Group meeting and asked young people to make contact via email if they were interested in contributing to the project.

Based on available medical examination and questionnaire data and the previous study [2], a wide range of adolescent diseases was considered to define physical-mental multimorbidity. Ultimately, physical conditions examined in this study comprised hypertension, obesity, myopia, and dental caries, while mental morbidity was indicated by the presence of depressive symptoms.

Peer Relationships Are a Direct Cause of the Adolescent Mental Health Crisis: Interpretable Machine Learning Analysis of 2 Large Cohort Studies

Peer Relationships Are a Direct Cause of the Adolescent Mental Health Crisis: Interpretable Machine Learning Analysis of 2 Large Cohort Studies

This result captures a certain stability of mental health problems during adolescence, but the contribution of other factors to the predictions shows that the development of adolescent mental health depends on multiple determinants that go beyond a mere “autoregressive” continuation of baseline mental health problems. Among family factors, mental health problems of the parents were strongly related to mental health problems in their adolescent children.

Likelihood of Leveraging Augmented Reality Technology to Promote HIV Prevention and Treatment Among Adolescent Girls and Young Women in Cameroon: Cross-Sectional Survey

Likelihood of Leveraging Augmented Reality Technology to Promote HIV Prevention and Treatment Among Adolescent Girls and Young Women in Cameroon: Cross-Sectional Survey

In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), the most vulnerable population for HIV is adolescent girls and young women [1]. Among adolescent girls and young women globally, 4 out of every 5 newly diagnosed HIV cases occur in SSA [2,3]. Cameroon, a lower-middle-income country with a population of 29 million, has the highest HIV prevalence rate in West Central Africa. Women, particularly those aged 15‐49 years, are disproportionately affected by the virus [4-7].

SEARCH Study: Text Messages and Automated Phone Reminders for HPV Vaccination in Uganda: Randomized Controlled Trial

SEARCH Study: Text Messages and Automated Phone Reminders for HPV Vaccination in Uganda: Randomized Controlled Trial

Such reminders have also been used for pediatric vaccination studies in African countries such as Kenya and Nigeria [20-25], and in three other non-African low- or middle-income countries (LMIC) [26-28], but not for adolescent vaccines including HPV vaccine. Adolescent vaccination patterns, knowledge, and perceptions differ from those for pediatric vaccination, and interventions in high-income versus low- or middle-income countries also differ [29].

Adolescent Emoji Use in Text-Based Messaging: Focus Group Study

Adolescent Emoji Use in Text-Based Messaging: Focus Group Study

For example, text-based communication is an effective way for healthcare practitioners to reach young or adolescent clients [4] and can help therapists discuss sensitive topics with younger clients [5]. Many parents also surveil the text exchanges of their adolescent children—in a nationwide survey, 64% of parents said they regularly checked the contents of their child’s phone, including text message logs [6].

Using the Healthy Native Youth Implementation Toolbox to Provide Web-Based Adolescent Health Promotion Decision Support to American Indian and Alaska Native Communities: Implementation Study

Native communities may lack implementation readiness to discuss and approach adolescent health, experience difficulty navigating Tribal review and school board approval processes [16], have inadequate funding or program integration that compromises program sustainability, or be geographically isolated with limited access to programs [15,17].
