Three-generation households and Child Mental Health in European countries
Social psychiatry and psychiatric epidemiology, 2018Co-Authors: Viviane Kovess Masfety, Sigita Lesinskiene, Zlatka Mihova, Roy Otten, Carlijn Aarnink, Adina Bitfoi, Mauro Giovanni Carta, Dietmar Goelitz, Mathilde M. HuskyAbstract:Purpose: To evaluate the associations between the presence of a grand parent at home that is three-generation household, with Children Mental Health in diverse countries whether this situation is frequent or not. Methods: Data from the School Children Mental Health in Europe cross-sectional survey in six countries (n = 4582) were used to examine the association between three-generation households and Child Mental Health across Europe. The parent and teacher Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire was combined to assess Child Mental clinical problems. Results: Overall, 25.13% of European families live with at least one grandparent: 5.46% in Western and 29.70% in Eastern Europe. Controlling for key sociodemographic variables and for country of residence, the presence of a grandparent is associated with an increased risk for Child Mental Health problems in the total sample (OR 1.37, p = 0.002). In two-parent homes, the effect of the presence of a grandparent is significant (OR 1.40, p = 0.026), while it is not in single-parent homes. In each country, the presence of a grandparent is a risk for either externalizing or internalizing problems. Conclusions: Programs may be developed to educate elderly people to better respect their Children’s role as parents so having a grandparent in the home can become an asset for family members rather than a burden.

Maternal Problem Drinking and Child Mental Health
Substance use & misuse, 2017Co-Authors: Mathilde M. Husky, Katherine M. Keyes, Ava Hamilton, Anastasia Stragalinou, Ondine Pez, Rowella Kuijpers, Sigita Lesinskiene, Zlatka Mihova, Roy Otten, Viviane Kovess-masfétyAbstract:ABSTRACTBackground: Offspring of individuals with alcohol use disorders have been shown to have elevated risk for Mental Health problems. Objectives: To examine the association between maternal problem drinking and Child Mental Health as assessed by three informants in three European countries. Methods: Data were drawn from the School Child Mental Health in Europe study. Maternal alcohol use was assessed using the alcohol use disorders identification test. Child Mental Health was assessed using the mother and teacher versions of the strengths and difficulties questionnaire, and the Child self-reported Dominic interactive. Analyses were performed on 2,678 individuals, 6–11 year olds. Results: Adjusting for variables associated with maternal drinking, among Children eight years old or younger, excessive drinking was not significantly associated with Mental Health problems, whether reported by the mother, teacher or by the Child. However, among girls eight years old and above, problem drinking was associated...

Risk factors for Child Mental Health problems in Lithuania: The role of parental nationality
Comprehensive Psychiatry, 2017Co-Authors: Viviane Kovess-masféty, Mathilde M. Husky, Sigita Lesinskiene, Anders Boyd, Christophe Fermanian, Ondine PezAbstract:Background We compare the Mental Health status of Children who reside in Lithuania with parents who are either Lithuanian nationals or non-Lithuanian nationals. Method Data were drawn from the School Child Mental Health Europe survey (SCMHE), a cross-sectional survey of school Children aged 6–11 years. A total of 1152 Lithuanian Children participated, among them 11.7% from a non-Lithuanian family. Child Mental Health was assessed using the Dominique Interactive (DI) and the parent- and teacher Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Parental attitudes were evaluated, and socio-demographics were collected. Results Overall 26.7% of non-Lithuanian versus 17.2% of Lithuanian Children reported having an internalizing disorder (p = 0.01) mainly due to separation anxiety (16.4% versus 10.2%, p = 0.04). Odds ratio (OR) for Child-reported internalizing disorders was 1.86 (95% CI = 1.17–2.96) once adjusted for other factors including being a girl, to be younger, parental unemployment and low caring and low autonomy parental attitudes which were associated with greater odds of internalizing disorders. In addition, 31.9% of non-Lithuanian reported suicidal thoughts versus 22.0% of Lithuanian Children p = .02); OR = 1.60 (95% CI = 1.04–2.46) once adjusted for single parent, parental unemployment, parental alcohol problems and overreactivity attitude. Conclusions Being a non-national minority in Lithuania is a risk factor for Child Mental Health. These findings suggest that further studies are needed to inform local policy-makers on targeted prevention and intervention programs in these Children.

Service utilization by Children with conduct disorders: findings from the 2004 Great Britain Child Mental Health survey
European Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 2009Co-Authors: Raghuram Shivram, Panos Vostanis, John Bankart, Howard Meltzer, Tamsin Ford, Robert GoodmanAbstract:Children with conduct disorders (CD) and their families are in contact with multiple agencies, but there is limited evidence on their patterns of service utilization. The aim of this study was to establish the patterns, barriers and correlates of service use by analysing the cohort of the 2004 Great Britain Child Mental Health survey ( = 7,977). Use of social services was significantly higher by Children with CD than emotional disorders (ED) in the absence of co-morbidity, while use of specialist Child Mental Health and paediatric was significantly higher by Children with hyperkinetic disorders (HD) than CD. Children who had comorbid physical disorders used more primary Healthcare services compared to those without physical disorders. Utilization of specialist Child Mental heath and social services was significantly higher among Children with unsocialized CD than socialized CD and oppositional defiant disorders. Services utilization and its correlates varied with the type of service. Overall, specialist services use was associated with co-morbidity with learning disabilities, physical and psychiatric disorders. Several correlates of services use in CD appeared non-specific, i.e. associated with use of different services indicating the possibility of indiscriminate use of different types of services. The findings led to the conclusion that there is the need for effective organization and co-ordination of services, and clear care pathways. Involvement of specialist Child Mental Health services should be requested in the presence of Mental Health co-morbidity.

strengths and difficulties questionnaire as a dimensional measure of Child Mental Health
Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 2009Co-Authors: Anna Goodman, Robert GoodmanAbstract:OBJECTIVE: To provide the first explicit evaluation of the dimensionality of the total difficulties score of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), a widely used measure of Child Mental Health. We do so by validating the SDQ across its full range against the prevalence of clinical disorder. METHOD: We use two large (n = 18,415) nationally-representative surveys of Children and adolescents aged 5 to 16 years in the general British population. Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaires were completed separately by parents, teachers, and Children aged 11 to 16 years, and Children also received a multi-informant clinician-rated clinical diagnosis. Approximately 7,912 Children from the baseline survey were also reassessed for clinical diagnosis at 3-year follow-up. RESULTS: Across the full range of the parent, teacher, and youth SDQ, Children with higher total difficulty scores have greater psychopathology as judged by the prevalence of clinical disorder. This was true cross-sectionally and also in predicting to disorder status 3 years later. There was no evidence of threshold effects for the SDQ at either high or low scores, but rather the odds of disorder increased at a constant rate across the range (odds ratios between 1.14 and 1.28 per 1-point increase in SDQ score). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings support the use of the SDQ as a genuinely dimensional measure of Child Mental Health.

russian Child Mental Health a cross sectional study of prevalence and risk factors
European Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, 2005Co-Authors: Robert Goodman, Helena R Slobodskaya, Gennadij G KnyazevAbstract:The fall of communism and subsequent economic crises have been followed by major social and Health problems. High rates of Child Mental Health problems are frequently cited by the Russian media, though there is little relevant evidence. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and associations of Child Mental Health problems in Russia using internationally recognised measures and diagnostic systems. A two-stage, two-phase cross-sectional survey of the Mental Health of 7- to 14-year-olds involved random sampling of schools, followed by random sampling of pupils from school lists. A sample of 448 Children was obtained, representing an 83% participation rate. In the first phase, screening measures of psychopathology and risk were administered to parents, teachers and 11- to 14-year-olds. In the second phase, more detailed psychiatric assessments were carried out for subgroups of screen-positive and screen-negative Children (N=172). The prevalence of psychiatric disorder was about 70% higher than that recently found in Britain with comparable measures, but there were few differences between Britain and Russia in type of disorder or key risk factors. There is a pressing need for evidence-based Mental Health treatments to be made widely available to Russian Children and adolescents.
