“…Relevant items are reversed, so that a higher total score (transformed to range from 0 to 100) indicates better mental health. The MHI-5 focuses on depression and anxiety symptoms; a score of 60 or higher is considered “good” mental health for adolescents, based on associations of this cut-off with diagnostic criteria for depression and anxiety (Berwick et al, 1991; Kelly, Dunstan, Lloyd, & Fone, 2008), and has been used with AI/ANs in previous research (Pfefferle & Spitznagel, 2009).…”

Identifying as American Indian/Alaska Native in Urban Areas: Implications for Adolescent Behavioral Health and Well-Being

American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) youth exhibit multiple health disparities, including high rates of alcohol and other drug (AOD) use, violence and delinquency, and mental health problems. Approximately 70% of AI/AN youth reside in urban areas, where negative outcomes on behavioral health and well-being are often high. Identity development may be particularly complex in urban settings, where youth may face more fragmented and lower density AI/AN communities, as well as mixed racial-ethnic ancestry and decreased familiarity with AI/AN lifeways. This study examines racial-ethnic and cultural identity among AI/AN adolescents and associations with behavioral health and well-being by analyzing quantitative data collected from a baseline assessment of 185 AI/AN urban adolescents from California who were part of a substance use intervention study. Adolescents who identified as AI/AN on their survey reported better mental health, less alcohol and marijuana use, lower rates of delinquency, and increased happiness and spiritual health.

“…Parental recognition of children’s problems partly depends on levels of distress or burden experienced by the parents in raising their child 12,34. Parental distress reduces the threshold for parents perceiving their children’s behaviors as “problematic.”10,29,35,36 Also, high levels of stress reduce parental self-efficacy to cope with parenting demands and other daily challenges, making parents more likely to seek help from pediatric primary care services 37.…”

Objective: To identify child behaviors and types of impairment that increase the likelihood of maternal recognition of emotional/behavioral problems (EBP) in children and adolescents. Methods: Maternal-reported data were obtained from two subsamples of 11-to-16-year-olds derived from cross-sectional studies conducted in two Brazilian municipalities: Itaboraí, state of Rio de Janeiro (n=480), and Embu, state of Sã o Paulo (n=217). The Itaboraí study involved a representative sample of 6-to-16-year-olds (n=1,248; response rate = 86.0%) selected from the Family Health Program registry, which covered 85.5% of the municipal population. The Embu study was based on a probabilistic sample of clusters of eligible households (women aged 15-49 years, child o 18 years), with one mother-child pair selected randomly per household (n=813; response rate = 82.4%). The outcome variable was mother's opinion of whether her child had EBP. Potential correlates included types of child behaviors (hyperactivity/conduct/emotional problems as isolated or combined conditions) and impairment, assessed using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ); child's age and gender; maternal education and anxiety/depression (assessed using the Self-Reporting Questionnaire [SRQ]). Results: Multivariate regression models identified the following correlates of maternal perception of child EBP: comorbidity (co-occurring hyperactivity/conduct/emotional problems), emotional problems alone, and interference of problems with classroom learning and friendships. Conclusion: Comorbidity of different problem types, emotional problems alone, and interference with classroom learning and friendships increase the likelihood of maternal recognition of EBP in children.

“…Various concepts and models of developmental psychopathology attempt to explain the determinants and mechanisms of health or mental disorders in children, adolescents and adults, pointing to the changing importance of biological, personality and social factors (family and non-family) at different stages of life (Cicchettii & Toth, 2009; Pfefferle & Spitznagel, 2009 ). The indeterministic development model assumes that development is a hierarchical process in which the individual, using biological, mental and environmental resources and capabilities on the one hand and dealing with risk factors on the other, develops individual predispositions and is involved in the implementation of development tasks indicated in specific socio-cultural conditions in subsequent phases.…”

Being raised by a mother suffering from schizophrenia may affect the fulfilment of developmental tasks. The aim of the study was to determine which psychological factors (attachment, emotion regulation) and social factors (parental care and social support) determine the implementation of developmental tasks, taking into account the age of the child at the time that schizophrenia was diagnosed in the mother (before 10 vs. over 10 years of age; B10y vs. O10y).
