“…The available data indicate that comorbidity is substantial between FS and SUB disorders as well as between SUB disorders [24], this comorbidity aggregates in families [38], and homotypic as well as heterotypic continuity (comorbidity) occurs with SUB and FS disorders in youths over time [25,39]. That will be the basis of future work using these data.…”

“…While the definition for subthreshold diagnoses are somewhat arbitrary, the methodology reported in previous studies was used in this paper [79–82]. Subthreshold anxiety was defined as exhibiting at least three of fourteen anxiety symptoms of GAD (six symptoms) and panic disorder (eight symptoms), but not meeting full criteria for anxiety disorder (GAD or Panic).…”

Objective To report sex-specific associations between cigarette smoking and DSM-IV disorders, symptoms, and mental health services use related to depression and anxiety in a nationally representative sample of U.S. adolescents. Methods Data on two samples were drawn from the 1999–2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys to examine the association of ever smoking (versus never smoking) with depression (n=1884 12–15 year-olds) and anxiety (n=6336 12–19 year-olds). Sex-specific associations between smoking and DSM-IV diagnoses, subthreshold and severe disorder, symptoms, impairment and mental health services use were assessed using logistic regression modeling. Results Rates of DSM-IV depression and anxiety were increased in adolescent female ever smokers as compared to never smokers (OR=3.9, 95% CI: 1.3–11.3 and OR=10.6, 95% CI: 3.1–37.0, respectively). Females also showed statistically significant increases in severe disorder, subthreshold disorder, all symptoms of major depressive disorder, most symptoms of panic disorder, and increases in severe impairment, especially those related to schoolwork and teachers. Male adolescents showed smaller variations in depression and anxiety by smoking status, but were more likely to seek mental health services. Conclusions Smoking prevention efforts may benefit from specifically targeting female youth who show signs of depression or anxiety diagnoses through a school-based program, while greater benefits with males may be evident through programs integrated into mental health services.

“…Thus, studying broad internalizing and externalizing syndromes has broader applicability to examining intergenerational associations in a community sample for young ages than would focussing on comorbidity between more specific forms of disorders. In addition, symptoms can be serious even when they do not meet diagnostic thresholds (Gotlib et al ., 1995), and accounting for such subthreshold conditions has been found to better account for patterns of familial transmission of psychopathology (Shankman et al ., 2008). In addition, G3 participated in assessments in early childhood, when specific disorders are less differentiated (Weiss and Catron, 1994).…”

Background Few studies have examined gender specific pathways in the intergenerational transmission of internalizing and externalizing behaviours across three generations. Aims The current study considered both parental figures’ internalizing and externalizing symptoms simultaneously and tested path models of the transmission of internalizing and externalizing symptoms from Generation 1 (G1) to Generation 2 (G2) and from G2 to Generation 3 (G3) by focussing on gender-specific pathways. Methods This study used data from the Oregon Youth Study of 206 young men and two associated studies of their intimate partners (Couples Study) and children (Three Generational Study) over 20 years. Results Findings indicated that, in general, mothers’ internalizing behaviour showed robust influence on offspring’s internalizing symptoms across three generations, regardless of gender of the child. G2 men’s externalizing behaviour was further predicted by G1 mothers’ internalizing as well as externalizing behaviour, albeit the latter was only marginally significant. G3 girls’ internalizing and externalizing behaviour was predicted by their fathers’ corresponding behaviour. Overall, fathers’ influence on their sons was limited. Conclusions The findings shed important light on potential gender-specific mechanisms of intergenerational transmission of internalizing and externalizing behaviour.
