“…Several mothers reported having developmental or behavioral concerns about their child, but not receiving assistance from their child’s health care provider. Although it is possible that these stories might be missing details about what the health care provider did do, they are consistent with literature reporting deficiencies in systematic developmental screening by pediatric health care providers, as well as deficiencies in pediatric provider comfort with managing mental health problems (Bethell, Reuland, Schor, Abrahms, & Halfon, 2011; Melnyk, Brown, Jones, Kreipe, & Novak, 2003). Our results reconfirm the need for educating pediatric providers about the value of using structured developmental and behavioral screening to identify children in need of referrals, and add to this the potential value of C-ACE screening to identify families in need of additional support to make use of these referrals.…”

Results suggest that screening for C-ACE along with developmental and behavioral screening may help pediatric health care providers to identify children who are both at greatest risk for mental health problems and in need of help in accessing services. Incorporation of nutrition and exercise components into mental health interventions may increase enrollment and retention, as may targeting mental health interventions and referrals to parents with child behavior concerns.

“…The fact that 25.6% of the students participating in the current study had a score indicative of depression is consistent with the findings of other studies that investigated the commonness of depression among adolescents. Studies conducted on the incidence of depression among adolescents reported that the incidence of depression among the aforementioned age group varied between 5% and 30% (16,17). In current study, the mother's excessive protection score, representing an attitude not promoting independence and autonomy, was found to be higher to statistically meaningful extent in students who experienced depression than in those who did not experience depression (p=0.02).…”

ObjectiveEmerging evidence suggests that meeting the 24‐h movement guidelines is associated with optimal mental health. However, there remains some uncertainty regarding this association in children. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the association between meeting the 24‐h movement guidelines and psychosocial health in children.MethodsA cross‐sectional study design was employed to investigate 2005 children aged 9–12 years from four districts of Shanghai, China. The 24‐h movement behaviours were assessed using selected items from the Health Behaviour in School‐aged Children (HBSC) survey questionnaire. Children's self‐rated psychosocial health was evaluated using the Strengths or Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Generalised Linear Models with the ordinal logistic module were employed to analyse the association between meeting the 24‐h movement guidelines and psychosocial health.ResultsThe overall prevalence of meeting all three 24‐h movement recommendations was 10.2%. Among children, 7.9% of them exhibited abnormal total difficulties, with a notable difference between sex (boys: 11.2%, girls: 7.0%, p = 0.001). Meeting all three 24‐h movement behaviour recommendations was associated with reduced total difficulties, emotional symptoms, conduct problems, hyperactivity and peer problems. Furthermore, a dose–response association was observed, indicating that meeting a greater number of 24‐h movement behaviour recommendations was associated with enhanced psychosocial health, particularly in boys.ConclusionThe findings of this study highlight the positive association between meeting the 24‐h movement guidelines and psychosocial health in children. Notably, meeting more of these recommendations was associated with a lower likelihood of experiencing psychosocial problems, with greater benefits observed in boys compared with girls.
