Mental Health and Functioning in School Age Children of Female Entertainment Workers in Cambodia

Abstract: Globally, approximately 10% - 20% of children and adolescents experience mental health problems and the majority of them are living in low- and middle-income countries. Children of female sex workers are often exposed to unsafe environments, traumatic experiences and a mentally ill parent, putting them at risk for developing mental health problems themselves.

“…Experiencing trauma can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and negatively impact brain function in early automatic and late conscious processing in both affective and nonaffective contexts 1 . For example, a trauma can lead to an increased fear response due to an overactive limbic system 2 , a difficulty to regulate memories due to an alteration of the hippocampal function 3 , and a deficit in emotion regulation and attentional bias towards threatening stimuli due to a deficit in prefrontal cortical inhibition of the amygdala 4 . It can also lead to a deficit in information processing, including (pre-)attentive processing of unexpected stimuli [5][6][7] , encoding new stimuli 8 , or filtering out irrelevant information 8,9 .…”

“…Measure translation and validation. The CSSI, PHQ-9, and GAD-7 had pre-existing Khmer versions widely used clinically and in research in Cambodia (Ean et al, 2019) that are generally considered as valid assessment instruments (Foundation for Psychocultural Research, 2022; U.S. AID, 2022). For the other three measures, which did not have pre-existing versions, the questionnaires were first reviewed and translated by the second author who is a native Khmer speaker fluent in English, a clinical psychologist, and university psychology professor, with consultation from the last author who is a native English speaker and university professor of clinical psychology.…”
