“…Furthermore, Sansen and colleagues (2014) tested the interaction between CM and relational PV (e.g., social exclusion) and found a significant moderating effect on psychopathology for the self-selected community sample in their study, but did not observe significant interactions for the clinical or student samples [23]. In another recent study, Tremblay-Perreault and Hébert (2020) observed cumulative effects between child sexual abuse and PV in associations with both internalizing and externalizing behaviour problems in a pediatric sample, but did not test interactions [24]. Overall, the current literature provides initial support for cumulative effects of CM and PV co-occurrence, but there is limited evidence of interaction effects.…”

Adolescent health outcomes: associations with child maltreatment and peer victimization

Background Child maltreatment (CM) and peer victimization (PV) are serious issues affecting children and adolescents. Despite the interrelatedness of these exposures, few studies have investigated their co-occurrence and combined impact on health outcomes. The study objectives were to determine the overall and sex-specific prevalence of lifetime exposure to CM and past-month exposure to PV in adolescents, and the impact of CM and PV co-occurrence on non-suicidal self-injury, suicidality, mental health disorders, and physical health conditions. Methods Adolescents aged 14–17 years (n = 2,910) from the 2014 Ontario Child Health Study were included. CM included physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, physical neglect, and exposure to intimate partner violence. PV included school-based, cyber, and discriminatory victimization. Logistic regression was used to compare prevalence by sex, examine independent associations and interaction effects in sex-stratified models and in the entire sample, and cumulative effects in the entire sample. Results About 10% of the sample reported exposure to both CM and PV. Sex differences were as follows: females had increased odds of CM, self-injury, suicidality, and internalizing disorders, and males had greater odds of PV, externalizing disorders, and physical health conditions. Significant cumulative and interaction effects were found in the entire sample and interaction effects were found in sex-stratified models, indicating that the presence of both CM and PV magnifies the effect on self-injury and all suicide outcomes for females, and on suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, and mental health disorders for males. Conclusions Experiencing both CM and PV substantially increases the odds of poor health outcomes among adolescents, and moderating relationships affect females and males differently. Continued research is needed to develop effective prevention strategies and to examine protective factors that may mitigate these adverse health outcomes, including potential sex differences.

“…While some studies rely on parent‐reported measures of internalizing problems, others believe that parents may sometimes bring a significant bias by projecting their own distress onto their child (Tremblay‐Perreault & Hébert, 2020). Teacher measurements could therefore be more objective, as they can compare children's behaviors with each other.…”

Trajectories of team and individual sports participation in childhood and links with internalizing problems

2022

The purpose of this 5‐year longitudinal study is to identify trajectories of team and individual sports participation in childhood, and to compare these trajectories on different types of internalizing problems. Parents reported their children's annual sports participation from the ages of 6–10 (n = 785) and teachers reported internalizing problems (depression, anxiety, social withdrawal) at the beginning and at the end of this period. The study used latent class growth analyses to identify two trajectories of team sports and two trajectories of individual sports participation were identified: (1) high participation, and (2) low participation. Considering baseline level of internalizing problems and gender, children in the high participation team sports trajectory show significantly fewer depression, anxiety, and social withdrawal behaviors at age 10 than those in the low participation team sports trajectory. No differences between individual sports trajectories were observed. Comparison with joint trajectory groups partially confirmed these results but also showed that sustained participation in multiple individual sports could also be linked to decreased anxiety. Our findings suggest that participation in team sports should be encouraged to promote certain aspects of children's mental health.

“…Sexual abuse between young peers can and does happen in buses and schools, as well as in homes (Levine & Kline, 2008;Tremblay-Perreault & Hébert, 2020). All children involved in either side of this peer abuse may potentially be referred for clinical care if the abuse or resulting trauma behaviors are identified, and it is also possible they go untreated for a long time.…”
