Abstract Background Recent research has demonstrated that domains of social determinants health (SDOH) (e.g. air pollution and context) are associated with psychosis. However, SDOHs have often been studied in isolation. This study investigated distinct exposure profiles, estimated their associations persistent distressing psychotic-like experiences (PLE), evaluated whether involvement physical activity partially explains this association. Methods Analyses included 8,145 young adolescents...
Importance The protective ethnic density effect hypothesis, which suggests that minoritized individuals who grow up in neighborhoods with a high proportion of ethnoracial groups are protected from the effects perceived discrimination, has not been examined among at clinical risk psychosis (CHR-P). This level examination may help identify intervention targets for preventing high-risk individuals. Objective To examine association between area-level during childhood, and outcomes CHR-P. Design,...
Area deprivation index (ADI) has been shown to be associated with reduced hippocampal volume (HV) among youths. The social environment may interact the association between ADI and HV.
Early exposure to neighborhood social fragmentation has been shown be associated with schizophrenia. The impact of and friendships on distressing psychotic-like experiences (PLE) remains unknown. We investigate the relationships between fragmentation, number friends, PLE among early adolescents.
Persistent distressing psychotic-like experiences (PLE) are associated with impaired functioning and future psychopathology. Prior research suggests that physical activities may be protective against However, it is unclear whether interact genetics in the development of psychosis.
<title>Abstract</title> Persistent distressing psychotic-like experiences (PLE) among children may be driven by genetics and neighborhood environmental exposures. However, the gene-environment interaction to persistent PLE is unknown. The study included 6,449 participants from Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study. Genetic risk was measured a multi-ancestry schizophrenia polygenic score (SCZ-PRS). Multi-dimensional neighborhood-level exposures were used form exposome (NE) score....
Background and aims: Problematic gaming has been linked to increased levels of psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) in youth, but the role environmental factors remains unclear. Using affordance theory, this study aimed examine association problematic with PLEs factors. Methods: Participants were 6492 youth (39.2% female) who reported playing video games, from Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study U.S. Measures included gaming, peer environment (number close friends), school (teachers,...
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a highly disabling condition associated with alterations in multiple neurobiological systems, including increases inflammatory function. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) decreases inflammation, however few studies have examined the effects of non-invasive VNS on physiology human subjects, and no patients PTSD. The purpose this study was to assess transcutaneous cervical (tcVNS) responses stress. Thirty subjects history exposure traumatic (N = 10)...
