Abstract Introduction Detecting functional decline from normal aging to dementia is relevant for diagnostic and prognostic purposes. Therefore, the Amsterdam IADL Questionnaire (A‐IADL‐Q) was developed: a 70‐item proxy‐based tool with good psychometric properties. We aimed design short version while preserving its quality. Methods Study partners of subjects ( n = 1355), ranging cognitively subjects, completed original A‐IADL‐Q. selected items using stepwise procedure combining missing data,...

Abstract Background: Worldwide, the division between Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) Adult (AMHS) has frequently resulted in fragmented care with an unprepared, non-gradual transition. To improve continuity of other service transition experiences, user input is essential. However, such previous qualitative studies are from a decade ago or focused on one mental disorder country. The aim present study was to learn users’ experiences suggested improvements. Methods:...
Highly accessible youth initiatives worldwide aim to prevent worsening of mental health problems, but research into outcomes over time is scarce.
Children of parents with a mental disorder and/or addiction (COPMI) are at increased risk developing disorder. In spite preventive interventions that can decrease the problem development, COPMI not automatically offered help. 2013, mandatory check was implemented in Netherlands, requiring every health care professional to whether their adult patients have children and assess these children's safety needs. Earlier research has shown gap between regulations actual integration clinical practice...
Background: Sexually exploited young men are prevalent, yet underrepresented in clinical practice, policy and research. There multiple barriers that often prevent to disclose seek or receive support, such as gender norms, limited awareness of victimization feelings guilt shame.

Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is the second most common type of at an early age. In last two decades three genetic mutations causing FTD have been discovered: MAPT, GRN and C9orf72 repeat expansion, covering familial cases FTD. Comparing neuropsychological profiles in carriers would enable a better differentiation, even distinguishing between different underlying causes.
