Suicidal behavior is a leading cause of death among adolescents and young adults. In light the ideation-to-action framework, delineation frequency temporal characteristics such during this developmental period crucial.To provide lifetime 12-month prevalence estimates suicidal behavior, including ideation, plan, attempt, in adults general population, to information about age at onset, duration (number years between onset last occurrence) episodes), transition patterns across behaviors.A...
Summary Background: Budesonide (Entocort) is effective for the treatment of collagenous colitis. Aim: To assess long‐term outcome patients after induction clinical remission by budesonide treatment. Methods: Fifty‐one with chronic diarrhoea and histologically proven colitis were enrolled in randomized, placebo‐controlled crossover trial using 9 mg daily 6 weeks.

Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) comprising thoughts and behaviors is common often co-occurring with suicidal behavior like ideation, plan, attempt. As limited data are available for adolescents young adults, this study aims to present prevalence estimates lifetime NSSI, its co-occurrence behavior, conditional probabilities their association socio-demographic characteristics, severity characteristics of health service utilization.The epidemiological Behavior Mind Health (BeMIND) assessed in...
Music performance anxiety (MPA) is considered a social disorder (SAD). Recent conceptualizations, however, challenge existing MPA definitions, distinguishing from SAD. In this study, we aim to provide systematic analysis of interdependencies other disorders through graphical modeling and cluster analysis. Participants were 82 music students ( M age = 23.5 years, SD 3.4 years; 69.5% women) with the majority being vocal (30.5%), string (24.4%), or piano (19.5%) students. was measured using...
ABSTRACT The relationship between stress, hair cortisol and alcohol consumption has mostly been investigated among clinical adult study samples, with inconsistent findings. present aimed to examine cross‐sectional longitudinal associations chronic average past‐year within a population‐based sample of adolescents young adults. At baseline the epidemiological cohort study, N = 1180 individuals aged 14–21 from Dresden, Germany, were assessed (11/2015–12/2016). A maximum 1055 analysed in...
Adolescents and young adults represent the high-risk group for first onset of both DSM-IV mental disorders lifetime suicide attempt (SA). Yet few studies have evaluated temporal association prior subsequent SA in a community sample. We examined (a) such associations using broad range specific disorders, (b) risk experiencing outcome due to comorbidity, (c) proportion SAs that could be attributed disorders. During 10-year prospective study, data were gathered from 3021 subjects, 14-24 years...

Young transgender or gender nonconforming (TGNC) children and adolescents those with a dysphoria (GD) diagnosis show an increased risk of suicidal nonsuicidal self-harming thoughts behaviors (STBs). Data from German-speaking regions on this topic studies comparing self- parent-reported STBs have been scarce. The study aims were therefore to examine: (a) frequencies in German clinical sample GD (b) differences between age groups, as well parent-reports.Two items the Child Behavior Checklist...

Abstract Background Disordered eating behaviors (DEBs), a risk factor for the development of disorders (EDs), are prevalent in young people and different DEBs frequently co-occur. Previous studies on DEB-patterns have largely used traditional retrospective questionnaires to assess DEBs. In addition, most previous did not specifically exclude individuals with clinical EDs, which limits current knowledge concerning purely subclinical patterns present study, we aimed explore phenotypes group...
Previous studies linking experiential avoidance (EA) and eating pathology have largely relied on single measurements based traditional retrospective questionnaires. Taking advantage of available repeated assessments EA disordered behaviors (DEBs) in the everyday lives young people from an epidemiological cohort, we aimed to investigate ecologically valid temporal associations between these constructs.A random population sample N = 1180 14-21-year-olds Dresden, Germany, participated at...
