Associations between psychosocial work environment factors and first-time and recurrent treatment for depression: a prospective cohort study of 24,226 employees Epidemiol. Psychiatr. Sci. (IF 8.1) Pub Date : 2024-03-18 J. Mathisen, T.-L. Nguyen, I. E. H. Madsen, T. Xu, J. H. Jensen, J. K. Sørensen, R. Rugulies, N. H. Rod
Aims Adverse factors in the psychosocial work environment are associated with the onset of depression among those without a personal history of depression. However, the evidence is sparse regarding whether adverse work factors can also play a role in depression recurrence. This study aimed to prospectively examine whether factors in the psychosocial work environment are associated with first-time and

Greater need but reduced access: a population study of planned and elective surgery rates in adult mental health service users Epidemiol. Psychiatr. Sci. (IF 8.1) Pub Date : 2024-03-18 G. Sara, J. Hamer, P. Gould, J. Curtis, P. Ramanuj, T. A. O’Brien, P. Burgess
Aims Timely access to surgery is an essential part of healthcare. People living with mental health (MH) conditions may have higher rates of chronic illness requiring surgical care but also face barriers to care. There is limited evidence about whether unequal surgical access contributes to health inequalities in this group.Methods We examined 1.22 million surgical procedures in public and private hospitals

Törmälehto, T. Partonen, M. Elovainio, R. Ruuhela, C. Hakulinen, K. Komulainen, J. Airaksinen, A. Väänänen, A. Koskinen, R. Sund
Aims Although seasonality has been documented for mental disorders, it is unknown whether similar patterns can be observed in employee sickness absence from work due to a wide range of mental disorders with different severity level, and to what extent the rate of change in light exposure plays a role. To address these limitations, we used daily based sickness absence records to examine seasonal patterns

Aims There is clear evidence that installing safety barriers is effective in preventing jumping suicides from high-risk bridges with only moderate displacement to other nearby bridges. However, the impact of barriers on jumping suicides across broader geographical areas is not well understood. We examined patterns in jumping suicides across the state of Victoria, Australia, after a safety barrier was

Can we interrogate public databases to fill critical gaps in mental health epidemiology? Testing the association between cannabis and psychosis in the UK as an example Epidemiol. Psychiatr. Sci. (IF 8.1) Pub Date : 2023-06-15 Gianfranco Di Gennaro, Marco Colizzi
The psychoactive properties of cannabis have been known forever. Since 1987, several prospective studies have suggested an increased risk of psychosis among cannabis users, with alternative explanations failing to account for such an effect. A cause–effect relationship has thus been implied. Further evidence has indicated that there is a dose–response relationship, and high-potency cannabis varieties

Population-based cohort study of oral contraceptive use and risk of depression Epidemiol. Psychiatr. Sci. (IF 8.1) Pub Date : 2023-06-12 T. Johansson, S. Vinther Larsen, M. Bui, W. E. Ek, T. Karlsson, Å. Johansson
Aim Research on the effect of oral contraceptive (OC) use on the risk of depression shows inconsistent findings, especially in adult OC users. One possible reason for this inconsistency is the omission of women who discontinue OCs due to adverse mood effects, leading to healthy user bias. To address this issue, we aim to estimate the risk of depression that is associated with the initiation of OCs

Space–time self-harm and suicide clusters in two cities in Taiwan Epidemiol. Psychiatr. Sci. (IF 8.1) Pub Date : 2023-06-01 Fang-Wen Lu, Erica Conway, Ya-Lun Liang, Ying-Yeh Chen, David Gunnell, Shu-Sen Chang
Aims Suicidal acts may cluster in time and space and lead to community concerns about further imitative suicidal episodes. Although suicide clusters have been researched in previous studies, less is known about the clustering of non-fatal suicidal behaviour (self-harm). Furthermore, most previous studies used crude temporal and spatial information, e.g., numbers aggregated by month and residence area

Association between intimate partner violence and leukocyte telomere length: a retrospective cohort study of 144 049 UK Biobank participants Epidemiol. Psychiatr. Sci. (IF 8.1) Pub Date : 2023-04-24 Ko Ling Chan, Camilla K. M. Lo, Xiao-Yan Chen, Patrick Ip, Wing Cheong Leung, Paul G. Shiels, Jill P. Pell, Helen Minnis, Frederick K. Ho
Aims Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a public health challenge negatively affecting victims’ health. Telomere length (TL), a marker for biological ageing, might be reflective of the mechanisms through which IPV leads to adverse health outcomes. The objective of the current study was to explore the association between IPV and leucocyte TL. Methods We conducted an analysis using a subset of the UK

Epidemiology of intimate partner violence perpetration and victimisation in a representative sample Epidemiol. Psychiatr. Sci. (IF 8.1) Pub Date : 2023-04-19 Vera Clemens, Jörg M. Fegert, Barbara Kavemann, Thomas Meysen, Ute Ziegenhain, Elmar Brähler, Andreas Jud
Aims Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a major global public health problem. Although IPV is known to be frequent and perpetration and victimisation often co-occur, large representative samples assessing both, male and female IPV perpetration and victimisation and overlaps are missing to date. Thus, we aimed to assess victimisation and perpetration and its overlap in physical, sexual, psychological

Emergency department presentations with suicide and self-harm ideation: a missed opportunity for intervention? Epidemiol. Psychiatr. Sci. (IF 8.1) Pub Date : 2023-04-18 E. Ross, S. Murphy, D. O’Hagan, A. Maguire, D. O’Reilly
Aims Suicidal ideation constitutes a central element of most theories of suicide and is the defining facet separating suicide from other causes of death such as accidents. However, despite a high worldwide prevalence, most research has focused on suicidal behaviours, such as completed suicide and suicide attempts, while the greater proportion who experienced ideation, which frequently precedes suicidal

Disability and post-traumatic stress symptoms in the Ukrainian General Population during the 2022 Russian Invasion Epidemiol. Psychiatr. Sci. (IF 8.1) Pub Date : 2023-04-18 Tarandeep S. Kang, Robin Goodwin, Yaira Hamama-Raz, Elazar Leshem, Menachem Ben-Ezra
Aims Previous research has shown that people with disabilities are disproportionately vulnerable to symptoms of psychological distress after exposure to armed conflict. Past work has also shown that individuals displaced by conflict are at heightened risk of post-traumatic stress. Using a national online sample of Ukrainians in the early weeks of the 2022 Russian invasion, we aim to examine associations

Secular trends and social inequalities in child behavioural problems across three Brazilian cohort studies (1993, 2004 and 2015) Epidemiol. Psychiatr. Sci. (IF 8.1) Pub Date : 2023-04-17 Michelle Degli Esposti, Alicia Matijasevich, Stephan Collishaw, Thaís Martins-Silva, Iná S. Santos, Ana Maria Baptista Menezes, Marlos Rodrigues Domingues, Fernando C. Wehrmeister, Fernando Barros, Joseph Murray
Aims Previous epidemiological evidence identified a concerning increase in behavioural problems among young children from 1997 to 2008 in Brazil. However, it is unclear whether behavioural problems have continued to increase, if secular changes vary between sociodemographic groups and what might explain changes over time. We aimed to monitor changes in child behavioural problems over a 22-year period
