Duration: 21 mins DOI: 10.13056/26220

Description

In this Papers Podcast, Bushra Farooq discusses her JCPP paper ‘The relationship between type, timing and duration of exposure to adverse childhood experiences and adolescent self-harm and depression: findings from three UK prospective population-based cohorts’. There is an overview of the paper, methodology, key findings, and implications for practice.

Learning Objectives

1. Insight into the three UK prospective population-based cohorts used and why the use of three cohorts.
2. Exploring the structured life course modelling approach and the accumulation of risk hypothesis.
3. The impact of different developmental stages of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on depression and self-harm.
4. Why the prevalence of adolescent depression and self-harm differed between the cohorts.
5. Why it is necessary to look at self-harm and depression separately.
6. The association between individual ACEs and depression and self-harm.
7. Exposure to parental mental health problems as the most prevalent ACEs in all three cohorts.
8. Implications for clinical practice and other researchers.
