The National Center for School Crisis and Bereavement at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and Save the Children are announcing a strategic partnership, designed to support grieving children throughout the United States.
Children who try alcohol may experience mental health and personality effects as they transition to early adolescence. An analysis of alcohol sampling behavior in children ages 9 to 14, published in Alcohol: Clinical and Experimental Research, found that children who had poor response inhibition and increased alcohol sipping behaviors might be more likely to have accelerated changes in personality traits and depression scores over time. The study suggests that even minimal alcohol experimentation in early adolescence may influence later alcohol use as well as personality and mental health issues.
More than 82% of Americans age 50 to 80 take one or more kinds of prescription medication, and 80% of them say they’d be open to stopping one or more of those drugs -- with major differences among people with different health conditions.

A new study in the Journal of the American Heart Association, led by Lindsay Rosman, PhD, at the UNC School of Medicine, is the first to show that wearable devices, such as smart watches, can significantly amplify anxiety and increase healthcare use in patients with Afib.
People don’t experience food insecurity the same way. Often, it's the mothers who first change their eating habits when food runs low to shield others, especially children, from its effects. To find out what is needed to help everyone have enough to eat, Virginia Tech researchers conducted a study with low-income moms and caregivers.
Andrea Spencer, MD, from Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago received a $3.8 million, five-year grant from the National Institute of Mental Health to investigate the intersection of racism and ADHD in driving increased suicidality in young Black children (6-11 years of age).
Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago is the recipient of close to $1 million, 26-month grant from Cook County Health’s Stronger Together: Building a More Equitable Behavioral Health System in Cook County Initiative.
People with bipolar disorder have a high risk of alcohol use issues, which have been seen as “self medication,” but a new study shows that changes in drinking predict worsening symptoms, not vice versa.
One in eight new moms will experience sadness, hopelessness, and feelings of overwhelm in the first year after having a baby, a statistic that is even higher for those with newborns receiving emergency services. Beyond the “baby blues,” perinatal mood and anxiety disorders - often referred to under the umbrella term “postpartum depression” - are serious illnesses that can have significant and lasting impact on the patient, infant, and family.

Led by the University of Utah, a meta-analysis of existing research shows exposure to nature, even as little as 10 minutes, could benefit those with diagnosed mental illness.
Medical debt is significantly more prevalent among adults with depression or anxiety compared to adults without these mental disorders, according to a new study led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Among adults with depression or anxiety, those with medical debt were twice as likely to report having delayed or forgone mental health care in the previous 12 months compared to those without medical debt.
The recent surge in people seeking mental health care across the country has led to long wait times for first appointments with therapists and psychiatrists. Now, a new study offers hope that while they wait to get care, patients could still get some relief by using evidence-based smartphone apps and wearable devices to track sleep and activity.
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis report that psilocybin, the active ingredient in magic mushrooms, destabilizes a critical network of brain areas involved in introspective thinking. The findings provide a neurobiological explanation for the drug’s mind-bending effects.
Talent development and pipeline building are top priorities for people leaders in the agriculture and food industry. Spreading knowledge and exciting today's youth about the industry's difference-making opportunities are essential to creating a future workforce that will feed the world.
A University of Washington study found that teens open Instagram because they’re bored. Then they sift through largely irrelevant content, mostly feeling bored, while seeking interesting bits to share with their friends in direct messages. Then, eventually bored with what researchers call a “content soup,” they log off.
