Recommended Action

More children and youth are developing emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) while services are dwindling. Social factors, unsympathetic public policy, and ineffective educational programming are formidable barriers for those of us who care about and work with these young people. However, we cannot desist in our responsibility as professionals. Through expanded expertise and ardent advocacy, we can make a difference in these regressive trends. This article presents an overview of current forces impinging on the field of EBD and offers some recommendations for action.

AimsTo estimate the prevalence of DSM-V mental disorders in a population of Irish emerging adultsBackgroundMental disorders are the leading cause of years lived with disability in youth worldwide. Few studies use gold standard of face to face semi-structured standardized interview tools, and this is a limitation in the estimates of prevalence rates of mental disorder in the extant literature.MethodBriefly, we recruited a representative sample of 212 adolescents and followed them up over ten years. In this wave of the adolescent brain development study, 103 of the initial 212 participants took part, 50 males and 53 females, with a mean age of 20.87 years (SD = 1.3). Psychopathology was assessed in all participants by trained research psychologists and mental health professionals using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-V (SCID).Result52.4% of participants had one lifetime mental disorder, the prevalence rates were highest for Major Depressive Episode (25.3%), Social Anxiety (12.6%) and Generalized Anxiety (8.7%). 50.5% had a history of a mental disorder. 27.2% had 1 lifetime diagnosis, 15.5% had 2 and 7.8% had >2.ConclusionRates of mental disorder rapidly increase during emerging adulthood. In a similar Irish study, 55% of young adults met the criteria for lifetime mental disorder. Whilst the rates of mental disorder are high in young people, previous longitudinal research has suggested that many common mental disorders remit by the late twenties. We suggest a need for further research investigating the comparative later functional and economic outcomes of these young people. Research to date is supportive of a need to expand capacity of youth friendly services for prevention and treatment.Ethical ApprovalEthical approval for the study protocols, including interviews and assessments, along with informed consent documents, was granted by the Beaumont Hospital Medical Ethics Committee in 2016.Acknowledgements:1.

Resumo: O objetivo do estudo foi estimar a ingestão dietética de micronutrientes por adultos em um município do Sul do Brasil segundo sexo e idade, assim como identificar a prevalência de ingestão inadequada de micronutrientes segundo sexo. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, de base populacional, com 1.222 adultos de 22 a 63 anos, residentes em Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brasil. Os dados sobre a ingestão alimentar foram obtidos pela aplicação de dois recordatórios de 24 horas (um no total da amostra e outro em subamostra de 40% dos entrevistados), sendo a ingestão de micronutrientes e as prevalências de inadequação na ingestão estimadas conforme recomendações do National Research Council e do Institute of Medicine. Prevalências elevadas de inadequação para toda a amostra foram vistas para as vitaminas A, C, D e E (variação de 52%-100%). A ingestão de cálcio e ferro foi a mais inadequada entre as mulheres (87,3% e 13,7%, respectivamente), e a de zinco entre os homens (25,1%). Adultos de Florianópolis apresentaram prevalências elevadas de inadequação na ingestão de micronutrientes essenciais.
