Prospective Longitudinal

IntroductionAccording to the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), around 40% of the 79.5 million forcibly displaced persons in the end of the year 2019 were children. Exposure to violence and mental health problems such as posttraumatic stress disorder are frequently reported among migrant children, but there is a knowledge gap in our understanding of the complex longitudinal interplay between individual, social and societal risk and resilience factors that impact mental health and well-being, quality of life and ability to function and adapt. There is also an urgent societal need to facilitate interdisciplinary and intersectoral collaborative efforts to develop effective methods to prevent, detect and respond to the needs of the migrants. This project will study adolescent and young adult migrants in Sweden using multiple methods such as quantitative analysis of data from a prospective cohort study and qualitative analysis of data gathered from teller-focused interviews. The aim is to understand how different factors impact mental health and integration into the Swedish society. Furthermore, individual experiences related to the migration process and exposure to violence will be studied in detail.Methods and analysisStudy participants will include 490 migrants aged 12–25 years recruited through social services, healthcare, social media and the civil society. A subsample of adolescents (n=160) will be re-interviewed after 1 year. Data are collected using structured and semi-structured interviews along with saliva and hair sampling. Measures include sociodemographic data, longitudinal data on mental health and its determinants, including genotypes and stress-hormone levels, access to healthcare and the process of migration, including settlement in Sweden.Ethics and disseminationThe Regional Ethics Board of Linköping (2018/292-31 and 2018/504-32) and the National Ethics Board (2019–05473,2020–00949 and 2021-03001) have approved the study. Results will be made available to participants, their caregivers, professionals working with migrants, researchers and the funders.

With increasing media choice, particularly through the rise of streaming services, it has become more important for empirical research to examine how youth decide which programs to view, particularly when the content focuses on difficult health topics such as suicide. The present study investigated why adolescents and young adults chose to view or not view season 1 of 13 Reasons Why and how individual-level variables related to adolescents’ and young adults’ viewing. Using survey data gathered from a sample of 1,100 adolescents and young adult viewers and non-viewers of the series in the United States, we examined how participants’ resilience, loneliness, and social anxiety related to whether participants viewed the first season or not. Our descriptive results indicate that adolescents who watched the show reported that it accurately depicted the social realities of their age group, they watched it because friends recommended it, and they found the subject matter to be interesting. Non-viewers reported that they chose not to view the show because the nature of the content was upsetting to them. In addition, results demonstrated that participants’ social anxiety and resilience related to participants’ viewing decisions, such that those with higher social anxiety and higher resilience were more likely to report watching season 1. Together, these data suggest that youth make intentional decisions about mental health-related media use in an attempt to choose content that is a good fit for based on individual characteristics.
