Important Indicator

Background Long-term ‘not in education, employment or training’ (NEET) status is an important indicator of youth marginalisation. Aims To carry out a comprehensive overview of the associations between different psychiatric illnesses and long-term NEET status. Method We used the register-based 1987 Finnish Birth Cohort study, which includes all live births in Finland during that year. The analyses comprised 55 273 individuals after exclusions for intellectual disability, death or emigration. We predicted that psychiatric disorders, diagnosed by specialist services between 1998 and 2007 when the cohort were 10–20 years of age, would be associated with subsequent long-term NEET (defined as NEET for at least 5 years between 2008 and 2015, when they were 20–28 years of age). Results In total, 1438 individuals (2.6%) were long-term NEET during follow-up and the associations between long-term NEET and the 11 diagnostic categories we studied were statistically significant (P < 0.001). In multivariate models we included sociodemographic characteristics and upper secondary education as covariates, and the highest effect sizes, measured by odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI), were found for psychosis (OR = 12.0, 95% CI 9.5–15.2) and autism spectrum disorder (OR = 17.3, 95% CI 11.5–26.0). If individuals had not successfully completed this education, 70.6% of those with autism spectrum disorder and 48.4% of those with psychosis were later long-term NEET. Conclusions Adolescents who receive treatment for psychiatric disorders, particularly autism spectrum disorder or psychosis, need support to access education and employment. This could help to prevent marginalisation in early adulthood.

Abstract Background: Many studies have shown that parents express higher stress when taking care of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, cultural context should be taken into consideration when investigating children's diagnosis and parental quality of life (QOL). Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the pathway relationship among parental QOL, child development, ASD and developmental delay (DD) risk at 3 years of age, and ASD or DD diagnosis 2.5 years later.Methods: A birth cohort study database collected at age 3 and 5.5 years was used (N=1618). The Modified Checklist of Autism in Toddlers, Taiwan Birth Cohort Study Developmental Instrument, and the Short Form-36 was used to assess ASD risk, developmental condition (DD risk), and parental QOL, respectively.Results: By structural equation modeling, an indirect influence was found between children's diagnosis and maternal health QOL. Mothers of children diagnosed with ASD perceived more family support, and those who perceived more family support had better health QOL. Conversely, mothers of children diagnosed with DD perceived higher childcare pressure, and mothers who perceived higher childcare pressure had worse health QOL.Conclusions: The differences in mother's experience when their children are diagnosed with DD and ASD can only be found in pathway analysis, showing the importance of structural equation models. Healthcare personnel should take into consideration the cultural context of the families we encounter, and the vital role family support plays should be taken into consideration when interacting with families from collectivism cultures.

BackgroundMortality has been suggested to be increased in autism spectrum disorder (ASD).AimsTo examine both all-cause and cause-specific mortality in ASD, as well as investigate moderating role of gender and intellectual ability.MethodOdds ratios (ORs) were calculated for a population-based cohort of ASD probands (n = 27 122, diagnosed between 1987 and 2009) compared with gender-, age- and county of residence-matched controls (n = 2 672 185).ResultsDuring the observed period, 24 358 (0.91%) individuals in the general population died, whereas the corresponding figure for individuals with ASD was 706 (2.60%; OR = 2.56; 95% CI 2.38–2.76). Cause-specific analyses showed elevated mortality in ASD for almost all analysed diagnostic categories. Mortality and patterns for cause-specific mortality were partly moderated by gender and general intellectual ability.ConclusionsPremature mortality was markedly increased in ASD owing to a multitude of medical conditions.
