‘Exploring the differentiation of behavioural and emotional problems across childhood: A prospective longitudinal cohort study’
Open Access paper from JCPP Advances
An individual’s overall burden of behavioural and emotional problems across childhood is associated with increased likelihood of later mental health conditions. However, the relative extent of behavioural versus emotional problems – that is, the extent to which the domains are differentiated from one another – may provide additional information about who is at risk of developing a mental health condition. Here, we seek to validate differentiation as an independent predictor of later mental health conditions, and to explore its aetiology.
