DOI: 10.13056/acamh.13668
In this Papers Podcast, Dr. Franjo Ivankovic discusses their co-authored JCPP paper ‘Optimization of self- or parent-reported psychiatric phenotypes in longitudinal studies’. There is an overview of the paper, methodology, key findings, and implications for practice.
Learning Objectives
1. The reliability and validity of consistent self-endorsement of a given psychiatric diagnosis.
2. Insight into the low agreement between parent-reported, child-reported, and clinician reported psychiatric phenotypes and why these different informants might report different levels of mental health difficulties when the target child is the same.
3. The over-endorsement and under-endorsement of symptoms of mental health difficulties when self-reporting and the impact on the prevalence of mental health conditions.
4. Insight into the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study and the narrow diagnosis construct.
5. Whether there is evidence of a relationship between the over-endorsement of symptoms of mental health conditions and a high level of public awareness of the symptoms of those conditions.
6. The implications of this study for other researchers and to what extent over-endorsement is a problem across the board in cohort studies and population level investigations, as well as recommendations moving forward.
