Overview

Cross-sectional survey identifies mental health risk profiles in adolescents, highlighting the role of childhood adversities and family environment.

Key Points

  • This research aims to identify distinct mental health and behavioral risk profiles among adolescents while examining the influence of childhood adversities and family dynamics.
  • Conducted a cross-sectional school-based survey in Bangladesh with 1040 participants.
  • Applied latent class analysis to determine mental health risk profiles based on various emotional and behavioral symptoms.
  • Used multinomial logistic regression to analyze relationships between risk profiles and adverse childhood experiences, family/peer factors, and sociodemographic data.
  • Identified three risk classes: low risk (36.3%), moderate risk (36.1%), and high risk (27.6%).
  • High-risk group demonstrated significant internalizing and externalizing symptoms, linked to trauma and peer support deficits.
  • Sexual abuse (aOR = 2.64) and witnessing violence against the mother (aOR = 3.56) were the strongest predictors of high-risk membership.
