The Little League report, as well as articles in the media since its release, appear to downplay the injury
risk from curveballs, but a close look at the study reveals no categorical statement that throwing curve balls at an
early age is not an injury
risk factor; it says only that «baseline
risk factors for injury to Little League - age pitchers did not point directly to throwing curveballs.»
Meta - analyses of this expanded research base confirm the model's impacts on a range of
risk and protective
factors associated with child maltreatment.7, 8,9 In addition, all of the major home visitation models in the U.S. are currently engaged in a variety of research activities, many of which are resulting in better defined models and more rigorous attention to the key issue of participant enrolment and retention, staff training and quality assurance standards.10 For example, recent findings emerging
from the initial two - year follow - up of the
Early Head Start National Demonstration Project confirm the efficacy of home visitation programs with new parents.

The most recent study report described in these same regions decreased tissue levels of 5 - HT and tryptophan hydroxylase, the synthesizing enzyme for serotonin, and no evidence of excessive serotonin degradation as assessed by levels of 5 - hydroxyindoleacetic acid (the main metabolite of serotonin) or ratios of 5 - hydroxyindoleacetic acid to serotonin.30 A recent article described a significant association between a decrease in medullary 5 - HT1A receptor immunoreactivity and specific SIDS
risk factors, including tobacco smoking.40 These data confirm results
from earlier studies in humans39, 41 and are also consistent with studies in piglets that revealed that postnatal exposure to nicotine decreases medullary 5 - HT1A receptor immunoreactivity.42 Animal studies have revealed that serotonergic neurons located in the medullary raphe and adjacent paragigantocellularis lateralis play important roles in many autonomic functions including the control of respiration, blood pressure, heart rate, thermoregulation, sleep and arousal, and upper airway patency.

For this population - based research, investigators pooled data
from large cohort studies conducted in Asia and included demographic and
risk factor information collected in seven Asian regions
from the
early 1960s through the late 1990s (although most of the studies enrolled participants after the mid-1980s).
«We know

* Recent analyses indicate that environmental
factors associated with vocabulary development and emergent literacy skills are already present among children as
early as 15 months of age.2 By first grade, unfortunately, the repercussions become all too clear: children
from high - income families are likely to know about twice as many words as children
from low - income families, putting these children at a significantly higher
risk for school failure.3
Early menarche remained linked to higher

In 2010, more than 1 in 5 children were reported to be living in poverty.6, 10 Economic disadvantage is among the most potent
risks for behavioral and emotional problems due to increased exposure to environmental, familial, and psychosocial
risks.11 — 13 In families in which parents are in military service, parental deployment and return has been determined to be a
risk factor for behavioral and emotional problems in children.14 Data
from the 2003 National Survey of Children's Health demonstrated a strong linear relationship between increasing number of psychosocial
risks and many poor health outcomes, including social - emotional health.15 The Adverse Childhood Experience Study surveyed 17000 adults about
early traumatic and stressful experiences.
The second study tested this link in a birth cohort of 1265 children and concluded that there was a «direct and specific» link
from adolescent depression to later depression.51 The study design provides a rather stringent test for the outcomes of adolescent depression by accounting for the effects of anxiety disorders,
early cigarette smoking, CDs, alcohol abuse, and a range of other putative
risk factors.
In a recent report, the Institute of Medicine identified 5
risk factors associated with the onset of depression: having a parent or other close biological relative with a mood disorder; experiencing a severely stressful event; having low self - esteem, a sense of low self - efficacy, and a sense of helplessness or hopelessness; being female; and living in poverty.39 This national study of depressive symptoms in mothers of children in kindergarten who attended a Head Start program supports the predictive validity of several of the
risk factors published by the Institute of Medicine and corroborates findings
from several
earlier studies that examine depression in mothers of young children.
In addition, they propose a unique solution, one more akin to the types of strategies used by thoughtful clinicians — namely, children in need might be best identified not only through the presence of
early behavioural signs and symptoms but also through the convergence of other indicators, such as well established
risk factors for adverse outcomes independent
from the behavioural indicators themselves (eg, single parent status, family poverty, neuropsychological functioning, etc).
Adolescence is a critical period for the development of depression with prevalence rates rising sharply
from childhood to
early adulthood.1 Many adult depressive disorders have their first onset in adolescence2 with longer episode duration being the strongest predictor of future problems.3 In addition to increasing the
risk of later mental health problems, adolescent depression is associated with significant educational and social impairment and is a major
risk factor for suicide.1 Providing effective
early interventions to shorten the duration of episodes and potentially reduce the impact on later life is therefore important.3 This study explores this question and compares the effects of...
The intervention sought to reduce specific empirically identified
risk factors for adolescent health and behavior problems: persistent physically aggressive behavior in the
early elementary school grades,9 - 11 academic failure, 12 and poor family management practices including unclear rules, poor monitoring of behavior, and inconsistent or harsh discipline.13, 14 Because being raised in poverty increases
risk for crime, school failure, and school dropout,15 - 17 effects of the intervention on children
from low - income families were of particular interest.
Support

A question for future research is whether
risk factors exert their effects for only a limited period (suggesting that the same
risk factors we measured in
early childhood, such as losing a parent, would predict adult - onset MDD if they occurred in late adolescence) or whether
risk factors are developmentally sensitive, and those that predict juvenile - onset MDD are qualitatively different
from those that predict adult - onset MDD.
Early childhood

from adult onset major depressive disorder
The study replicates the null effect
from an
earlier, smaller and thus underpowered trial.2 It is possible that such interventions need to be delivered over a longer period to reduce vascular and other metabolic
risk factors to depression.5 - 7
Early childhood

from birth to age 9 years.
The current study provides evidence
from a large national pediatric primary care sample that the rates of
risk and reliability of the PSC - 17 found in the current sample were comparable to those reported in the original derivation study collected about 15 years
earlier and that the previously identified
factor structure fit the current data reasonably well.
Because our review of the literature indicated that this set of
risk factors and outcomes had not previously been investigated in a thoroughly comprehensive and systematic manner with longitudinal data, data
from the Children in the Community Study, 27 a prospective longitudinal investigation, were used to investigate whether negative life events or severe interpersonal difficulties during adolescence mediate the association between childhood adversities and suicide attempts during late adolescence or
early adulthood.
That is, regardless of whether MDD persisted beyond childhood, the
early childhood
risk factors distinguished the juvenile - onset groups
from the adult - onset group.
The findings differentiating juvenile - and adult - onset MDD are consistent with results
from family studies, suggesting that juvenile - onset MDD may be a distinct subtype associated with both genetic and
early childhood psychosocial
risk factors.
From a public health perspective,
early interventions in childhood might change or moderate the cycle of homelessness across generations because
early risk factors are often longstanding and drive a trajectory of cumulative
risk, potentially leading to severe psychopathology and social exclusion.
While Rosa did not talk specifically in the Save the Children video about postpartum depression, research shows that stressful life events, including premature birth, are
risk factors for maternal depression.24 Evaluation studies confirm that women who participated in home visiting programs were less likely to demonstrate symptoms of depression and reported improved mental outlook when compared with control groups of women who did not participate in home visiting.25 For example, parents participating in the Child First model — one of the 20 evidence - based models eligible to receive funds
from the Maternal, Infant, and
Early Childhood Home Visiting program — experienced lower levels of stress and depression at the end of the program compared with parents who did not participate.26
A recent investigation
from the UK Millennium Cohort Study found that a variety of parenting, home learning, and
early education
factors explained a small portion of the socioeconomic status (SES) gradients in children's cognitive ability by age 5.2 Although some US studies have examined selected
factors at different stages of childhood, 24 — 27 few have had comprehensive data to examine the socioeconomic distribution of a wide variety of
risk and protective
factors across
early childhood and their role as potential independent mediators of the SES gradients in cognitive ability at kindergarten entry.

Although aggression and anxious - withdrawal are «known»
risk factors for dysfunction, 1,2 they have not been investigated prospectively in school contexts
from early childhood through adolescence, or differentiated as antecedents of children's psychological and school adjustment.
This prospective investigation sought to discriminate children who were both aggressive towards and victimized by peers in the first grade,
from those who were only aggressive, only victimized, or neither (i.e., socially adjusted), using
early child and family
risk factors.
Maternal rejection,

A child who has a
risk factor is a member of a group of children for whom the percentage who will go on to develop an illness, poor mental health, inadequate school achievement, unsuccessful social relationships, etc. is higher than the percentage who will develop such problems in a group lacking the
risk factor.47 The development of any one human being is not perfectly predictable
from one event, even one as powerful as the loss of
early attachment.
Factors unique to relinquishment by a biological parent (e.g.,
early trauma, institutional care, attachment issues) may also elevate
risk for suicidal behavior later in life... adoptees were further distinguished
from non-adoptees by moderately large differences on family discord and smaller differences on academic disengagement,» said Keyes.
