Susceptibility or Vulnerability? The Role of Basal Cortisol in Psychopathology
Journal of Adolescent HealthVol. 56Issue 5p475–476Published online: March 13, 2015- Emma K. Adam
Cited in Scopus: 0In this issue of the Journal of Adolescent Health, Zandstra et al. [1] use an impressive sample of 1,664 participants from the TRacking Adolescents' Individual Lives Survey in the Netherlands to test whether basal cortisol levels, measured at awakening, predicted changes in mental health symptoms over the transition to middle school. Importantly, rather than assuming the transition to middle school is stressful as was the case in the past research that motivated this article [2], the authors examined whether the transition was perceived by adolescents to be a positive or negative experience and whether basal cortisol interacted with negative and positive experiences of the transition to predict changes in mental health. - Editorial
Uncovering the Pathways Linking Depression and Physical Health
Journal of Adolescent HealthVol. 45Issue 4p321–322Published in issue: October, 2009- Emma K. Adam
Cited in Scopus: 0The contributions of Wickrama and colleagues [1] and Dockray and colleagues [2] to this issue of the Journal of Adolescent Health are both independently important and perfectly complementary. Each makes a unique contribution to our understanding of the associations between depression and physical health in populations of adolescents and young adults, and each has differing methodological strengths. The Wickrama et al study uses three waves of existing data from a large, representative, longitudinal sample (Add Health) to examine prospective associations between depression and multiple self-reported health outcomes measured 6 years later.
