    Excessive body weight in developmental coordination disorder: A systematic review and meta-analysis
    (Elsevier, 2024) Rodríguez Romero, D. (Diana); Cortese, S. (Samuele); Arrondo, G. (Gonzalo); Magallon-Recalde, S. (Sara); Gambra, L. (Leyre); Gándara, C. (Carmen); Lizoain, P. (Pablo); Paiva, U. (Úrsula)
    Evidence on the link between developmental coordination disorder (DCD) and obesity and overweight is mixed. Based on a pre-registered protocol (PROSPERO: CRD42023429432), we conducted the first systematic review/meta-analysis on the association between DCD and excessive weight. Web of Science, PubMed and an institutional database aggregator were searched until the 18th of December 2023. We assessed study quality using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and study heterogeneity using Q and I2 statistics. Data from 22 studies were combined, comprising 11,330 individuals out of which 1861 had DCD. The main analysis showed a significant association between DCD and higher body weight (OR:1.87, 95 % CI =1.43, 2.44). Meta-regression analyses indicated that the relationship was mediated by age, with stronger effects in studies with higher mean age (p 0.004). We conclude that DCD is associated with obesity and overweight, and this association increases with age. Our study could help to implement targeted prevention and intervention measures.

    Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder as a risk factor for being involved in intimate partner violence and sexual violence: a systematic review and meta-analysis
    (Cambridge University Press, 2023) Cortese, S. (Samuele); Arrondo, G. (Gonzalo); Magallon-Recalde, S. (Sara); Osorio, A. (Alfonso); Lopez-del-Burgo, C. (Cristina)
    Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) and sexual violence (SV) are significant problems world-wide, and they affect women disproportionally. Whether individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are at an increased risk of being involved in these types of violence is unclear. Methods: We carried out a systematic review and meta-analysis (PROSPERO registration CRD42022348165) of the associations between ADHD and being the victim or perpetrator of IPV and SV. Ratios of occurrence of violence were pooled in random-effects models and study risk of bias was evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Results: A search on multiple databases, carried out on 7 October 2022, yielded 14 eligible studies (1 111 557 individuals). Analyses showed a higher risk of ADHD individuals being involved in IPV as perpetrators (six studies, OR 2.5, 95% CI 1.51-4.15) or victims (four studies, OR 1.78, 95% CI 1.06-3.0). Likewise, individuals with ADHD were at increased risk of being perpetrators (three studies, OR 2.73, 95% CI 1.35-5.51) or victims of SV (six studies, OR 1.84, 95% CI 1.51-2.24). Results were overall robust to different analytical choices. Conclusions: Individuals with ADHD are at an increased risk of being involved in cases of violence, namely IPV and SV, either as victims or perpetrators. Although the causal path or mediating variables for these results are still unclear, this increased risk should inform evidence-based psychoeducation with individuals with ADHD, their families, and partners about romantic relationships and sexuality.

    Adolescents’ alcohol use: does the type of leisure activity matter? A cross-national study
    (MDPI, 2021) Benitez, E. (Edgar); Irala, J. (Jokin) de; Koning, I. (Ina); Albertos-San-José, A. (Aránzazu)
    The main objective of this study was to analyze the relationship between structured, unstructured, and family leisure activities on the frequency of adolescent alcohol intake across three different countries (Spain, Peru, and The Netherlands). The self-control of adolescents was also investigated as a moderator in the relationship between leisure activities and alcohol consumption. Methodology: This research involved 4608 adolescents aged between 12 and 17 from three countries (Spain, Peru, and The Netherlands). In Spain and Peru, data was collected through a self-report questionnaire which was part of the Your Life project. In The Netherlands, a self-questionnaire was used, collected by the University of Utrecht. A multiple logistic regression was performed for each country. Results: The results showed that participation in unstructured leisure activities increased the likelihood of drinking more frequently and more heavily in all three countries. Structured leisure activities, in general, did not have a significant predictive effect on alcohol consumption in any of the countries. Family leisure activities reduced the risk of engaging in yearly alcohol use and yearly binge drinking among adolescents, especially in The Netherlands and Spain. The protective effect of family leisure and unstructured leisure risk on yearly alcohol use applied especially to Dutch adolescents with a low level of self-control. Discussion: The article emphasizes the need for parents to engage in leisure activities with their child; participation in unstructured activities is not to be encouraged.

    Maternal and paternal parenting styles as a whole: validation of the simple form of the Parenting Style Evaluation Scale
    (2021) Fuente-Arias, J. (Jesús) de la; Benitez, E. (Edgar); Balaguer-Estaña, A.J. (Álvaro J.); Osorio, A. (Alfonso)
    La Escala para la Evaluación del Estilo Parental (EEEP) pregunta a los adolescentes sobre los estilos educativos de sus padres por separado (“tu padre” y “tu madre”) o de forma conjunta (“tus padres”), pero solo se ha evaluado la validez en la versión por separado. El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar la validez de las inferencias de la versión conjunta. Se reclutó una muestra de 1507 adolescentes, de 12 a 18 años. Se realizaron análisis factoriales exploratorios y confirmatorios en dos submuestras independientes. Después se probó un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales para comprobar la asociación de las subescalas de la EEEP con desenlaces de los adolescentes (optimismo, pesimismo y resultados académicos). Los resultados muestran buenas medidas de ajuste de la estructura del instrumento. Además, las subescalas mostraron asociación con los desenlaces. La EEEP puede ser usada con fiabilidad en su forma conjunta, resultando en una reducción de ítems, los cual es a menudo beneficioso para la investigación.

    Structural empirical model of personal positive youth development, parenting, and school climate
    (2021) Fuente-Arias, J. (Jesús) de la; Benitez, E. (Edgar); Balaguer-Estaña, A.J. (Álvaro J.); Osorio, A. (Alfonso)
    This study tested an empirical model of the relationship between Personal Positive Youth Development (PPYD) and two contextual factors: Positive Parenting (PP), and Perception of the Climate and Functioning of the School (PcfS). The hypothesis tested was that a positive relationship with parents and a positive perception of the school will contribute to the prediction of PPYD. The sample was composed of 1507 adolescents recruited in 10 Spanish schools who were aged between 12 and 18 years and 52% were female. PPYD was evaluated through Dispositional optimism, Self-competence, and Sense of coherence. PP was evaluated through Affect and communication, Autonomy granting, Humor, and Self-disclosure. PcfS was evaluated through School climate, School bonds, Clarity of rules and values, and Empowerment. Previous reliability and validity analyses of the constructs were carried out, and correlational analyses and structural predictions were made. The results show that both PP and PcfS were associated with better scores in PPYD. Also, a positive correlation between those two contextual factors was found. Implications for applied research are discussed.

    Combining interdisciplinarity and creative design - A powerful strategy to increase palliative care awareness within a university community
    (Elsevier, 2022) Naya-Villaverde, C. (Carlos); Gómez, B. (Beatriz); Acilu, A. (Aitor); Centeno, C. (Carlos); Sandgren, A. (Anna); Reigada, C. (Carla); Rivas, S. (Sonia); Hermida-Romero, S. (Santiago); Carvajal, A. (Ana); Tabera-Roldán, A. (Andrés)
    Society’s understanding of palliative care has room for improvement. Although the World Health Organisation highlighted palliative care as a human right, many people still lack access to this crucial form of treatment. The paucity of understanding and social discussion surrounding palliative care has, moreover, negatively impacted its development and implementation. This study therefore aims to construct a strategy that will empower a specific community to solve their own palliative care-related misunderstandings. Using Participatory Action Research and Design Thinking methodologies and adopting the strategy of Public Engagement in Responsible Research and Innovation, a design group worked for three months through five virtual focus groups. Moving through the phases of empathizing, defining, ideation, prototyping, and testing, the design group generated 33 ideas to address palliative care-related problems. Ideas related to self- learning, the use of technology, and the exchange of personal experiences are highlighted as innovative ways to promote palliative care. The design group adopted a variety of strategies, used disruptive tools, and created and tested rapid prototypes to discover novel solutions. This method of working, centred on interdisciplinarity and creativity, presents an efficient way to involve the members of a community in solving their own problems.

    Hubs of belief networks across sociodemographic and ideological groups
    (Springer, 2022) Sepulcre, J. (Jorge); Güell-Pelayo, F. (Francisco); Bernácer-María, J. (Javier); Camina, E. (Eduardo)
    Beliefs are essential components of the human mind, as they define personal identity, integration and adaptation to social groups. Most theoretical studies suggest that beliefs are organized as structured networks: the so-called belief system. According to these studies and their empirical implementation using graph-theoretical approaches, a belief is any proposition considered as true by the respondent. In a recent contribution, we introduced a novel operationalization: a proposition is a belief if (1) it is taken to be true; and (2) the subject declares to be willing to hold it even if irrefutable evidence were hypothetically argued against it. Here, we implement this operationalization using a graph theory approach to investigate the network organization of the belief system in a sample of 108 participants, as well as the differences between key ideological (left- vs. right-wingers) and sociodemographic features (younger vs. older, female vs. male). We identified a well-coordinated network of interlocked spiritual, prosocial and nature-related beliefs, which displays a dense core of 10 hub nodes. Moreover, we observed how specific social liberalist beliefs and transcendental or individualistic/prosocial viewpoints are articulated within left- and right-wingers networks or younger and older participants. Interestingly, we observed that females tend to engage in denser belief networks than male respondents. In conclusion, our research expands tangible scientific evidence of the belief system of humans through the network study of belief reports, which in turn opens innovative ways to study belief systems in social and clinical samples.

    Internal developmental assets and substance use among Hispanic adolescents. A cross-sectional study
    (Wiley, 2021) Belintxon, M. (Maider); Balaguer-Estaña, A.J. (Álvaro J.); Osorio, A. (Alfonso); Vidaurreta, M. (Marta); Calatrava, M. (María)
    Aims: To determine the associations between internal assets (planning and decision- making, interpersonal competence and commitment to learning) and substance use (tobacco, alcohol, binge drinking, marijuana use and other drugs).Design: A cross-sectional study was conducted in four countries (Chile, Mexico, Spain and Peru).Methods: Adolescents aged 12–18 self-completed a multi-purpose questionnaire be-tween 2016 and 2019. Multiple logistic regressions and structural equation models were performed to analyse the association between internal assets (planning and decision- making, interpersonal competence, and commitment to learning) and sub-stance use.Results: The results indicate that planning and decision- making and commitment to learning are conducive to the prevention of substance use. On the contrary, interper-sonal competence was not associated with substance use.Conclusion: The present study shows that planning and decision- making and com-mitment to learning can be relevant factors in explaining substance use during ado-lescence. Internal assets can be an important aspect to include in health promotion interventions with children, youth and families to prevent substance use. These find-ings may be useful for researchers, schools, paediatric nurse practitioners, and health professionals in general to design health programs focused on children and adoles-cents. Furthermore, the Developmental Assets framework has been proved as a suit-able frame of reference for paediatric nurse practitioners to assess and develop child and adolescent positive development and design health promotion interventions to prevent substance use.

    Activities and relationships with parents as key ecological assets that encourage personal positive youth development
    (Wiley, 2021) Balaguer-Estaña, A.J. (Álvaro J.); Orejudo, S. (Santos); Osorio, A. (Alfonso); Lopez-del-Burgo, C. (Cristina); Rosa, P.A. (Pedro Antonio) de la
    Scientific literature has shown contextual factors thatpredict youth development, and family variables are themost important ones. In this study, we propose a modelthat explains the relation between family variables (re-lationship with parents and family activities) and PersonalPositive Youth Development (assessed through Life sa-tisfaction, Interiority, and Self‐control), across differentcultures. We recruited 2867 adolescents aged 12–18 years(52% female) from three countries: Spain, Mexico, andPeru. They completed an anonymous questionnaire. Werun exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, andstructural equation modelling, testing for invariance acrosscountries and sexes. In all subsamples, positive family re-lationships were associated with adolescents' Life Sa-tisfaction. In addition, time invested on family activities wasassociated with Interiority and with Self‐control. However,some differences across cultures and sex were found in thespecific associations. Theoretical and practical implicationsare discussed regarding how to improve adolescent devel-opment through family life

    Association between autism spectrum disorder and diabetes: systematic review and meta-analysis
    (Elsevier, 2022) Shin, J.I. (Jae Il); Gabellone, A. (Alessandra); Cortese, S. (Samuele); Iturmendi-Sabater, I. (Iciar); Arrondo, G. (Gonzalo); Solmi, M. (Marco); Chica-Duarte, D. (Diego) de la; Piqué, I.M. (Isabella M.); Margari, L. (Lucia); Marzulli, L. (Lucia)
    There is mixed evidence on the link between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and diabetes. We conducted the first systematic review/meta-analysis on their association. Based on a pre-registered protocol (PROSPERO: CRD42021261114), we searched Pubmed, Ovid, and Web of Science databases up to 6 December 2021, with no language/type of document restrictions. We assessed study quality using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). We included 24 studies (total: 3427,773 individuals; 237,529 with ASD and 92,832 with diabetes) in the systematic review and 20 in the meta-analysis (mean stars number on the NOS: 5.89/10). There was a significant association, albeit characterized by significant heterogeneity, when pooling unadjusted OR (1.535, 95% CI = 1.109-2.126), which remained significant when restricting the analysis to children and type 2 diabetes, but became non-significant when considering adjusted ORs (OR: 1.528, 95% CI = 0.954-2.448). No significant prospective association was found (n = 2) on diabetes predicting ASD (HR: 1.232, 0.826-11.837). Therefore, the association between ASD and diabetes is likely confounded by demographic and clinical factors that should be systematically investigated in future studies.
