    Associations between adolescent psychosocial factors and disengagement from education and employment in young adulthood among individuals with common mental health problems
    (Springer, 2022-03-11) Tayfur, Sumeyra N.; Prior, Susan; Singh Roy, Anusua; Maciver, Donald; Forsyth, Kirsty; Irvine-Fitzpatrick, Linda
    Transition to adulthood can be a challenging developmental task for adolescents with common mental health problems and is linked to adverse outcomes such as ‘not in education, employment or training’ (NEET). This study investigated longitudinal associations between adolescent psychosocial factors (e.g., self-esteem, aspirations, bullying, physical activity) and later NEET status among individuals with common mental health problems (i.e., depression and anxiety). A secondary data analysis of the Next Steps cohort study was completed using waves 2 and 8. Psychosocial factors, mental health, and background characteristics were captured when participants were aged 15–16 years (wave 2) while still in compulsory education. The 12-item General Health Questionnaire was used to identify adolescents with common mental health problems. The study population consisted of 2224 participants (females 66.8%) of which 1473 (66.2%) were aged 15 years and 751 (33.8%) were aged 16 years in wave 2. The outcome was NEET status at ages 25–26 years (wave 8). The results showed that after adjusting for background characteristics, adolescent self-esteem, locus of control, bullying, physical activity, job aspirations, and attitudes to school predicted NEET status. Educational aspirations, substance use, and behavioural problems were not significantly associated with NEET status. These findings provide new insights into the role of adolescent psychosocial factors in the context of education and employment outcomes for youth at risk and highlight the necessity of targeted mental health support to improve life chances.

    Psychometric evaluation of the Making it CLEAR questionnaire, a resilience measure for older adults
    (Oxford University Press, 2021-09-28) Whitehall, Lucy; Górska, Sylwia; Rush, Robert; Singh Roy, Anusua; Irvine-Fitzpatrick, Linda; Forsyth, Kirsty
    Background and Objectives: Previous efforts to develop a resilience measure for older adults have largely failed to consider the environmental influences on their resilience, and have primarily concentrated on the resilience of community dwelling older adults. Our objective was to validate a new multidimensional measure of resilience, the Making it CLEAR (MiC) questionnaire, for use with older adults at the point of discharge from hospital.

    Adolescent psychosocial factors and participation in education and employment in young adulthood: A systematic review and meta-analyses
    (Elsevier, 2021-07-30) Tayfur, Sumeyra N.; Prior, Susan; Singh Roy, Anusua; Irvine-Fitzpatrick, Linda; Forsyth, Kirsty
    Adolescence is a critical period for successful transition into adulthood. This systematic review of empirical longitudinal evidence investigated the associations between adolescent psychosocial factors and education and employment status in young adulthood. Five electronic databases (MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, ASSIA and ERIC) were searched. Meta-analysis was conducted by using odds ratios (OR) as our common effect size; a narrative synthesis of results was also completed. Of the 8970 references screened, 14 articles were included and mapped into seven domains, namely, behavioral problems, peer problems, substance use, prosocial skills, self-evaluations, aspirations and physical activity. The results showed that behavioral problems (overall OR: 1.48; 95% CI: 1.26–1.74) and peer problems (overall ORadj: 1.27; 95% CI: 1.02–1.57) were significantly associated with being out of education, employment and training (NEET) as young adults. Prosocial skills did not present a significant association (overall OR: 1.03; 95% CI: 0.92–1.15). Other domains were narratively synthesized. The role of substance use was less clear. Only a few studies were available for self-evaluations, aspirations and physical activity domains. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

    A systematic review and correlational meta-analysis of factors associated with resilience of normally aging, community-living older adults
    (Oxford University Press, 2021-09-22) Górska, Sylwia; Singh Roy, Anusua; Whitehall, Lucy; Irvine-Fitzpatrick, Linda; Duffy, Nichola; Forsyth, Kirsty
    Background and objectives: Global policy emphasizes the need to promote healthy aging through supporting inclusivity, safety, and functional independence. Research indicates that efforts to enhance resilience can contribute to meeting these objectives. We employed meta-analytical approach to examine evidence on resilience in community-living older adults.
