Sample and Procedure
A more detailed description of the sample and procedure can be found elsewhere (Mesman and Koot, 2000a, Mesman and Koot, 2000b). The procedures for all three times of assessment were approved by the medical-ethical committee of the Erasmus University Rotterdam/University Hospital Dijkzigt.
Subjects were participants in the second follow-up of a longitudinal study of preschool children from the general population (Koot et al., 1997, Koot and Verhulst, 1991). The original time 1 sample of
Psychopathology at Time 3
As shown in Table 1, at time 3, 22.3% of the sample met criteria for one or more parent-reported DSM-IV diagnoses (N = 74). Prevalence rates for any internalizing and externalizing diagnosis were similar (13.3% and 12.0% respectively). The most prevalent diagnoses were specific phobia (9.0%), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder-inattentive type (6.0%), and oppositional defiant disorder (4.8%). Furthermore, 27 boys and 29 girls received a single diagnosis, 8 boys and 6 girls had two
DISCUSSION
This study reported the independent predictive value of early preschool child and family risk factors regarding internalizing and externalizing DSM-IV diagnoses in preadolescence obtained from parent report. The 1-year prevalence of DSM-IV diagnoses found in our study (22.3%) is slightly higher than in other studies, which report overall prevalences of diagnoses ranging from 17.6% to 21.4% in preadolescent samples (Anderson et al., 1987, Kashani et al., 1989, Velez et al., 1989).

2022, Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent PsychiatryCitation Excerpt :In typically developing youth, population-based studies report homotypic continuity in psychiatric symptoms between childhood and adolescence, which is clearest for behavioral disorders (eg, conduct disorder [CD] and oppositional defiant disorder [ODD]) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).4 Similar patterns of continuity are also found from early to late childhood.6-8 In general, when pathways between childhood and adolescent disorders are adjusted for the co-occurrence of psychiatric diagnoses in childhood, most between-disorder predictions become nonsignificant.4
Paternal mind-mindedness and infant-toddler social-emotional problems
2022, Infant Behavior and DevelopmentCitation Excerpt :Using these tools, longitudinal studies have shown individual differences in social-emotional problems and stability, and predictive validity of these problems assessed as early as infancy and toddlerhood (e.g., Briggs-Gowan et al., 2006; Mäntymaa et al., 2012). There is currently convincing evidence that a significant number of very young children, including infants, have social-emotional problems and that these problems tend to persist over time (Briggs-Gowan et al., 2006; Forbes et al., 2017; Girard et al., 2019; Mäntymaa et al., 2012; Mesman & Koot, 2001). Moreover, these social-emotional problems in very young children are associated with poor mental health, social and academic outcomes later in life (Bornstein et al., 2010; Kimonis & Frick, 2010; Mesman & Koot, 2001; National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Early Child Care Research Network, 2004; Rutter et al., 2006; van der Ende et al., 2016; Veldman et al., 2015).
