Medical rehabilitation measures with a comprehensive range of treatment options represent an essential pillar of care. As obesity is associated with a wide range of psychosocial burdens, the question arises as to whether psychotherapeutic services should be given even greater consideration. Objective The main goal was to examine the rate of psychological problems among children and adolescents with obesity and their association with the weight loss course. Material and methods The sample consisted of 220 children and adolescents with obesity (8-16 years, M = 13.11 years, SD +/- 1.88 years; 54.5\% female) who participated in an inpatient rehabilitation. Emotional and behavioral problems were assessed (strengths and difficulties questionnaire, SDQ via parental report) at the beginning of rehabilitation as well as 6 and 12 months after completion. Anthropometric data for determination of the weight status were collected by medical personnel of the clinics or in the follow-up by family doctors. Results Almost half of the children and adolescents (48.6\%) showed abnormal values and girls in particular were affected significantly more often. The descriptive inspection after rehabilitation revealed a similarly high proportion. The presence of psychological problems had a significant negative effect on the weight course. Conclusion Psychological problems should be given greater consideration in the context of obesity therapy. On the one hand potentially burdened children should be identified by screening, on the other hand psychotherapy to reduce psychosocial strain should be an integral part of the treatment concept.}, language = {de} } @article{AdnanSrsicVenticichetal.2020, author = {Adnan, Hassan Sami and Srsic, Amanda and Venticich, Pete Milos and Townend, David M.R.}, title = {Using AI for mental health analysis and prediction in school surveys}, series = {European journal of public health}, volume = {30}, journal = {European journal of public health}, publisher = {Oxford Univ.

Schools are a key setting for mental health promotion and illness prevention. One in five children and adolescents have a mental disorder, about half of mental disorders beginning before the age of 14. Beneficial and explainable artificial intelligence can replace current paper- based and online approaches to school mental health surveys. This can enhance data acquisition, interoperability, data driven analysis, trust and compliance. This paper presents a model for using chatbots for non-obtrusive data collection and supervised machine learning models for data analysis; and discusses ethical considerations pertaining to the use of these models. Methods: For data acquisition, the proposed model uses chatbots which interact with students. The conversation log acts as the source of raw data for the machine learning. Pre-processing of the data is automated by filtering for keywords and phrases. Existing survey results, obtained through current paper-based data collection methods, are evaluated by domain experts (health professionals). These can be used to create a test dataset to validate the machine learning models. Supervised learning can then be deployed to classify specific behaviour and mental health patterns. Results: We present a model that can be used to improve upon current paper-based data collection and manual data analysis methods. An open-source GitHub repository contains necessary tools and components of this model. Privacy is respected through rigorous observance of confidentiality and data protection requirements. Critical reflection on these ethics and law aspects is included in the project. Conclusions: This model strengthens mental health surveillance in schools. The same tools and components could be applied to other public health data. Future extensions of this model could also incorporate unsupervised learning to find clusters and patterns of unknown effects.}, language = {en} } @article{JuangSchachnerPevecZimmeretal.2020, author = {Juang, Linda P. and Schachner, Maja Katharina and Pevec-Zimmer, Sharleen and Moffitt, Ursula Elinor}, title = {The Identity Project intervention in Germany}, series = {New directions for child and adolescent development}, volume = {173}, journal = {New directions for child and adolescent development}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {San Fransisco}, issn = {1534-8687}, doi = {10.1002/cad.20379}, pages = {65 -- 82}, year = {2020}, abstract = {We examined whether German adolescents who participated in an adapted 8-week school-based intervention, the Identity Project, reported greater changes in heritage and global identities and perceptions of classroom cultural climate.

But even though some studies on risk factors for disordered eating in sports exist, most research on this topic is based on cross-sectional data with limitations on causal inferences. We examined sports-related risk factors for disordered eating in a 1-year longitudinal study with two assessment points. The participants were 65 adolescent athletes from aesthetic sports (mean age 14.0 +/- 2.2years) who completed measures of disordered eating, social pressure from the sports environment, sports-related body dissatisfaction, desire to be leaner to improve sports performance, and emotional distress resulting from missed exercise sessions. All variables were relatively stable in the mean. Individual changes in the desire to be leaner to improve sports performance were associated with individual changes in disordered eating. Furthermore, a cross-lagged partial correlation analysis showed that the desire to be leaner to improve sports performance was predictive of disordered eating and not vice versa. The results of our study indicate that athletes are more at risk for disordered eating if they believe it is possible to enhance their sports performance through weight regulation.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Krentz2012, author = {Krentz, Eva Maria}, title = {Essst{\"o}rungen bei Jugendlichen im Hochleistungssport : eine Analyse sportbezogener Einflussfaktoren}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-59933}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, year = {2012}, abstract = {Essst{\"o}rungen, wie Anorexia Nervosa oder Bulimia Nervorsa, gehen mit einer hohen psychischen Belastung einher und k{\"o}nnen gesundheitliche Sch{\"a}den zur Folge haben. Bei Athleten mit einer Essst{\"o}rung kann es dar{\"u}ber hinaus zu Einbußen in der Sportleistung kommen. Gerade f{\"u}r den Hochleistungssport ist es daher wichtig zu wissen, welches Risiko f{\"u}r Essst{\"o}rungen besteht und wodurch das Risiko bedingt wird. Bisherige Studien zeigen deutliche Unterschiede zwischen den Sportarten. Eliteathleten aus {\"a}sthetischen Sportarten, wie rhythmische Sportgymnastik oder Eiskunstlauf, scheinen ein besonders hohes Essst{\"o}rungsrisiko aufzuweisen. Deutlich geringere Pr{\"a}valenzraten finden sich in Ballsportarten, wie Handball oder Basketball. Um zu verstehen, welche Aspekte der Sportart das Essst{\"o}rungsrisiko beeinflussen, besch{\"a}ftigt sich die vorliegende Arbeit mit der Rolle sportbezogener Variablen. In die Studien einbezogen wurden insgesamt 171 Athleten zwischen 11 und 18 Jahren (im Mittel 14.1 ± 1.8 Jahre) aus {\"a}sthetischen Sportarten und Ballsportarten, die einen Fragebogenpaket mit Instrumenten zu gest{\"o}rtem Essverhalten, allgemeiner K{\"o}rperunzufriedenheit, sozialem Druck im Sport, sportbezogener K{\"o}rperunzufriedenheit, Schlankheitsstreben zur Leistungssteigerung und negativen Gef{\"u}hle bei Trainingsausfall ausf{\"u}llten. Nach einem Jahr wieder befragt wurden 65 Athleten aus {\"a}sthetischen Sportarten. Nach Kontrolle von Alter, Geschlecht, BMI und allgemeiner K{\"o}rperunzufriedenheit trugen sportbezogene Variablen signifikant zur weiteren Varianzaufkl{\"a}rung gest{\"o}rten Essverhaltens bei. Die L{\"a}ngsschnittanalysen best{\"a}tigten einen Risikofaktorstatus f{\"u}r Schlankheitsstreben zur Leistungssteigerung. Zusammenh{\"a}nge zwischen sportbezogenen Aspekten und gest{\"o}rtem Essverhalten zeigten sich sowohl in Hochrisikosportarten f{\"u}r gest{\"o}rtes Essverhalten ({\"a}sthetischen Sportarten), als auch in Niedrigrisikosportarten f{\"u}r gest{\"o}rtes Essverhalten (Ballsportarten). Mit Ausnahme von negativen Gef{\"u}hlen nach Trainingsausfall traten die sportbezogenen Variabeln h{\"a}ufiger in den {\"a}sthetischen Sportarten auf als in den Ballsportarten. Die eigenen Befunde verdeutlichen somit, dass der Einbezug potentieller sportbezogener Risikofaktoren - zus{\"a}tzlich zu den allgemeinen Risikofaktoren - zum besseren Verst{\"a}ndnis der Essst{\"o}rungssymptomatik von Athleten beitr{\"a}gt. Vor allem die Bedeutung von Gewicht f{\"u}r die Leistung beeinflusst das Essst{\"o}rungsrisiko bei Athleten und ist st{\"a}rker ausgepr{\"a}gt in Hochrisikosportarten f{\"u}r Essst{\"o}rungssymptomatik.}, language = {mul} }
