Compared to the general population, medical students are at a greater risk of developing a psychological disorder. Various attempts of stress management training in medical school have achieved positive results on minimizing psychological distress; however, there are often limitations. Therefore, the use of a rigorous scientific method is needed. The present study protocol describes a randomized controlled trial to examine the effectiveness of a specifically developed mindfulness-based stress prevention training for medical students that includes selected elements of cognitive behavioral strategies (MediMind). Methods/Design: This study protocol presents a prospective randomized controlled trial, involving four assessment time points: baseline, post-intervention, one-year follow-up and five-year follow-up. The aims include evaluating the effect on stress, coping, psychological morbidity and personality traits with validated measures. Participants are allocated randomly to one of three conditions: MediMind, Autogenic Training or control group. Eligible participants are medical or dental students in the second or eighth semester of a German university. They form a population of approximately 420 students in each academic term. A final total sample size of 126 (at five-year follow-up) is targeted. The trainings (MediMind and Autogenic Training) comprise five weekly sessions lasting 90 minutes each. MediMind will be offered to participants of the control group once the five-year follow-up is completed. The allotment is randomized with a stratified allocation ratio by course of studies, semester, and gender. After descriptive statistics have been evaluated, inferential statistical analysis will be carried out with a repeated measures ANOVA-design with interactions between time and group. Effect sizes will be calculated using partial.-square values. Discussion: Potential limitations of this study are voluntary participation and the risk of attrition, especially concerning participants that are allocated to the control group. Strengths are the study design, namely random allocation, follow-up assessment, the use of control groups and inclusion of participants at different stages of medical training with the possibility of differential analysis.}, language = {en} } @article{EsserIhle2008, author = {Esser, G{\"u}nter and Ihle, Wolfgang}, title = {Abh{\"a}ngigkeit von legalen und illegalen psychotropen Substanzen}, year = {2008}, language = {de} } @article{Esser2002, author = {Esser, G{\"u}nter}, title = {Ablehnung und Vernachl{\"a}ssigung von S{\"a}uglingen}, year = {2002}, language = {de} } @article{KohnEsser2008, author = {Kohn, Juliane and Esser, G{\"u}nter}, title = {ADHS im Jugend- und Erwachsenenalter}, issn = {0026-9298}, doi = {10.1007/s00112-008-1731-x}, year = {2008}, language = {de} } @article{IhleEsserSchmidt2005, author = {Ihle, Wolfgang and Esser, G{\"u}nter and Schmidt, M.

Adolescents with a lifetime diagnosis of ADHD displayed significantly higher smoking activity than non-ADHD controls.

It is characterized by high levels of risk-taking behavior, such as increased alcohol consumption, and is accompanied by various neurobiological changes. Recent studies in animals and humans have revealed that the pubertal stage at first drink (PSFD) significantly impacts drinking behavior in adulthood. Moreover, neuronal alterations of the dopaminergic reward system have been associated with alcohol abuse or addiction. This study aimed to clarify the impact of PSFD on neuronal characteristics of reward processing linked to alcohol-related problems. One hundred sixty-eight healthy young adults from a prospective study covering 25 years participated in a monetary incentive delay task measured with simultaneous EEG-fMRI. PSFD was determined according to the age at menarche or Tanner stage of pubertal development, respectively. Alcohol-related problems in early adulthood were assessed with the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT). During reward anticipation, decreased fMRI activation of the frontal cortex and increased preparatory EEG activity (contingent negative variation) occurred with pubertal compared to postpubertal first alcohol intake. Moreover, alcohol-related problems during early adulthood were increased in pubertal compared to postpubertal beginners, which was mediated by neuronal activation of the right medial frontal gyrus. At reward delivery, increased fMRI activation of the left caudate and higher feedback-related EEG negativity were detected in pubertal compared to postpubertal beginners. Together with animal findings, these results implicate PSFD as a potential modulator of psychopathology, involving altered reward anticipation.

Here, we tested for their association with ADHD diagnosis and ADHD-related phenotypes during development in a longitudinal German community sample. Children were followed from age 4 to age 15, using diagnostic interviews to assess ADHD. Between the ages of 8 and 15 years, the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) was administered to the primary caregivers. The continuous performance task (CPT) was performed at age 15. Controlling for possible confounders, we found that homozygous carriers of the major A allele of the functional promoter variant rs28386840 displayed a higher rate of ADHD lifetime diagnosis. Moreover, homozygous carriers of the minor T allele of rs3785157 were more likely to develop ADHD and showed higher scores on the CBCL externalizing behavior scales. Additionally, we found that individuals heterozygous for rs3785157 made fewer omission errors in the CPT than homozygotes.

Exposure to severe negative life events is related to both heavy drinking and disturbed circadian rhythmicity. The aim of this study was 1) to extend previous findings suggesting an association of a haplotype tagging single nucleotide polymorphism of PER2 gene with drinking patterns, and 2) to examine a possible role for an interaction of this gene with life stress in hazardous drinking. Methods: Data were collected as part of an epidemiological cohort study on the outcome of early risk factors followed since birth. At age 19 years, 268 young adults (126 males, 142 females) were genotyped for PER2 rs56013859 and were administered a 45-day alcohol timeline follow-back interview and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT). Life stress was assessed as the number of severe negative life events during the past four years reported in a questionnaire and validated by interview. Results: Individuals with the minor G allele of rs56013859 were found to be less engaged in alcohol use, drinking at only 72\% of the days compared to homozygotes for the major A allele. Moreover, among regular drinkers, a gene x environment interaction emerged (p = .020). While no effects of genotype appeared under conditions of low stress, carriers of the G allele exhibited less hazardous drinking than those homozygous for the A allele when exposed to high stress. Conclusions: These findings may suggest a role of the circadian rhythm gene PER2 in both the drinking patterns of young adults and in moderating the impact of severe life stress on hazardous drinking in experienced alcohol users. However, in light of the likely burden of multiple tests, the nature of the measures used and the nominal evidence of interaction, replication is needed before drawing firm conclusions.}, language = {en} } @article{WeindrichJennenSteinmetzLauchtetal.1998, author = {Weindrich, D. and Jennen-Steinmetz, Christine and Laucht, Manfred and Esser, G{\"u}nter and Schmidt, Martin H.}, title = {At risk for language disorders? : correlates and course of language disorders in preschool children born at risk}, issn = {0803-5253}, year = {1998}, language = {en} } @article{LangeEsser2005, author = {Lange, Sabine and Esser, G{\"u}nter}, title = {Auditiv-sprachliche St{\"o}rung der Informationsverarbeitung bei Lese-Rechtschreib-St{\"o}rung.}, isbn = {3-89967-220-8}, year = {2005}, language = {de} } @article{HirschbergerEsser2005, author = {Hirschberger, E. and Esser, G{\"u}nter}, title = {Auditive selektive Aufmerksamkeit bei geriatrischen Patienten mit einem visuellen Neglect}, isbn = {3-89967-220-8}, year = {2005}, language = {de} } @article{PolowczykTrautmannVillalbaDinterJoergetal.2000, author = {Polowczyk, M. and Trautmann-Villalba, Patricia and Dinter-J{\"o}rg, Monika and Gerold, M. and Laucht, Manfred and Schmidt, Martin H. and Esser, G{\"u}nter}, title = {Auff{\"a}llige Mutter-Kind-Interaktion im Vorschulalter bei Kindern mit hyperkinetischen und Sozialverhaltensauff{\"a}lligkeiten}, year = {2000}, language = {de} } @article{LangeEsser2008, author = {Lange, Sabine and Esser, G{\"u}nter}, title = {Ausbildung zum Kinder- und Jugendlichenpsychotherapeuten}, isbn = {978-3-13-126083-3}, year = {2008}, language = {de} } @article{WyschkonKohnBallaschketal.2008, author = {Wyschkon, Anne and Kohn, Juliane and Ballaschk, Katja and Esser, G{\"u}nter}, title = {Basisdiagnostik Umschriebener Entwicklungsst{\"o}rungen im Grundschulalter (BUEGA)}, issn = {1864-6050}, year = {2008}, language = {de} } @book{EsserWyschkon2002, author = {Esser, G{\"u}nter and Wyschkon, Anne}, title = {Basisdiagnostik umschriebener Entwicklungsst{\"o}rungen im Vorschulalter : (BUEVA)}, publisher = {Beltz}, address = {G{\"o}ttingen}, pages = {84 S.}, year = {2002}, abstract = {Ziel der Vorschultestbatterie ist es, Teilleistungsst{\"o}rungen bereits vor Schulbeginn zu erkennen und damit einer fr{\"u}hzeitigen F{\"o}rderung zuzuf{\"u}hren.

Participants were taken from an epidemiological cohort study following the long-term outcome of early risk factors from birth into young adulthood. In 259 individuals (119 males, 140 females), genotyped for the BDNF Val(66)Met and the 5-HTTLPR polymorphisms, plasma BDNF was assessed at the age of 19 years.

Results indicated that individuals homozygous for both the BDNF Val and the 5-HTTLPR L allele showed significantly reduced BDNF levels following exposure to high adversity.

Moreover, the current study examined whether a potential G x E would be consistent with one of two models of geneenvironment interplay (genetic vulnerability vs. differential susceptibility). Methods: Data were collected as part of an ongoing epidemiological cohort study following the outcome of early risk factors from birth into adulthood. Two hundred and eighty-five participants (130 males, 155 females) were genotyped for the COMT Val(158) Met polymorphism and were administered an alcohol interview, providing measures of current frequency and amount of drinking at ages 15 and 19 years. Information on three dimensions of perceived parenting behavior was obtained from the 15-year-olds. Results: Adolescents homozygous for the Met allele showed higher drinking activity at age 19 years when their parents had engaged in less supervision or were less involved, while their drinking activity was reduced under conditions of favorable parenting. No such relationship was found in individuals carrying the Val allele. Conclusions: The present findings correspond with the pattern of results predicted by the differential susceptibility hypothesis, suggesting that environmental variation would have a greater impact in individuals carrying a genetic susceptibility such that, in this group, exposure to negative environmental conditions would result in more adverse outcomes and the experience of favorable conditions would lead to more positive outcomes.}, language = {en} } @article{KraheBondueHoeseetal.2015, author = {Krah{\´e}, Barbara and Bond{\"u}, Rebecca and H{\"o}se, Anna and Esser, G{\"u}nter}, title = {Child Aggression as a Source and a Consequence of Parenting Stress: A Three-Wave Longitudinal Study}, series = {Journal of research on adolescence : the official journal of the Society for Research on Adolescence}, volume = {25}, journal = {Journal of research on adolescence : the official journal of the Society for Research on Adolescence}, number = {2}, publisher = {Wiley-Blackwell}, address = {Hoboken}, issn = {1050-8392}, doi = {10.1111/jora.12115}, pages = {328 -- 339}, year = {2015}, abstract = {This longitudinal study examined the links between child aggression and parenting stress over 4years.

Abstract. Objectives: Prospective impact of child and adolescent risk factors on externalizing and internalizing disorders. Methods: Prospective longitudinal study from childhood to early adulthood. 321 persons participated at age 8, 13, 18 and 25 years. Results: Sex differences in the prevalence rates of mental disorders were found. The highest differences were found in early adulthood. Females showed higher rates of internalizing disorders, whereas males showed higher rates of externalizing disorders. Externalizing disorders in adulthood could be predicted better than internalizing disorders. This result could be explained by the greater predictive power of childhood risk factors for externalizing disorders. Risk factors of adolescence and the transmission period to adulthood played a more prominent role in the prediction of internalizing disorders. 10\% of the studied sample showed persistent disorders and was identified as a high-risk sample. This developmental pattern of mental disorders shows stable risk constellations from childhood to adulthood.

Methods: Participants were 148 boys and 160 girls from a prospective longitudinal study on a high-risk sample. At ages 3 months and 2 years, temperament was assessed by a highly structured parent interview and standardized behavioral observations. Maternal parenting was assessed by videotaped behavioral observation and a parent questionnaire. Externalizing problems at age 8 years were measured by the Child Behavior Checklist. Results: Using hierarchical linear regression analyses, we found that externalizing problems were predicted by psychosocial adversity and poor self-control, whereas no main effect for restrictive parenting or maternal empathy was found. Fearful-inhibited boys were positively affected by empathic and sensitive parenting, whereas girls who were low in self-control and/or fearful developed less externalizing problems with restrictive parenting.

Methods: Data from 320 participants were collected as part of the Mannheim Study of Children at Risk, an ongoing epidemiological cohort study. Structured interviews at age 15 and 19 were used to assess age at first alcohol experience and drunkenness. The young adults completed questionnaires to obtain information about the occurrence of stressful life events during the past 4 years and current drinking habits. In addition, alcohol use under conditions of negative states was assessed with the Inventory of Drinking Situations. Results: The probability of young adults' alcohol use in situations characterized by unpleasant emotions was significantly increased the earlier they had initiated the use of alcohol, even when controlling for current drinking habits and stressful life events. Similar results were obtained for the age at first drunkenness. Conclusions: The findings strengthen the hypothesis that alcohol experiences during early adolescence facilitate drinking to regulate negative affect as an adverse coping strategy which may represent the starting point of a vicious circle comprising drinking to relieve stress and increased stress as a consequence of drinking.}, language = {en} } @article{JungKraheBondueetal.2016, author = {Jung, Janis Moritz and Krah{\´e}, Barbara and Bond{\"u}, Rebecca and Esser, G{\"u}nter and Wyschkon, Anne}, title = {Dynamic progression of antisocial behavior in childhood and adolescence}, series = {Applied Developmental Science}, volume = {22}, journal = {Applied Developmental Science}, number = {1}, publisher = {Routledge, Taylor \& Francis Group}, address = {Abingdon}, issn = {1088-8691}, doi = {10.1080/10888691.2016.1219228}, pages = {74 -- 88}, year = {2016}, abstract = {This longitudinal study from Germany examined the dynamic progression of antisocial behavior in childhood and adolescence based on the social interactional model by Patterson, DeBaryshe, and Ramsey.

With high familial risk, higher maternal stimulation was related to increasing activation in the caudate head, the supplementary motor area, the cingulum and the middle frontal gyrus during reward anticipation, with the opposite pattern found in individuals with no familial risk. In contrast, higher maternal stimulation was associated with decreasing caudate head activity during reward delivery and reduced levels of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in the high-risk group.
