T1 - Using AI for mental health analysis and prediction in school surveys JF - European journal of public health N2 - Background: Childhood and adolescence are critical stages of life for mental health and well-being. 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.

JF - Child & family social work N2 - Children's participation in legal proceedings affecting them personally has been gaining importance. So far, a primary research concern has been how children experience their participation in court proceedings. However, little is known about the child's voice itself: Are children able to clearly express their wishes, and if so, what do they say in child protection cases? In this study, we extracted information about children's statements from court file data of 220 child protection cases in Germany. We found 182 children were asked about their wishes. The majority of the statements found came either from reports of the guardians ad litem or from judicial records of the child hearings. Using content analysis, three main aspects of the statements were extracted: wishes concerning main place of residence, wishes about whom to have or not contact with, and children granting decision-making authority to someone else. Children's main focus was on their parents, but others (e.g., relatives and foster care providers) were also mentioned. Intercoder agreement was substantial. Making sure that child hearings are as informative as possible is in the child's best interest. Therefore, the categories developed herein might help professionals to ask questions more precisely relevant to the child.

However, the physiological effects produced by each training modality could also interfere with each other, improving athletic performance less than single-mode training. Because anthropometric, physiological, and biomechanical differences between young and adult athletes can affect the responses to exercise training, young athletes might respond differently to concurrent training (CT) compared with adults. Thus, the aim of the present systematic review with meta-analysis was to determine the effects of concurrent strength and endurance training on selected physical fitness components and athletic performance in youth. A systematic literature search of PubMed and Web of Science identified 886 records. The studies included in the analyses examined children (girls age 6-11 years, boys age 6-13 years) or adolescents (girls age 12-18 years, boys age 14-18 years), compared CT with single-mode endurance (ET) or strength training (ST), and reported at least one strength/power-(e.g., jump height), endurance-(e.g., peak. VO2, exercise economy), or performance-related (e.g., time trial) outcome. We calculated weighted standardized mean differences (SMDs). CT compared to ET produced small effects in favor of CT on athletic performance (n = 11 studies, SMD = 0.41, p = 0.04) and trivial effects on cardiorespiratory endurance (n = 4 studies, SMD = 0.04, p = 0.86) and exercise economy (n = 5 studies, SMD = 0.16, p = 0.49) in young athletes. A sub-analysis of chronological age revealed a trend toward larger effects of CT vs. ET on athletic performance in adolescents (SMD = 0.52) compared with children (SMD = 0.17). CT compared with ST had small effects in favor of CT on muscle power (n = 4 studies, SMD = 0.23, p = 0.04). In conclusion, CT is more effective than single-mode ET or ST in improving selected measures of physical fitness and athletic performance in youth. Specifically, CT compared with ET improved athletic performance in children and particularly adolescents. Finally, CT was more effective than ST in improving muscle power in youth.

Two hundred thirty-two participants (8-16years, 53.9% girls) were randomly assigned either to multisession approach-avoidance (IG) or to placebo training (CG). As outcomes, cognitive biases post intervention, body mass index, eating behaviour, food intake, self-regulation, and weight-related quality of life were assessed, also at 6- and 12-month follow-up. Modification of approach-avoidance bias was observed, but lacked in transfer over sessions and in generalization to attention and association bias. After 6months, the IG reported less problematic food consumption, higher self-regulation, and higher quality of life; effects did not persist until the 12-month follow-up; no significant interaction effects were observed regarding weight course. Despite there was no direct effect on weight course, approach-avoidance training seems to be associated with promising effects on important pillars for weight loss. Further research concerning clinical effectiveness is warranted.

The project investigates the language abilities of multilingual children and adolescents, in particular, those who have Turkish and/or Kurdish as a mother tongue. A further aim of the project is to examine from a psycholinguistic and sociolinguistic perspective the extent to which competence in academic registers is achieved on the basis of the languages spoken by the children, including the language(s) spoken at the home, the language of the country of residence and the first foreign language. To be able to examine these questions using corpus linguistic parameters, we created categories of analysis in MULTILIT. The data collection comprises texts from bilingual and monolingual children and adolescents in Germany in their first language Turkish, their second language German und their foreign language English. Pupils aged between nine and twenty years of age produced monologue oral and written texts in the two genres of narrative and discursive. On the basis of these samples, we examine linguistic features such as lexical expression (lexical density, lexical diversity), syntactic complexity (syntactic and discursive packaging) as well as phonology in the oral texts and orthography in the written texts, with the aim of investigating the pupils’ growing mastery of these features in academic and informal registers. To this end the raw data have been transcribed by the use of transcription conventions developed especially for the needs of the MULTILIT data. They are based on the commonly used HIAT and GAT transcription conventions and supplemented with conventions that provide additional information such as features at the graphic level. The categories of analysis comprise a large number of linguistic categories such as word classes, syntax, noun phrase complexity, complex verbal morphology, direct speech and text structures. We also annotate errors and norm deviations at a wide range of levels (orthographic, morphological, lexical, syntactic and textual). In view of the different language systems, these criteria are considered separately for all languages investigated in the project. N2 - Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt eine Übersicht der linguistischen Analysen dar, die im Rahmen des MULTILIT Projektes entwickelt wurden. Darüber hinaus wird die Aufbereitung der erhobenen mündlichen und schriftlichen Texte vorgestellt. Das Projekt betrachtet die sprachlichen Fähigkeiten multilingualer Kinder und Jugendlicher, insbesondere mit der Muttersprache Türkisch und/oder Kurdisch. Ein weiteres Ziel des Projektes ist die Untersuchung der Entwicklung eines akademischen Registers der Sprachen der Kinder, d.h. der zu Hause gesprochenen Sprache(n), der Sprache des Aufenthaltslandes und der ersten Fremdsprache unter psycholinguistischen und soziolinguistischen Gesichtspunkten. Zur Untersuchung dieser Forschungsfragen unter korpuslinguistischen Parametern wurden in MULTILIT Analysekriterien entwickelt. Die Datenerhebung umfasst Texte bilingualer und monolingualer Kinder und Jugendlicher in ihrer Erstsprache Türkisch, ihrer Zweitsprache Deutsch sowie ihrer ersten Fremdsprache Englisch. Schüler im Alter von 9 bis 20 Jahren haben sowohl mündliche als auch schriftliche monologische Texte in zwei Genres produziert – erzählend und erörternd. Basierend auf diese Daten untersuchen wir linguistische Bereiche wie lexikalischer Ausdruck (lexikalische Dichte, lexikalische Vielfalt), syntaktische Komplexität (syntaktische und diskursive Verdichtung) sowie Phonologie in den mündlichen Texten und Orthographie in den schriftlichen Texten mit dem Ziel, die wachsende Beherrschung dieser Bereiche in akademischen und informellen Registern durch die Schüler zu untersuchen. Dafür wurden die Rohdaten mit Transkriptionskonventionen verarbeitet, die speziell auf die Bedürfnisse des MULTILIT Projektes zugeschnitten sind. Sie basieren auf den weit verbreiteten Transkriptionskonventionen HIAT und GAT und wurden durch Konventionen erweitert, die zusätzliche Informationen, beispielsweise auf graphischer Ebene, festhalten. Die Analysekategorien umfassen zahlreiche linguistische Kategorien, wie Wortarten, Syntax, Nominalphrasenkomplexität, komplexe Verbalmorphologie, direkte Rede und Textstrukturen. Außerdem annotieren wir Fehler und Normabweichungen auf allen zahlreichen Ebenen (orthographisch, morphologisch, lexikalisch, syntaktisch und textuell). Aufgrund der verschiedenen Sprachsysteme werden diese Analysekategorien für alle im Projekt untersuchten Sprachen gesondert betrachtet.
