Objective: To explore the association between telomere length (TL) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms in children at 6-12 years. Method: Data from 1,759 children belonging to the HELIX project cohorts and the Asturias, Gipuzkoa and Valencia cohorts of INMA project were included. TL was determined by blood sample using a…

Children born to parents with fewer years of education are more likely to have depression, anxiety, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), but it is unclear to what extent these associations are causal. We estimated the effect of parents' educational attainment on children's depressive, anxiety, and ADHD traits at age 8 years, in a…

Isunget, Martin A.; Conley, Dalton; Zachrisson, Henrik D.; Ystrøm, Eivind; Havdahl, Alexandra; Njølstad, Pål R.; Lyngstad, Torkild – National Bureau of Economic Research, 2021
Research into the intergenerational transmission of educational advantage has long been criticized for not paying sufficient attention to genetics. This study is based on the Norwegian Mother, Father and Child Cohort Study (MoBa) and administrative register data on 25000 genotyped Norwegian children and their parents. We assess and disentangle the…

Rysstad, Anne Langseth; Kildahl, Arvid Nikolai; Skavhaug, Jon Olav; Dønnum, Monica Stolen; Helverschou, Sissel Berge – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2022
Phelan-McDermid syndrome (PHMDS)/22q13.3 deletion syndrome is a rare genetic disorder associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), intellectual disability (ID), and bipolar disorder. While numerous cases have been reported describing successful pharmacological treatment of bipolar disorder in PHMDS, there is currently little guidance available…

Nag, Heidi; Naerland, Terje; Øverland, Klara – International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, 2023
Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS) is a rare genetic syndrome. Students with SMS have a neurobehavioural phenotype which has been characterised as challenging for both parents and teachers. Challenging behaviour often has a negative impact on the person's learning ability and is a hindrance in the learning environment. Challenging behaviour also impacts…

Nag, Heidi; Øverland, Klara; Naerland, Terje – International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, 2022
The aim of this study is to use Q methodology to explore how school staff experience the behaviours of children with Smith-Magenis Syndrome (SMS) in school and how they manage working with these children. Q methodology utilises by-person factor analysis to investigate subjectivity. Fourteen school staff of students with SMS in Norway participated…

Tavares, Hannah M. – Paedagogica Historica: International Journal of the History of Education, 2022
The focus on colonial power and domination tend to muffle the emotional complexities, ambiguous attachments, and cultural paradoxes of persons who become wards of colonial educational systems. Drawing on feminist thought, film philosophy, and postcolonial cultural theories, Hannah M. Tavares provides a reading of Amanda Kernell's film Sami Blood.…

Furberg, Anniken; Silseth, Kenneth – Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2022
Background: While much literature has argued for the value of carefully designed instructional units building on student resources, less work details how students' own invocation of experiences and ideas from their everyday lives plays out in naturalistic classroom dialogues. Employing a sociocultural and interactional approach, this article…

Borgen, Nicolai T.; Frønes, Ivar; Raaum, Oddbjørn – Child Development, 2021
Although attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is among the most heritable psychiatric childhood disorders, social and gene-environment interactions seemingly play an important role in the etiology of ADHD. Consistent with this, this study finds that School-Wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (SWPBIS) reduced the…

Children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often experience co-occurring emotional problems. ADHD with this comorbidity is associated with poorer outcomes than ADHD without comorbidity. Better understanding of the etiology of comorbidity could improve prevention of negative outcomes for children with ADHD. The sample consisted…

Nag, Heidi Elisabeth; Naerland, Terje – Journal of Intellectual Disabilities, 2021
Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS) is a genetic syndrome most often caused by a deletion on chromosome 17 or more rarely by a mutation in the retinoic acid-induced 1 gene. The aim of this study was to investigate the Developmental Behavior Checklist (DBC) profile of persons with SMS and the associations between behavioural and emotional problems, age,…

Nag, Heidi Elisabeth; Hoxmark, Lise Beate; Naerland, Terje – Journal of Intellectual Disabilities, 2019
The experience of having a rare disorder was summarised in a large study as 'falling outside the vast field of knowledge of the professionals'. Parents (31 mothers and 17 fathers) of 32 persons with Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS) participated in this study. A phenomenological approach was used to analyse the data into topics and themes. Four themes…

Helland, Siri Saugestad; Røysamb, Espen; Brandlistuen, Ragnhild Eek; Melby-Lervåg, Monica; Gustavson, Kristin – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2020
Studies have identified concurrent, longitudinal, and bidirectional associations between language difficulties and internalizing problems. This is commonly explained by social exclusion or withdrawal from peers, but underlying mechanisms are not well understood. This study uses sibling data to investigate if the comorbidity between language…

A child's environment is thought to be composed of different levels that interact with their individual genetic propensities. However, studies have not tested this theory comprehensively across multiple environmental levels. Here, we quantify the contributions of child, parent, school, neighbourhood, district, and municipality factors to…

Sex differences in typical development can provide context for understanding ASD. Baron-Cohen ("Trends Cogn Sci" 6(6):248-254, 2002) suggested ASD could be considered an extreme expression of normal male, compared to female, phenotypic profiles. In this paper, sex-specific M-CHAT scores from N = 53,728 18-month-old toddlers, including n…
