Longitudinal Prediction of Mental Health and Life Quality of Young Adults and Long-term Efficacy of a Universal Prevention Program

为了预防和治疗年轻人的心理和行为问题，重要的是要确定与这些问题的发展和稳定性相关的因素。尽管有很好的可用性数据的患病率的精神障碍及其相关的年轻人，只有少数研究分析的影响和相互作用的风险因素和资源纵向。在计划中的研究中，我们将从大约360名父母及其子女那里收集数据，这些人从幼儿园开始就被反复评估。在2012 / 2013年的最后一次评估中，这些儿童处于青春期，但此时他们已经成年（约21-24岁）。因此，计划中的项目提供了一个纵向调查的机会，以预测生活满意度以及精神障碍，内化和外化行为问题以及年轻人的成瘾行为。我们将进一步调查大约18年前进行的预防性父母培训计划（Triple P）的长期效果。此外，在计划中的项目中，我们还将关注父母目前的心理健康状况。年轻人及其父母的心理问题的流行率和发展将与德国代表性研究的最新结果进行比较。

For the prevention and treatment of psychological and behavior problems in young adults it is important to identify factors that are associated with the development and stability of these problems. Despite a good availability of data on the prevalence rates of mental disorders and their correlates in young adults, there are only few studies that analyzed the influence and the interaction of risk factors and resources longitudinally. Within the planned study we will collect data from about 360 parents and their children, who have been repeatedly assessed since kindergarten age. While the children were in adolescence at the last assessment in 2012 / 2013, they are already of full age (about 21-24 years) at this point in time. Accordingly, the planned project provides the opportunity of a longitudinal investigation to predict life satisfaction as well as mental disorders, internalizing and externalizing behavior problems as well as addictive behaviors in young adults. We will furthermore investigate the long-term efficacy of a preventive parent training program (Triple P) that had been conducted about 18 years ago. Besides, within the planned project, we will also focus on the current mental health of the parents. The prevalence rates and the development of psychological problems among young adults and their parents will be compared to the latest results of representative German studies.
