Discussion points include:
- The bidirectional association between sleep duration and sleep quality and depressive symptoms in adolescence.
- The reason behind using the Millennium Cohort Study (MCS), a large, population-based longitudinal birth cohort, in the study.
- The cross-sectional association between chronotype and depressive symptoms and the differences between the sexes.
- Can a ‘sleep catch-up mechanism’ mitigate risk for depression and are adolescence that are in tune with their circadian rhythms at less risk of depression?
- The implications for policymakers and child and adolescent mental health professionals.
- Gender differences and eveningness.
In this series, we speak to authors of papers published in one of ACAMH’s three journals. These are The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry (JCPP); The Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CAMH) journal; and JCPP Advances.
