Käll, A., Shafran, R., Lindegaard, T., Bennett, S., Cooper, Z., Coughtrey, A., & Andersson, G., (2020), A common elements approach to the development of a modular cognitive behavioral theory for chronic loneliness. Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 88(3), 269-282. https://doi.org/10.1037/ccp0000454

Käll et al. (2020) focused on loneliness as a clinical phenomenon with significant mental health implications. The journal applies the cognitive-behavioral theory to develop an evidence-based treatment plan that would help children and adolescents overcome loneliness and the mental health challenges accompanying the problem. Käll et al.’s article relates to my current study because the cognitive-behavioral theory applied in that article can be applied to my research when studying memory and mental health among adolescents. My investigation will focus on identifying the most effective technique to use in diagnosing mental health challenges (including ADHD, anxiety, and depression) among adolescents in school. Käll et al.’s (2020) article also applies to my research because it touches slightly on selective memory recall and memory biases, which will be an important concept to investigate. Thus, the source’s application of the cognitive-behavioral theory makes it an ideal work to use in my forthcoming study on memory and mental health.

Käll et al. (2020) had statistical findings that relate directly to my forthcoming study. For instance, the source discusses data on cognitive and emotional awareness, psychoeducation, and stress management, which are factors I will consider in my research. Käll et al.’s article’s strength is in its integration of 11 articles in the systematic review, making the findings generalizable and applicable to my current study. I can expand on the article by integrating more studies on memory and its relationship to mental health, which would add more value to my forthcoming study. Although Käll et al.’s work uses the cognitive-behavioral theory and has statistics that rhyme with my study topic, it can still benefit from an expanded scope that covers memory and its link to mental health.

Cañas, E. & Estévez, E. (2021). Intervention programs for the problematic use of the internet and technological devices: A systematic review. Electronics, 10(23), 1-18. https://doi.org/10.3390/electronics10232923

Cañas and Estévez’s (2021) study investigates the problematic use of the internet and other connected devices and its mental health impacts among adolescents. The source applies the cognitive-behavioral theory to investigate mental and physical health issues arising from excessive use of digital technologies among adolescents. Findings from Cañas and Estévez directly relate to my study topic because they find that excessive technology use leads to mental and memory-related challenges, such as memory loss, fatigue, stress, and poor concentration. My study will focus exclusively on memory and mental health among adolescents. Cañas and Estévez’s (2021) work will help answer the question regarding the most effective strategy for diagnosing adolescent mental health issues.

Statistics in Cañas and Estévez’s (2021) apply to my research because they identify the application of the cognitive-behavioral model in identifying mental health issues arising from technology use. Specifically, data on memory loss, stress, and lack of concentration relate directly to memory and mental health, which is my focus area in the forthcoming study. Cañas and Estévez’s article exudes strength in its robust analysis and reliance on a renowned theoretical framework, confirming that the cognitive-behavioral model is ideal for investigating mental health issues. However, the study is limited in its investigation of specific mental health ailments, creating a gap that my research intends to fill. Specifically, my study will address memory and its link to mental health among adolescents. The application of the cognitive-behavioral theory in Cañas and Estévez’s article is a testament to the model’s suitability in studying memory and behavioral issues, which is the focus of my investigation.

Drechsler, R., Brem, S., Brandeis, D., Grünblatt, E., Berger, G., & Walitza, S. (2020). ADHD: current concepts and treatments in children and adolescents. Neuropediatrics, 51(5), 315–335. https://doi.org/10.1055/s-0040-1701658

Drechsler et al.’s (2020) work investigates intervention measures for children and adolescents with ADHD. This application article relates to my current study because the ADHD investigated is part of the issues the research will investigate. Drechsler et al.’s work exudes strength in applying the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder, 5th edition [DSM-5], and ICD-10/11 to define and classify mental health issues based on noted behavioral classifications. The DSM-5 and ICD-10/11 will be instrumental in my research because they will help me classify memory, mental health issues, ADHD, stress, anxiety, and depression among adolescents. Hence, Drechsler et al.’s article and its investigation on ADHD will help my research because the classification and clarification issued will help finetune my research topic.

Drechsler et al.’s (2020) publication employs multiple statistics to demonstrate the prevalence of ADHD among children and adolescents. The article also highlights data relating to ADHD symptoms, especially irritability, emotional dysregulation, frustration, anger, and outbursts (Drechsler et al., 2020). Such data will be used for comparison purposes with my current study. Drechsler et al.’s article’s strength is its quantitative approach and simplicity in data representation, which makes it easy to link it with my current investigation. I will use Drechsler et al.’s work to address my research questions on ADHD and mental health. Overall, the article’s focus on ADHD in adolescence makes the article valuable in my research and future investigations focusing on memory, mental health, and ADHD among adolescents.

Peterson, B., Trampush, J., Brown, M., Maglione, M., Bolshakova, M., Rozelle, M., Miles, J., Pakdaman, S., Yagyu, S., Motala, A., & Hempel, S. (2024). Tools for the diagnosis of ADHD in children and adolescents: A systematic review. Pediatrics, 153(4), 1-12. https://doi.org/10.1542/peds.2024-065854

Peterson et al. (2024) investigated the tools commonly used in ADHD diagnosis in children and adolescents. The tools investigated in that article relate to my research because I will apply these tools in screening ADHD among adolescents. The tools Peterson et al. identify include biospecimen, ECG, neuroimaging, clinical tools, and youth self-reporting tools, making the study strong in recognizing tools used in mental health assessment. I will use some of those tools in my study because they have been proven effective in ADHD diagnosis among adolescents. Thus, Peterson et al.’s work on ADHD focuses on screening tools I intend to apply in my investigation.

The statistical findings from each of the ADHD assessment tools in Peterson et al.’s article apply to my current study because they will help me select the tool with the highest sensitivity level. The strength of Peterson et al.’s article is that its approach to article synthesis emphasizes specificity, which is core to determining the usefulness of assessment tools in meeting ADHD diagnosis needs. The findings in that article have clinical implications and are applicable to my forthcoming study because I will use the tools to determine the prevalence of mental health issues and memory challenges among adolescents. I will expand the available research by reinforcing the usefulness of assessment tools in mental health diagnosis within the target population. Overall, the article’s success in synthesizing multiple mental health tools makes it possible to select the ones that will offer the best results with investigating memory and mental health issues among adolescents in the current and future study.
