Nordic Perspectives SessionChild and AdolescentCohort # Mental health in adolescent girls: community-based evidence on early risk and prevention Mental health in adolescent girls: population-based evidence for early risk and prevention Presenter: Emma Hóven Country: Sweden Session: 4020 - WOMEN’S MENTAL HEALTH ACROSS THE LIFE COURSE: FROM ADOLESCENCE TO MIDLIFE—POPULATION EVIDENCE AND PRECISION PREVENTION Date: Fri, 25.09.2026, 16:30 - 16:45 Room: Hall A7 Anxiety symptoms in young women are heterogeneous, and distinct profiles associated with modifiable factors such as sleep, physical activity, and economic vulnerability provide a basis for early identification and tailored interventions. The presentation argues that addressing the gender gap in mental health requires analytical frameworks that connect biological processes, gendered power relations, digital environments, structural inequalities, and lived experience; this approach is central to the work of Uppsala University's Centre for Women's Mental Health, WOMHER. Adolescence and young adulthood (AYA) are critical periods for the onset of mental health problems, and young women report disproportionately high levels of anxiety and depressive symptoms; however, the heterogeneity of early symptoms and their relationship with modifiable risk factors remain poorly understood. The talk presents initial findings from the UPIC programme, which includes an ongoing two-year community-based cohort study involving approximately 2,000 people aged 15–29 in Sweden. The study combines repeated self-reports of psychological distress and well-being with behavioural assessments, registry data, and real-time digital phenotyping based on smartphone-based ecological momentary assessment and passive sensor data. Initial findings indicate heterogeneity in anxiety symptoms and identify distinct profiles associated with modifiable factors such as sleep, physical activity, and economic vulnerability. Qualitative studies examine how young people interpret symptoms and respond to measures such as the GAD-7; the findings support early identification and tailored interventions within a life-course framework.
