Research
Research areas in the Reid Lab:
We have two main areas of research:
(1) Access and use of services for children and youth with mental health problems
(2) Pediatric sleep problems.
Within these two research areas, we have two cross-cutting themes: primary health care, and measure development.
1) ACCESSING AND SERVICE USE
About 1 in every 5 children, youth, and adults has a clinically significant psychosocial problem (i.e., problems in the areas of cognitive/academic, behavioural, emotional, psychological, or social functioning). However, over 80% of children with psychosocial problems do not receive treatment. Without treatment, about ½ of children continue to have problems years later.
a) Access to care.
This area of research focuses primarily on how families access and use mental health services for children or youth who have mental health problems. We have studied the process of how parents attempt to access mental health services for children (Shanley et al., 2008; Reid et al., 2011). In one study of families looking for mental health services for their children, we sought to a) identify where and why families were looking for help, and b) describe the treatment services parents were both offered and accepted.
Kyleigh Schraeder (M.Sc. 2012; Schraeder & Reid, 2015) conducted a study entitled “Why wait? The effects of waiting time on subsequent help-seeking among families looking for children’s mental health services”; using survival analysis, she examined how being placed on a waitlist at a children’s mental health agency alters the probability that families will contact another agency for help.
The role of family physicians in helping parents of children with psychosocial problems is also a focus in this line of studies (Reid et. al., 2011; Reid et al., 2021). Another project includes how individuals of all ages access care from family physicians (Reid et al., 2009, Freeman et al., 2013).
For her MSc thesis, Thipiga Sivayoganathan conducted analyses of the Canadian Community Health Survey. Two manuscripts, currently under review, examined trends in mental health service use and providers accessed among youth and emerging adults in Canada from 2011 to 2016, and changes in the variables that were associated with accessing care.
For her dissertation, Catalina Sarmiento conducted a series of studies on mental health walk-in clinics. We conducted a survey to understand how mental health walk-in clinics are being implemented in Ontario (Sarmiento & Reid, 2022). Two manuscripts currently under review used administrative data to examine accessing and re-accessing mental health walk-in clinics and the relationship between walk-in clinic use and other services.
We are currently examining the issue of equity in child and youth mental health services (CYMHS). This CIHR-funded project is in collaboration with my Co-PI, Bill Gardner (CHEO). First, we are conducting as systematic review that aims to determine how equity in CYMHS is conceptualized and measured (Gardner et al., 2021). This project will also examine the geographical distribution of CYMHS and the extent to which there may be inequity in (a) spatial accessibility to services and (b) use of services. We are working closely with Jason Gilliland (Geography, U Western Ontario) on this project.
b) Patterns of Services Use & Transition to Adult Care
The natural history of psychopathology indicates many children will re-experience mental health problems. However, very little is known about service use over extended periods of time. Much of our recent work has focused on exploring and predicting the patterns of service use for children receiving specialized mental health care. We have conducted two studies that have found the same five patterns of service use characterize service over 4-5 periods in CYMHS agencies in Ontario (Reid et al., 2019; Reid et al., 2021). As part of this work we developed a definition of an episode of care (Reid et al., 2010) and also examined predictors of re-accessing care (Sarmiento & Reid, 2020).
We then expanded our understanding of patterns of service use in children’s mental health by linking these data with health care data. This allowed us to examine mental-health related visits within the health care sector (i.e., family physician, pediatric, psychiatrist visits) before, during, and after children receive specialized mental-health care in a community-based children’s centre.
Some youth who experience ongoing or recurrent mental health problems may require care during their young adult years. We (Schraeder & Reid, 2017) reviewed the developmental psychopathology and treatment response/outcome literature to better understand what youth will require adult mental health care. Further, we conducted a qualitative study to understand the perspectives of parents and youth (Schraeder, Brown, & Reid, 2018), CYMH clinicians (Schraeder, Brown, & Reid, 2019) and primary care physicians (Schraeder, Brown, & Reid, 2018) on issues related to transition to adult MH services. We also examined the prevalence and predictors of those youth with ongoing or recurrent mental health problems who go on to have mental-health related visits within the health care sector as young adults (Schraeder et al., 2021).
2) PEDIATRIC SLEEP PROBLEMS
a) Parenting, Outcomes, and Predictors of Sleep Problems
Sleep problems have been related to psychopathology among children and youth. We examined the relation between sleep and psychopathology in a number of studies. We examined the contribution of sleep problems to psychopathology in relation to known correlates of psychopathology such as parenting, family stress, and temperament (Reid et al., 2009; Coulombe et al., 2010, Coulombe et al., 2011).
We have also examined factors related to the children’s sleep problems. Adam Newton completed a systematic review for his PhD comprehensives that identified risk and protective factors and processes for child sleep problems among preschool and early school-aged children (Newton et al., 2020). A recent publication looked at parenting practices, bedtime routines, and consistency in relation to pediatric sleep problems (Shetty et al. 2021).
Kathryn Turnbull (Ph.D., 2021) led a study that examined the effects of brief sleep restriction and sleep fragmentation (analogous to night waking) on attention and working memory among preschool-age children. This experimental study of healthy children without sleep problems helps us better understand if sleep directly influences preschool children’s cognitive abilities and may help inform the definition of a clinically significant sleep problems in this age group. As a background for her dissertation, we reviewed the literature on behavioral sleep problems and their potential impact on developing executive function in children (Turnbull et al. 2013).
Recently Katarina McKenzie (McKenzie et al. 2022) examined the influence of family- and neighborhood-factors, and their interaction, on children’s sleep problems using data from the 2014 Ontario Child Health Study.
b) Napping among Preschool-age children
Most children cease napping between 2- and 5-years-old. But we know little about what predicts when children cease napping or the outcomes associated with when children cease napping. For his dissertation, Adam Newton led a series of studies examining these issues. Two studies involved analyses of the Canadian National Longitudinal Study of Children and Youth. We then conducted a study using a stratified random sample of parents of children ages 1-5 from across Canada. Using these data, the psychometric properties of two new scales of parents’ nap beliefs were examined – The Parents’ Nap Beliefs Scale and the Reasons Children Nap Scale. Second, Latent Profile Analyses was used to classifying children into four distinct groups based on their nap behavior. We are planning to examine longitudinal data to examine how nap and sleep patterns in these four groups change as children age, and what predictors changes in nap and sleep patterns.
The relation between napping and child outcomes is complex. Napping tends to be related to better outcomes, but only for those who nap daily. Further, napping when in childcare tends to result in bedtime/ sleep onset problems and poorer quality nighttime sleep. Thus, napping during childcare may have a negative impact on children’s nocturnal sleep and family functioning. These data may have implications for childcare organizations. More than half of Canadian preschool-age children are in childcare. We are developing studies that will examine issues such as: (1) What does the provincial and territorial childcare legislation in Canada say about sleep? (2) What are the current practices related to napping in childcare settings? (3) What are the relationships between napping in childcare and children’s night-time sleep patterns?
c) Sleep Interventions
We developed and tested a program called: Parenting Matters: Helping parents with young children. The target population is parents of young children (age 2-5 years) seen by
family physicians who have concerns
about their children's sleeping and bedtime behaviours, or discipline. Treatment consists of brief self-help booklets and support from a telephone coach. A variety of issues and questions will be examined in this line of research including the effects of early intervention for children with mild levels of behaviour problems, identifying factors that predict who will benefit from brief parenting interventions, primary care models for psychology, and ways of collaborating with family physicians. In a series of randomized clinical trials, over 550 parents were enrolled (Reid et al., 2013).
With the support of a CIHR Sleep and Circadian Rhythms Team grant, entitled “Better Nights/Better Days: Improving Psychosocial Health Outcomes in Children with Behavioural Insomnia” we developed and evaluated web-based sleep interventions for children ages 1-10 years (Corkum et al, 2018). This research brings together an outstanding team of sleep researchers along with a number of important partners. For more information see the Better Nights, Better Days website. We have gone on to modify this intervention using a trans-diagnostic approach (Ali et al. 2018; Corkum et al., 2018) for use with parent of children with neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., ADHD).
Given the issues with lack of access to CYMH services we also felt it was important to understand how parents seek help for children with sleep problems. A recent paper looked at why parents do and do not parents seek help for pediatric sleep issues (Newton et al., 2021).
CROSS CUTTING THEMES
PRIMARY HEALTH CARE
The role of primary health care and in particular family physicians is part of our work in both access to care and pediatric sleep. In terms of pediatric sleep problems, the Parenting Matters program was specifically designed for parents seen by family physicians. A recent thesis by Adam Newton examined where parents of 1-10 years old would seek help when, or if, their child had a sleep problem. This project included seeking help in primary care.
Our work on access and use of services always includes the role of family physicians and primary health care. An earlier study (Reid et al., 2011) on help-seeking found, not surprisingly, that family physicians are the first professional that parents turn to when their child has a mental health problem. As noted above, we examined having access to a regular family physician for individuals of all ages (Reid et al., 2009). Studies on ongoing care needs for children and youth with mental health problems and the roll of family physicians (Schraeder et al., 2017). Our C3MH (Continuity of Care Scale for Children’s Mental Health) has modules that assess continuity between the children’s mental health and the medical/health sectors. Our current project on equity in children’s mental health services will examine access to mental health services of all kinds for children and youth, including care by psychologists and social workers in primary health care, and care provided by family physicians.
MEASUREMENT DEVELOPMENT
As part of our work in both access to care and in other pediatric research, we have developed a number of questionnaires. Below are listed projects within each of our two programs of research that have examined methodological issues or developed new measures.

INFORMATION FOR PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS
Graduate Students
Students applying for graduate school and wanting to join my lab should be interested in either of my two research programs: Pediatric Sleep or Access and Use of Health & Mental Services. Students should indicate which of the two research programs they are interested in their application. However, sometimes students accepted into to work with me do not decide until after they start the clinical program.
For 2023-24 Academic year: Please note that I will be accepting applications for new graduate students but only those who are interested in conducting research in the area of pediatric sleep for the 2023 -24 academic year. This is based on the new studies to be launched over the next couple of years.
Students may also be interested in the looking at the Centre for Studies in Family Medicine website that describes the work of the core researchers in the Department of Family Medicine. Students conducting research related to primary care may apply to TUTOR – PHC – our CIHR funding training program in primary care research.
Finally, the Children’s Health Research Institute has various opportunities for students including studentships and travel awards, and students are eligible to be Co-PIs on grants.Honors Students
We typically have at least one student per year completing his/her honors thesis research project in psychology under my supervision. Honors students should be interested in a research topic related to one of the above research programs. It is common for honors students to be co-supervised by a graduate student. Please note selection of honors students for the upcoming academic year is done in the winter of preceding year. Students should follow the psychology department process for applying for honors supervisors.
