The most critical issue in our field is to understand the causes of the disorders we study. What genetic and environmental risk factors result in some children developing autism, and others depression? I discussed the issue of causation in an earlier editorial (Lervåg, 2019) and anticipated that 'we will see many more studies in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry (JCPP) testing causal relationships'. My prediction is nicely borne out by studies in the current issue of the journal.
我们这个领域最关键的问题是要了解我们所研究的障碍的成因。是什么遗传和环境风险因素导致一些儿童患上自闭症，而另一些儿童患上抑郁症？我在之前的一篇社论中讨论了成因问题（Lervåg，2019），并预计“我们将在《儿童心理学与精神病学杂志》（JCPP）上看到更多测试因果关系的研究”。我对这本杂志目前这一期中研究的预测得到了很好的验证。
