  • Towards a new model of population mental health research and policy translation in the UK

    Open AccessTassia K Oswald, Joseph Barker et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Mental…2026

  • Commercial or industrial use of mental health data for research

    Open AccessLinda A Jones, Corrine Barber et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2026

    Background Routinely collected health data, such as that held by United Kingdom (UK) national health services (NHS), has important research uses. However, its use requires public trust and transparency. Access by commercial/industrial organisations is especially sensitive for the public, as is mental health (MH) data. Although existing MH data science guidelines emphasise patient/public involvement (PPI), they do not cover commercial uses specifi…

  • What affects the likelihood of children entering public care? The interaction of household low income, area-level deprivation and parental risk factors

    Open AccessNell Warner, Jonathan Scourfield et al.ARTICLEChildren and Youth Services Review2026Referencias: 45

    Adult risk factors partly explain the relationship between both area-level deprivation and low income and the likelihood of children entering public care. • While children from areas of high deprivation are more likely to enter public care, parental risk factors have the same effects on the odds of care in areas of high deprivation and areas of low deprivation. • Specific adult risk factors − depression, anxiety and self-harm − have a bigger impa…

  • How do Australian social media users experience self-harm and suicide-related content? A National cross-sectional survey comparing young people and adults

    Open AccessJo Robinson, Louise La Sala et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    Rates of self-harm and suicide appear to be increasing in young people and many attribute this to social media use. However, high quality studies examining young people’s experiences of self-harm and suicide-related content on social media, and the impact on wellbeing, are lacking. An online national cross-sectional survey was conducted between January and March 2024. Quota sampling was used. Participants from across Australia were recruited from…

  • What Linked Data Can Tell Us About the Increasing Numbers of Children Entering Public Care

    Open AccessNell Warner, Donald Forrester et al.ARTICLEChild & Family Social Work2025Referencias: 2

    The number of children in public care in Wales, UK, rose from the mid‐1990s to 2021. It is unclear if this change was related to increases in risk factors in parents, changes in the impact of risk factors, or changing policies and practices. Administrative data from children's social care were linked to administrative health care data to create three cohorts of households with children, covering 4‐year periods between 2008 and 2020. Households th…

  • The inter-relationship between parental problems and ethnic background

    Open AccessNell Warner, Yongchao Jing et al.ARTICLEThe British Journal of Social Work2025Referencias: 23

    Both parental problems and being from certain ethnic minoritized populations are associated with an increased likelihood of children entering local authority care. This study explored the intersection of these factors in the UK. Population-level administrative datasets were linked to create a dataset of school-aged children living in households in Wales, between 2016 and 2020 (n = 431,584). Multilevel logistic regression models were used to look …

  • The Lancet Psychiatry Commission on youth mental health

    Open AccessPatrick D Mcgorry, Cristina Mei et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet Psychiatry2024

  • Sex differences in attention‐deficit hyperactivity disorder diagnosis and clinical care

    Open AccessJoanna Martin, Kate Langley et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2024

    BACKGROUND: Population-based studies have observed sex biases in the diagnosis and treatment of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Females are less likely to be diagnosed or prescribed ADHD medication. This study uses national healthcare records, to investigate sex differences in diagnosis and clinical care in young people with ADHD, particularly regarding recognition and treatment of other mental health conditions. METHODS: The coh…

  • Navigating challenges and workarounds

    Open AccessAshrafunnesa Khanom, Bridie Evans et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2024

    BACKGROUND: Healthcare and support workers play a pivotal role in delivering quality services and support to people seeking sanctuary who have experienced poor physical and mental health linked to previous trauma, relocation and loss of freedoms. However, they often encounter various challenges in their daily work, ranging from communication barriers to resource constraints. This qualitative study seeks to delve into the perspectives of healthcar…

  • Machine learning in mental health and its relationship with epidemiological practice

  • Using a systems perspective to examine child protection systems and practice

    Open AccessFadi Baghdadi, Mary Elizabeth Rauktis et al.ARTICLEChildren and Youth Services Review2024

    The Maghreb (Algeria, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco (including Western Sahara), Tunisia) has high rates of child maltreatment and child abandonment, leading to high rates of child institutionalisation. This review aims to provide an estimate of the prevalence of children in institutions in the countries of the Maghreb and to compare and contrast the child protection systems in the region. Using a scoping review approach, we identified 45 relevant st…

  • Parental risk factors and children entering out-of-home care

    Open AccessNell Warner, Jonathan Scourfield et al.ARTICLEChildren and Youth Services Review2024Citada por: 2Referencias: 17

    Parental difficulties, including mental ill health, substance misuse, domestic violence and learning disability have been associated with children entering out-of-home care. There is also evidence that these issues may co-occur within families. Understanding how the co-occurrence of these difficulties is associated with care entry is complex because they may co-occur in the same or different household members and have different impacts on the lik…

  • Stakeholders’ views on addressing adverse childhood experiences in the Maghreb

  • Self‐harm, in‐person bullying and cyberbullying in secondary school‐aged children

    Open AccessAnn John, Sze Chim Lee et al.ARTICLEJournal of Adolescence2023

    INTRODUCTION: Although the evidence base on bullying victimization and self-harm in young people has been growing, most studies were cross-sectional, relied on self-reported non-validated measures of self-harm, and did not separate effects of in-person and cyberbullying. This study aimed to assess associations of self-harm following in-person bullying at school and cyberbullying victimization controlling for covariates. METHODS: School survey dat…

  • Childhood cognitive ability and self-harm and suicide in later life

    Open AccessMatthew H Iveson, Emily Ball et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2023

  • Patterns of engagement in a digital mental health service during Covid-19

    Open AccessAynsley Bernard, Santiago de Ossorno García et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2023

    Our study identified changes in user activity and engagement behavior within a digital mental healthcare service during the COVID-19 pandemic. These findings suggest that usage patterns within digital mental health services may be susceptible to change in response to external events such as a pandemic. Continuous monitoring of engagement patterns is important for informed design and personalized interventions

  • Inequalities and mental health during the Coronavirus pandemic in the UK

    Open AccessChiara Lombardo, Lijia Guo et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    The pandemic is taking a long-term toll on the nations' mental health which will continue to have impacts for years to come. It is therefore crucial to learn the vital lessons learned from this pandemic. Specific as well as whole-government policies need to respond to this, address inequalities and the different needs across the life-course and across society, and take a holistic approach to mental health improvement across the UK

  • The cost of implementing the Covid-19 shielding policy in Wales

    Open AccessBernadette Sewell, Angela Farr et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    This is the first evaluation of the cost of the measures put in place to support those identified to shield in Wales. However, no data on opportunity cost was available. The true costs of shielding including its budget impact and opportunity costs need to be investigated to decide whether shielding is a worthwhile policy for future health emergencies

  • Loss of life at sea from shipping British coal since 1890

    Open AccessTim Carter, John G Williams et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Maritime…2023

    There was continuing public and political concern about the loss of life at sea during the second half of the nineteenth century in Britain. New regulatory requirements, introduced to examine the competence of officers, prevent overloading and reduce the risks from hazardous cargoes such as coal, were in place by 1890. However, the effectiveness of these measures was not systematically monitored at the time. This retrospective evaluation reviews …

  • The mental health experiences of ethnic minorities in the UK during the Coronavirus pandemic

    Open AccessTine Van Bortel, Chiara Lombardo et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    Background Worldwide, the Coronavirus pandemic has had a major impact on people's health, lives, and livelihoods. However, this impact has not been felt equally across various population groups. People from ethnic minority backgrounds in the UK have been more adversely affected by the pandemic, especially in terms of their physical health. Their mental health, on the other hand, has received less attention. This study aimed to explore the mental …

  • “I don't mean to be rude, but could you put a mask on while I'm here?” A qualitative study of risks experienced by domiciliary care workers in Wales during the Covid‐19 pandemic

    Open AccessHayley Prout, Fiona Lugg-Widger et al.ARTICLEHealth & Social Care in the…2022

    Domiciliary care workers (DCWs) continued to provide care to adults in their own homes throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. The evidence of the impact of COVID-19 on health outcomes of DCWs is currently mixed. The OSCAR study will quantify the impact of COVID-19 upon health outcomes of DCWs in Wales, explore causes of variation and extrapolate to the rest of the UK DCW population. An embedded qualitative study aimed to explore DCW experiences during…

  • Suicide and self-harm in low- and middle- income countries during the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessDuleeka Knipe, Ann John et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    There is widespread concern over the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on suicide and self-harm globally, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) where the burden of these behaviours is greatest. We synthesised the evidence from the published literature on the impact of the pandemic on suicide and self-harm in LMIC. This review is nested within a living systematic review (PROSPERO ID CRD42020183326 ) that continuously iden…

  • Understanding suicide clusters through exploring self-harm

    Open AccessA Johns, Ann John et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2022Referencias: 35

    There was a highly publicised cluster of at least ten suicides in South Wales, United Kingdom, in 2007-2008. We carried out a qualitative descriptive study using cross-case thematic analysis to investigate the experiences and narratives of eight individuals who lived in the area where the cluster occurred and who survived an episode of near-fatal self-harm at the time of the cluster. Interviews were conducted from 01.01.2015 to 31.12.2015. All in…
