Maternal expressions of warmth and negativity and adolescent mental health
BACKGROUND: Emotions that mothers express about their offspring are associated with offspring mental health during childhood, but little research has explored whether this extends into adolescence. We investigated associations between maternal warmth and negativity towards twin offspring at age 10, and subsequent mental health outcomes in early and late adolescence. METHODS: The Environmental Risk (E-Risk) Longitudinal Twin Study is a population-…

Association between depression diagnosis and educational attainment trajectories
BACKGROUND: Depression symptoms are thought to be associated with lower educational attainment, but patterns of change in attainment among those who receive a clinical diagnosis of depression at any point during childhood and adolescence remain unclear. METHODS: We conducted a secondary analysis of an existing data linkage between a national educational dataset (National Pupil Database) and pseudonymised electronic health records (Clinical Record…
Indicators of recent Covid-19 infection status
Our results support the use of proxy indicators of past COVID-19, with the caveat that none is perfect. Differences from previous antibody studies, most significantly in lower proportions of participants positive for antibodies, may be partly due to a decline in antibody detection over time. Subsequent to our study, vaccination may have further complicated the interpretation of COVID-indicators, only strengthening the need to critically evaluate …
Changes in Physical Activity among United Kingdom University Students Following the Implementation of Coronavirus Lockdown Measures
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and resulting restrictions have significantly impacted physical activity levels. However, objectively measured changes in physical activity levels among UK university students during lockdown are understudied. Using data collected via remote measurement technology from a mobile physical activity tracker, this study aimed to describe the longitudinal trajectories of physical activity following the start of lockdown a…
The association between paternal psychopathology and adolescent depression and anxiety
The Mental Health Act Assessment Process and Risk Factors for Compulsory Admission to Psychiatric Hospital
Background Compulsory admission rates under the Mental Health Act (MHA) have been on the rise for many years despite representing a costly and coercive approach to psychiatric care. There is therefore an urgent need to minimise compulsory admission rates using interventions based on known risk factors for detention. However, risk factors in the MHA assessment process have been under-researched. Methods A mixed methods service evaluation was condu…
