Reporting on a Partnership to Co‐Design a Digital Health Intervention With Young People Who Have Experienced Technology‐Assisted Sexual Abuse
INTRODUCTION: While Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) is a key element of research best practice across healthcare, the co-design process for digital health interventions (DHIs) remains under-reported. This study explores the co-design process of the i-Minds DHI, developed for young people exposed to technology-assisted sexual abuse (TASA), with a focus on advancing PPIE in DHI development. The research team collaborated with a…
Working mechanisms of the use and acceptability of ecological momentary interventions
The current paper reports on a realist evaluation within the SELFIE trial (Netherlands Trial Register NL7129 (NTR7475))
The experiences of practitioners working with young people exposed to online sexual abuse
Novel findings from this study were the psychological impacts that such cases had on practitioners, which may indicate a need for organizational support for staff as well as further training needs. Existing frameworks that help conceptualize and assess the role of technology as part of the ecology of the child may have great utility for practitioners
Facilitators and Barriers to the Implementation of a School-Based Intervention for Anxiety
School-based cognitive behavioural interventions for anxiety are found to be effective, but there is a lack of research on their implementation in real world settings. The current study aims to explore the facilitators and barriers to the implementation of a school-based intervention for anxiety through a qualitative process evaluation. Evaluation of the implementation of Let's Introduce Anxiety Management (LIAM), a six-session school-based cogni…
MR-Spectroscopy of Gaba and Glutamate/Glutamine Concentrations in Auditory Cortex in Clinical High-Risk for Psychosis Individuals
Psychosis involves changes in GABAergic and glutamatergic neurotransmission in auditory cortex that could be important for understanding sensory deficits and symptoms of psychosis. However, it is currently unclear whether such deficits are present in participants at clinical high-risk for psychosis (CHR-P) and whether they are associated with clinical outcomes. Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MEGAPRESS, 1H-MRS at 3 Tesla) was used to estimate GA…

Altered Autonomic Function in Individuals at Clinical High Risk for Psychosis
Introduction: Alterations in autonomic functioning in individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia are well-documented. Yet, it is currently unclear whether these dysfunctions extend into the clinical high-risk state. Thus, we investigated resting heart rate (RHR) and heart rate variability (HRV) indices in individuals at clinical high-risk for psychosis (CHR-P). Methods: We recruited 117 CHR-P participants, 38 participants with affective disorders a…
The relationship between adverse childhood experiences and educational disadvantage
In the last 25 years, converging evidence has supported the view that adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have long term negative impacts on physical and mental health. More recently, ACEs have been negatively associated with a range of educational measures. As educational attainment is a determining factor in later socioeconomic position, the education system is likely to play a significant role in responding to ACEs. A critical and reflective …

Vividness of positive mental imagery predicts positive emotional response to visually presented Project Soothe pictures
Lang's bioinformational theory of mental imagery proposes that mental imagery and external stimuli engage emotional information‐processing systems in similar ways. However, the positive and negative systems are thought to be distinct, so this similarity is likely to show a valence‐specific effect. Therefore, we hypothesized that an individual's ability to construct vivid positive, but not negative, mental imagery would predict positive emotional …
The effects of improving sleep on mental health (Oasis)
BACKGROUND: Sleep difficulties might be a contributory causal factor in the occurrence of mental health problems. If this is true, improving sleep should benefit psychological health. We aimed to determine whether treating insomnia leads to a reduction in paranoia and hallucinations. METHODS: We did this single-blind, randomised controlled trial (OASIS) at 26 UK universities. University students with insomnia were randomly assigned (1:1) with sim…
A Web‐based Survey of Mother–infant Bond, Attachment Experiences, and Metacognition in Posttraumatic Stress Following Childbirth
Originally published in May/June 2016 issue of Infant Mental Health Journal, Vol. 37, No. 3, pp. 259–273. An error occurred on page 264: Maximum likelihood estimation was applied. A two-step approach was utilized: (4) initial confirmatory factor analysis to establish the full structural model. The correct reference should read: Maximum likelihood estimation was applied. A two-step approach was utilized (Anderson & Gerbing, 1988): initial confirma…
A Web-Based Survey of Mother-Infant Bond, Attachment Experiences, and Metacognition in Posttraumatic Stress Following Childbirth
Objective: Postnatal depression is linked to adverse outcomes for parent and child, with metacognition and parenting experiences key variables in the development and maintenance of depression. The attachment between mother and infant is especially vulnerable to the effects of untreated postnatal depression. Despite high levels of reported postnatal stress symptoms, less attention has been given the relationship between attachment, metacognition, …
