  • Research Reviews

    Open AccessAnthony Pickles, Danielle Edwards et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2023

    BACKROUND: The evidence base for interventions for child mental health and neurodevelopment is weak and the current capacity for rigorous evaluation limited. We describe some of the challenges that make this field particularly difficult and expensive for evaluation studies. METHODS: We describe and review the use of novel study designs and analysis methodology for their potential to improve this situation. RESULTS: While several novel designs app…

  • The voice characterisation checklist

    Open AccessClementine Edwards, Oliver Owrid et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2023

    The VoCC is a reliable and internally consistent tool for assessing voice characterisation and will be used to test whether voice characterisation moderates treatment outcome to AVATAR therapy. There is potential wider utility within clinical trials of other relational therapies as well as routine clinical practice

  • The impact of Patient and Public Involvement in the SlowMo study

    Open AccessKathryn Greenwood, Sam Robertson et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2022

    BACKGROUND: The SlowMo study demonstrated the effects of SlowMo, an eight-session digitally supported reasoning intervention, on paranoia in a large-scale randomized-controlled trial with 362 participants with schizophrenia-spectrum psychosis. AIM: The current evaluation aimed to investigate the impact of Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) in the SlowMo study. METHOD: PPI members were six women and three men from Sussex, Oxford and London with …

  • A Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial of a Parenting Intervention Offered to Women With Severe Mental Health Problems and Delivered in a Mother and Baby Unit Setting

    Open AccessAnja Wittkowski, Richard Emsley et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2022

    This is the first trial of a parenting intervention in a MBU setting. BTP is feasible and acceptable to mothers with SMI, with a promising signal for treatment efficacy. Although minor modifications may be required for the collection of observer-rated measures post-MBU discharge, the findings indicate that a larger, definitive trial could be conducted, especially if the setting is extended to include perinatal mental health community settings

  • The older prisoner health and social care assessment and plan (OHSCAP) versus treatment as usual

  • Peaks in substance use prior to treatment presentation – a re-evaluation

    Andrew Jones, Richard Emsley et al.ARTICLEAddiction Research & Theory2019

    Background: Presentation to substance misuse treatment is believed to coincide with extremes of behaviour or function, leading some to suggest that such extreme behaviours can improve over time, in the absence of appropriate, evidence-based treatment. In challenging times for services, it is essential that available evidence on this potential explanation of the treatment effect is summarised and disseminated to policy makers. We combined an analy…

  • The effects of improving sleep on mental health (Oasis)

    Open AccessDaniel Freeman, Bryony Sheaves et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet Psychiatry2017

    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…

  • Is treatment “intensity” associated with healthier lifestyle choices? An application of the dose response function

    Open AccessEleonora Fichera, Richard Emsley et al.ARTICLEEconomics & Human Biology2016

    Healthy lifestyle choices and doctor consultations can be substitutes or complements in the health production function. In this paper we consider the relation between the number of doctor consultations and the frequency of patient physical activity. We use a novel application of the Dose-Response Function model proposed by Hirano and Imbens (2004) to deal with treatment endogeneity under the no unmeasured confounding assumption. Our application t…
