The #AtlasLongitudinalDatasets has been upgraded! We've added two new data types to the Atlas: 🧠 Cognitive data and 💭 Psychological data! We've also launched a brand-new measures table, making it easier to explore: ✅ Cognitive measures ✅ Psychological measures ✅ Mental health measures

🎉Born in Bradford Age of Wonder (BiB AoW) is on the #CatalogueMHM! BiB AoW is a 7-year programme following a diverse group of nearly 5,000 young people aged 12–15 in Bradford to understand the factors shaping health and wellbeing from ages 12–21. @bibresearch.bsky.social @uniofbradford.bsky.social

The #CatalogueMHM has expanded to include socioeconomic measures! Socioeconomic circumstances are a key determinant of physical and mental health. This expansion aims to support interdisciplinary research to create a richer picture of how mental health conditions emerge and develop over time. 🧵1/3

Worrying rise in self-harm among Irish adolescents | King's College London

New research has found that while rates of poor mental health and suicide attempts among Irish adolescents have largely recovered from the peaks seen during the COVID-19 pandemic, repeated self-harm i...

Rates of most distress measures peaked during the COVID years (2020-21). The proportion of teens repetitively self-harming did not return to pre-COVID levels, unlike other measures of distress.

A group of young people with lived experience of mental health challenges helped to interpret these results and unpick some possible reasons for them

Two groups showed particularly high levels of psychological distress: (1) those identifying as transgender/gender-diverse & (2) those in Youthreach or Further Education and Training centres ("early school leavers")

Our new study on the prevalence of psychological distress among adolescents in Ireland is out. We looked at anonymous surveys from over 20,000 adolescents across Ireland and explored at how rates of poor mental health, repetitive self-harm and suicide attempt were changing. Read more below! ⤵️

💻 Does Cybervictimisation contribute to poor mental health in young people? In our new paper in the @lancetchildadol.bsky.social, led by Dr Frédéric Thériault-Couture, we found that 1 in 5 young people were cybervictimised during adolescence, and it contributed to anxiety. 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/S235...
