How does where we live – urban, rural, or in-between – relate to our mental health? 🌆🏞️ In this cross-national study, we investigate the links between urbanicity, anxiety and depressive disorders in 500,000 adults across the UK, Norway, and New Zealand 🧵 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Very excited to speak at the Network Science Conference in Maastricht this week about the utility of psychometric networks in the precision diagnostics field. Come to our session on Friday at 2pm & check out the program for the many great talks at the conference @netsciconf.bsky.social #NetSci2025

Our new paper in Depression and Anxiety contrast the impact of theory-driven transdiagnostic mechanisms on anxiety symptoms. With @sachaepskamp.bsky.social, @noraskjerdingstad.bsky.social, @renefreichel.bsky.social and Skyless colleagues. 🧵 1/3 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1155/...

We're excited to announce that the trial is now open to recruitment! Welcome to our very first site, Cambridge Community Services NHS Trust 👋 Over the next two years we will be aiming to recruit 650 families - have a read of our website to find out more: osiresearch.org.uk/star-cat 👈

After 3 years in the making, our Registered Report is out in @nathumbehav.nature.com! We analyse nationally representative UK data from 3,340 adolescents (aged 11–19) to examine how social media use differs between those with and without mental health conditions. 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Excited to give a talk at University of Cambridge's Psychiatry Department about precision diagnostics and profiles of depression, this Thursday at 12:30 BST. The talk is hybrid, so feel free to DM me for a link if you wish to attend.

For those who are interested ESM feedback, happy to announce that a new paper is out, in which we combine qualitative and quantitative feedback! Innovations include clock graphs, stacked graphs, and word clouds with sentences. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Jonathan Haidt has written about the potential harms of social media to girls, but what about boys (currently being widely discussed following the Netflix drama 'Adolescence')? This blog from 2023 discusses the tendency of boys to retreat and withdraw substack.com/@jonathanhai...

Excited to share our BMC Medicine article on Modifiable Risk Factors of Vaccine Hesitancy With 2 independent teams of authors blind to each others procedures, we combine gradient boosting machines & thematic analysis, & replicate results in 2 nations 🧵 bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Does smartphone use make people feel lonelier? Or does loneliness predict smartphone use? We combined experience sampling data with smartphone usage data to examine the bidirectional association between well-being and smartphone use over time. Published in @apajournals.bsky.social Emotion! 🧵 👇

On the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, I want to share an inspiring example: Anne Bülow, who defended her PhD cum laude on Jan 31st with her dissertation "Parenting Adolescents, One Day at a Time."

We talk a lot about why adolescent girls report more low mood and anxiety, and why this might be getting worse. But what do girls themselves think might explain this? As you might have guessed, we don’t really know. So, we asked them: doi.org/10.1186/s129... 1/8

So excited to see this in print! A manifesto paving the way for responsible generalisation and co-authorship practices in open science - with an incredible team of scholars! Very much inspired by the benchmark Munafò et al. manifesto for reproducible science www.nature.com/articles/s44...

It was a pleasure to give a talk about Global Crises and their impact on Mental Health and Behaviour at @magdalenoxford.bsky.social @universityofoxford.bsky.social yesterday. Really enjoyed the discussions and the clever questions that interdisciplinary environments stimulate.

This will be a great account to follow if you're interested in anything related to building a career involving mental health research ⬇️⬇️

Science misinterpreted again - this time by Australian govt to justify teen social media bans. Our work shows responses to social media vary individually. We never advocated for blanket bans. Happy to engage with MPs on evidence-based policy. Let's get this right! www.crikey.com.au/2024/11/20/t...
