A new study backed by our BRC Data Science Theme found that CBD may worsen memory and psychotic symptoms when taken before THC in people with #schizophrenia who use cannabis. 🔗Read more on our website: tinyurl.com/4sjnrh2s @oxfordpsychiatry.bsky.social

🕰️ What is Temporal Drift? Data that clinical prediction models face when implemented can differ from the data they were trained on, even in the same setting. This can be due to changing patients, treatments or practices The result? The model’s predictions start to go wrong.

Why are so many people with psychosis missed before their first episode? We studied over 1,500 patients to find out whether those missed by early intervention services show different early signs. Here’s what we found. 🧵👇

Join our next Prediction Modelling presentation with Dr @domapoliver.bsky.social @kingsioppn.bsky.social on assessing bias in a transdiagnostic risk calculator for #psychosis. 🗓️Wednesday 28 May, 15:00 - 16:00, Online www.kcl.ac.uk/events/algor...

Giving a talk next week presenting some new work on algorithmic fairness. Online so come along if you can!

This #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek we asked researchers what one fact they wished more people knew about brain and mental health. #ThisIsMyCommunity #MHAWeek2025 #mentalhealth

#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek 2025 promotes mental well-being and reduces stigma. The theme "Community" emphasises support networks. Our Researchers share key facts about brain and mental health. The campaign educates, encourages open conversations, and fosters understanding and empathy.

Today postdoctoral researcher Dr Dominic Oliver, who works on the Data Science Theme at our BRC, highlights how new predictive tools can help prevent early signs and symptoms of psychosis escalating. Read a review of the programme of research: tinyurl.com/y4nj6ha6 @domapoliver.bsky.social
