For this week's "Transition Tuesday", we are introducing one of our lovely research assistants, @katiecr.bsky.social 👋

🎉For this weeks 'Transition Tuesday' we are giving a huge well done to our post-doc & study coordinator @aislinnbowler.bsky.social for her SGDP talk on integrating PPI into ART-transition. This talk drew on our ART-pilot study, focus groups, and ongoing PPI panel. Great to see the impact PPI has!

The ART team really enjoyed the "Hidden in Plain Sight" conference on #ADHD in girls and women at the University of Nottingham yesterday! So many interesting and important insights from clinicians, researchers and women with lived experience.

🚨NEW PAPER from my group: Scoping review of potential harm from group-based CBT and mindfulness interventions in schools Our research question was essentially this: How often do school mental health interventions make things worse? acamh.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... (thread)

Are you a 16-17-year-old with ADHD in the UK, or do you work with young people this age? We are recruiting for ART-transition, a project aiming to improve our understanding of the transition to adulthood in young people with #ADHD. If this interests you, get in contact at [email protected].

Our bimonthly ADHD Research Group & Journal Club featured an engaging science presentation by PhD student Heet Sankesara on his recent paper and a thought-provoking journal club led by Research Assistant @katiecr.bsky.social. Great work guys! 🎉

🗺️The #AtlasLongitudinalDatasets provides info on datasets from 186 countries across 6 continents! 25% of the datasets include participants from at least one #LMIC. Altogether, datasets on the Atlas represent over a billion participants! Check it out here: atlaslongitudinaldatasets.ac.uk

Excited to share the findings from Master's! Huge thanks to Lucy for her support and to my participants for their insight. Amongst all the discussions happening on self-diagnosis it was great to find this nuance and empathy from the clinicians we spoke to. Lucy summarizes the work very well below.

Great talks at from our Research Assistants at the SGDP Centre Research Assistant Special Seminar. Well done guys 😄 @hannahkmarriott.bsky.social @phoeberocks.bsky.social @annaredly.bsky.social @katiecr.bsky.social

The ART-transition team enjoyed taking part in the SGDP I #dopaminedressing today! @kingsioppn.bsky.social @annaredly.bsky.social @katiecr.bsky.social

Are you a 16-17-year-old with ADHD in the UK, or do you work with young people this age? We are recruiting for ART-transition, a project focused on predicting and preventing negative outcomes. Interested? Check out the poster and contact [email protected] for more info.

We're thrilled to announce the successful completion of recruitment for the ART-CARMA study! By the end of 2024, we enrolled 154 participants at King’s College London and 151 at Vall d'Hebron, surpassing our 300-participant target. A huge thank you to our collaborators and ADHD clinics!

It was a pleasure to contribute to @thementalelf.bsky.social. In my piece, I discuss findings from a recent study by Spiller et al. (JAMA Psychiatry) on the heterogeneity of symptom presentation in mental disorder diagnoses.

For anyone working in adolescent mental health: I *really* recommend reading this important paper about the most commonly used questionnaires (inc SDQ) In short: most of them have poor psychometric properties, so do we even know what they are measuring? www.thelancet.com/journals/lan... (cont)

We’re about to start recruitment for ART-transition! This study explores the transition period for adolescents with ADHD using remote technology, focusing on life events, service transitions, and co-occurring challenges linked to ADHD. Learn more: www.kcl.ac.uk/research/art...

Been mostly posting about bike lanes these days but since this is a new platform w/ new followers I’ll shamelessly plug my recent publication! I wrote about the ADHD TikTok phenomenon, spoke with some influencers, and tried to connect it to PhilSci. Check it out :) muse.jhu.edu/article/930492

Hello Bluesky! 👋 We’re the ADHD Remote Technology (ART) group at @IOPPN, King’s College London. Led by Profs Jonna Kuntsi & Richard Dobson, we study ADHD and related traits using wearables and smartphones. Explore more: www.kcl.ac.uk/research/adh.... Follow us for updates on ADHD research!

New research from the IFS showing the closure of youth centres during the 2010s was shortsighted. For every £1 saved, the costs to affected users, crime victims and public spending in the police and the criminal justice system amount to £2.85 ifs.org.uk/publications...
