Very excited to share our recent paper that combines multiple resources from UIC to examine adolescent substance use. The study is a partnership that included IJR, UICOM Peoria, AI.Health4All Center, & UIC Institute for Health Research & Policy. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

A study of more than 30,000 British adults diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, found that, on average, they were dying earlier than their counterparts in the general population — around seven years earlier for men, and around nine for women.

A team from the UIC Department of Psychiatry is participating in the annual #AFSP Chicago Out Of The Darkness #OOTD walk for suicide prevention. A group from @ijr-uic.bsky.social is participating. You can support our effort by making a small donation. #stopsuicide supporting.afsp.org/team/345193

Part of my @NIMHgov K training plan centers on the ethics of engaging systemically marginalized teens, w/digital tools, in healthcare settings—fortunate to start working through this tricky venn diagram by earning a Certificate in Bioethics & Health Policy at @loyolabioethics !

@ijr-uic.bsky.social was well represented at the AFSP’s Chicago Out of Darkness Walk. It was a beautiful day and a real sense of solidarity with so many families and supporters to prevent suicide. We were so part of the UIC Psychiatry’s Center for Depression Research team.
