The @APEAL_Lab is recruiting for a post-doc focused on supportive factors for mental health of transgender and gender diverse youth: https://t.co/BGirIE1uZt. Please share widely!

[Ian Colman @APEAL_Lab]

Sobering new @APEAL_Lab research shows that we need better supports for transgender and gender diverse people.

[JAMA Network Open @JAMANetworkOpen]

A nationally representative study from Canada found that transgender and gender diverse people are at a higher risk of past year and lifetime mental health disorders, substance use disorder, and suicidal behavior, compared to the cisgender population. https://t.co/9n8GDMutSx

[Jordan Edwards (he/him) @Edwards_Jordan1]

Important work from Heidi Eccles (@APEAL_Lab ) who used population-based data to identify higher prevalence of mental disorders and suicidal behavior in transgender and gender-diverse people compared with the cisgender population.

Before our opening plenary, @WesselyS pays tribute to Sir David Goldberg, 1934-2024, who passed away last week.

He changed the field, providing better understanding of pop'n mental health, & its social determinants.

He will be greatly missed for his work, kindness & spirit

[EPA Section of Epidemiology & Social Psychiatry @EPAPsyEpi]

We were deeply saddened to learn of Professor Sir David Goldberg's passing this week. He was a titan of social psychiatry, & designed the Clinical Interview Schedule & General Health Questionnaire, two vital measures of mental wellbeing, amongst many other achievements

[Dr. Nicole Racine @racinen2]

A masterpiece of a paper on the #SocialDeterminants of #MentalHealth. Universal parenting interventions and supports are key.

More evidence that guaranteed cash transfers results in improved health outcomes. We discuss this in our World Psychiatry review of social determinants of mental health: https://t.co/TMs4SvaQBw.

[JAMA @JAMA_current]

A low-income community near Boston assigned individuals by lottery to receive a monthly cash benefit. Those who received the benefit had less use of the ED, particularly for behavioral health & substance use, and decreased hospital admissions from the ED. https://t.co/nJoE6w3I0L

[Ian Colman @APEAL_Lab]

Our amazing team includes @racinen2, @MCGeoffroy, @Karen_Patte, Tara Elton-Marshall, @DrLeatherdale, @HasinanisaH, and @MilaKingsbury. I couldn't be luckier to work with such a brilliant, motivated, and supportive group.

First Nations Canadians under age 60 were 6-7 times (!!) more likely to die from Covid in 2020/21 compared to non-Indigenous Canadians. Shocking new report from @StatCan_eng: https://t.co/NyBBsc7cct
