A huge congratulations to Dr. Ian Colman (@APEAL_Lab), who is the 2021 recipient of the Alexander Leighton Award in Psychiatric Epidemiology! Please join us at the @CAPEpidemiology virtual conference on October 27 to hear his keynote address.
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!
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
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
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
Very cool post-doc opportunity at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (@Folkehelseinst) on young adult #mentalhealth and labour force exclusion: https://t.co/0FpqSHvsVd

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
