[Alan Meehan @AlanJMeehan]

Delighted to see that our @NatRevPsych review of current challenges and future opportunities for #ACEs screening is now online. Hopefully a good starting point for those who want to learn more about this topical issue!

[Andrea Danese @andrea_danese]

Mitigating risk associated with Adverse Childhood Experiences #ACEs is a key public health/clinical goal, but current practices are inadequate. How do we move on from here? Our new @NatRevPsych paper w @AlanJMeehan @NatalieSlopen & no-X others @KingsIoPPN https://t.co/RcUSo1RhZV

Our new study on prediction models for ADHD is out! Massive thanks to @CorteseSamuele and the rest of the team! @AlessioBellato @AlanJMeehan @raqini @solmi_marco https://t.co/KWjYp7Jl3C

[Alan Meehan @AlanJMeehan]

@acamh @jessiebaldwin Definitely true - failing to improve sufficiently on what’s already being done (despite added implementation costs/resources) is often the biggest hurdle for any new initiatives to cross. #TacklingAces

[Alan Meehan @AlanJMeehan]

Great thread from @ACAMH summarising my talk at their #TacklingAces event today!

Two weeks until I discuss my recent ACE research as part of a fantastic line-up of experts in the field… follow the link to sign up ⬇️

[TheJCPPadvances @TheJCPPadvances]

How accurately can the conventional ‘#ACE score’ classify individuals based on their risk for mental & physical health difficulties?

Join us on 22-23 June & hear from @AlanJMeehan about his latest research at the upcoming conference on ‘Tackling #ACEs’. https://t.co/92Pt8phj1i

🚨We're looking for a data manager for @ERiskstudy to support our exciting new data collection when the twins are 30. We'd love to hear from those with existing cohort data management experience. 3-year post, d/line 27th June⏰Pls RT @kcsamh @CLOSER_UK @DatamindUK @CLScohorts

[Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience @KingsIoPPN]

Up to 80% of UK children are exposed to trauma by age 18.

For #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, Prof @andrea_danese unpacks how #ChildhoodTrauma can lead to #anxiety – and in some of the more serious cases, #PTSD.

Following this latest auto-captioning success, I will only be responding to this name from now on.

[Alan Meehan @AlanJMeehan]

@DepressionLab @molpsychiatry @Steph_J_Lewis @seenafazel @paolofusar @ESteyerberg @daniel_stahl_01 @andrea_danese Afraid I don’t have the exact number to hand, but as I recall this was a relatively small handful of studies - mostly where authors used a total score for a relevant clinical measure (e.g., PHQ-9) rather than categorising groups based on validated cut-offs.
