Greater Manchester residents are struggling with their mental health yet are reluctant to seek help for it - that's the concerning finding of research shared exclusively with @MancWorldUK by @NationalWorld @ClaireJWilde. (@SurgoVentures @MindCharity) #Manchester #mentalhealth

🚨 It’s Britain’s ‘second pandemic’ - demand for treatment for depression, anxiety, eating disorders and other mental illnesses are at unprecedented levels, according to health services. 🧵

Fantastic report covering the results of @SurgoVentures Mental Health Data Explorer https://t.co/k0N1pdrLI1 The lived experiences of people who have suffered silently with mental illness really highlights this pressing issue. Thanks @ClaireJWilde @NationalWorld

COVID-19 showed us that #socialdistancing is vital, but not popular. @SurgoVentures latest @TheHDSR article shows how we used #machinelearning to find the specific factors that drove compliance & why it matters. https://t.co/RIlVFnlxL0

Pleased to share our latest publication in Behavior Genetics: https://t.co/Rz7Eel1ltI In this paper we used polygenic scores 🧬 to understand more about resilience to peer victimisation. Thank you to my co-authors @adele_wang_ @oligotweet and @cmahaworth and @CO90s @_SWDTP @ESRC

Today @SurgoVentures launches our new UK #COVID19 Vulnerability Impact Tracker, which is updated daily to show the disproportionate impact of COVID on people in the UK’s most vulnerable communities in England's 9 regions + Wales, Scotland & N. Ireland: https://t.co/9Qy0b94U5O

[Adele Wang @adele_wang_]

It’s #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek in the UK, and @SurgoVentures has released a brand new analysis finding that #youngadults have been disproportionately affected in their mental health during the pandemic. What can we do about it? Read on: https://t.co/u0OsVX8v34

New from @SurgoVentures UK: We deployed psychobehavioral segmentation to understand beliefs and barriers that influence ppls’ decisions on the #COVIDVaccine: https://t.co/eB6VzsPgZO

📣 HOT OFF THE PRESS: The US is averaging 3M covid shots/day - great! So, we are on our way to herd immunity, right??
Not so fast! Our projections 👇 show that starting end of APRIL, #COVIDVaccine uptake will slow down considerably. 🧵 1/8

[Adele Wang @adele_wang_]

B/c states decide which groups get prioritized for #COVIDVaccines, there are a lot of questions about who's next in line, where. @SurgoVentures+@AriadneLabs worked w/@nytopinion to help sort it out: https://t.co/n1Dz5VNS8P

New study of HCW's feelings on #CovidVaccines: 1) 49% definitely getting vaccine; 2) 53% already offered the vaccine & 15% refused it; 3) HCWs in long-term care facilities more hesitant than those in hospitals; 4) Small healthcare orgs are underserved.
