Rebecca Cooper

she/her | Postdoctoral Fellow in Psychiatry at @BostonChildrens | Researching psychosis, sleep, brain development & risk markers for psychiatric disorders

@sciqst While greater sleep irregularity and shorter duration were most relevant for cross-sectional mental health outcomes, only short duration was associated with increases in symptom severity 1 year later. Short duration may thus be an optimal target for future interventions.

‼️ New manuscript in JAMA Pediatrics! We used Fitbit data from >3000 young adolescents to identify 6 sleep health dimensions. Day-to-day irregularity and shorter sleep duration were most strongly linked to transdiagnostic mental health outcomes.

🆕 Research! We identified 4 trajectories of psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) in young adolescents (N>10,000). Lifestyle factors (screen time, sleep, caffeine, physical activity) differentiated youth with severe and persistent PLE trajectories

@likeajumprope CONGRTAULATIONS JOHANNA!! 🥳

[Rebecca Cooper @beccooper_]

@IanKelleherMD and team found that individuals who present to hospital with self-harm are a high-risk group for developing psychosis or bipolar disorder. Excited to see novel, objective markers of psychosis risk!

I somehow managed to lose my voice and get sunburnt in the last 2 days, but I am happy to be here at #SMHR2023, sharing our work on help-seeking for self-harm in young people at @HFandSTS.
