Workers with [compared to without] poor #mentalhealth are less likely to perform well, more likely to be absent & more likely to leave their job. Strongest evidence for prevention is having supportive teams i.e. good relationships with colleagues & managers. @MarchonStress

It's funny how it's a universal experience in academia that reviewer 1 is so full of praise you feel a moment of serenity that it's all worth it.
And #reviewer2 says your paper made them contemplate their continued existence on this planet.

Vital study I've worked on the last 3 years,demonstrating the value of longitudinal research where we see increases in PTSD rates in UK serving/ex-serving personnel associated with combat role in Iraq/Afghan in Phase4 that wasn't apparent when we were in active combat operations.
Brilliant paper unpicking loneliness&causal relationships to adverse health outcomes.
-non-causal associations between loneliness&most health outcomes-need to target other lifestyle risk factors
-Not the case for depression/substance abuse where intervention may prevent illness
Impact need not just be through #AcademicResearch. I'll be working on developing my X account to make people aware of the work we do at @AdvanceStudy to help those who experienced combat injuries #Military#disabilities#AcademicTwitter I would appreciate any insight or advice!
Earlier this week @kcmhr released findings from phase 4 of the the Health and Wellbeing Cohort Study providing important insight into how serving in Iraq and Afghanistan impacts the health and wellbeing of UK Serving and ex-Service personnel. 🔗 to the full report below.
