🚨New pre-print! Why do ADHD parents tend to have ADHD children? Mainly because they share genes. Parental ADHD behaviours (F-path👇) had v little impact on their children’s ADHD behaviours. N=22k parents & 11k 8yo children https://t.co/QmpNNGdmeF

Genes associated with sexuality & reproduction also impact a range of other traits. These outcomes are particularly interesting for genetics because they show a snapshot of natural selection 🧬

1 in 6 children have diagnosed mental health disorders. 10 minutes a day teaching mental health & well-being strategies from the early years would have a huge effect on the future of all our children. Pls, Sign the petition today #10minutesmatter #childrensmentalhealth

Most scientific studies focus on western, educated, industrialised, rich and democratic (WEIRD) populations.

But to improve health, we need to make our data less WEIRD and more diverse.

Here’s one way we’re helping to bridge the data gap ⤵️

Multidisciplinary Mental Health Research is where it's at, and we'll be explaining how to do it well in our next #MentalHealthResearchMatters webinar!
