New and improved version of this study now published in @JAMAPsych! jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…
📢 What is the relationship between polygenic risk and individual symptoms of psychopathology? In a new pre-print (and my first PhD study!) we combine network analysis and polygenic risk scores ⬇️ psyarxiv.com/6mzxd/ [1/9]

Just out in @NatureHumBehav 👇🏼👇🏼 We focused on the causes & impact of self-report error in the UK Biobank. We found that reporting error does not occur at random, is not independent of other participation behaviours, and can complicate the interpretation of genome-wide findings
New preprint is out @medrxivpreprint 👇 Here, we assess the impact of error in self-report measures in the UK Biobank: what are the implications for (genetic) epidemiology? medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/… (1/) 🧵🧵

enjoyed writing this blog with @GiuliaPiazza15 on a recent study describing individal symptom networks in depression @AndreaCipriani @OmidVEbrahimi. Will be interesting to see how this develops and whether network structure is associated with response to interventions!

In a 3 cohort and 3 measure replication (ALSPAC @CO90s, #ABCDstudy, MCS @CLScohorts) we found: 1. Network temperature 'cooling' across adolescence indicating ⬆️ network stability and ⬇️ symptom variability (more alignment) with age ❄️ [5/9]

🚨🌡️New pre-print on PsyArXiv! We conceptualise and investigate network temperature as a measure of longitudinal stability in depression symptom networks across adolescence... osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/9z… [1/9]
