So grateful the Bay State Banner highlighted our work in the context of Boston’s youth mental health policy efforts. @RandiMSchuster @JAACAP
More school support=more power to prevent, not just respond
We need sustainable, community-centered solutions

In a @chicagotribune op-ed, @AVPapachristos, @jamiekalven, & @jeeves write about their new study that develops tools to detect possible crews of criminal cops. They argue that early detection of corrupt police may stop the next Ronald Watts crew.

how do we know a risk marker is specific to psychosis, rather than indicative of Transdiagnostic vulnerability? check out new meta led by Zach Millman exploring these questions with neurocognition and CHR @SchizBulletin @jamesmgold @tersvar

Early life psychosocial adversities are broad and have unique impacts on development of cognition and clinical symptoms, though they are often reduced to simplistic socio-legal definitions of adversity (e.g. adoption, disrupted caregiving) Our latest 1/n cambridge.org/core/journals/…

Do you know someone who is unvaccinated, had COVID, and thinks they are immune to re-infection and now don't need to get vaccinated? Our new report says they should think again:

To better understand systemic health disparities it is key to identify influencing factors. We explored neural correlates of structural disadvantage, & find distinct & converging neural correlates of different types of environments.@OHBM @tersvar @DammeSf

Another very timely article from the #RDoC special issue. @adaptprog examines the risk of developing #psychopathology by assessing the relationship between discrimination, depressive symptoms, & implicit emotion regulation through RDoC conceptualizations; doi.org/10.1017/S09545794210…
