I'm incredibly honoured to receive this award. I only wish that Jane Murphy would here to celebrate. She and Alex were the gold standard in our field.
A huge congratulations to Dr. Ian Colman (@APEAL_Lab), who is the 2021 recipient of the Alexander Leighton Award in Psychiatric Epidemiology! Please join us at the @CAPEpidemiology virtual conference on October 27 to hear his keynote address.
The @APEAL_Lab is recruiting for a post-doc focused on supportive factors for mental health of transgender and gender diverse youth: psychepi.com/2024/10/18/post…. Please share widely!
Sobering new @APEAL_Lab research shows that we need better supports for transgender and gender diverse people.
A nationally representative study from Canada found that transgender and gender diverse people are at a higher risk of past year and lifetime mental health disorders, substance use disorder, and suicidal behavior, compared to the cisgender population. ja.ma/47XXLoE

Before our opening plenary, @WesselyS pays tribute to Sir David Goldberg, 1934-2024, who passed away last week.
He changed the field, providing better understanding of pop'n mental health, & its social determinants.
He will be greatly missed for his work, kindness & spirit
Ian Colman retweeted
We were deeply saddened to learn of Professor Sir David Goldberg's passing this week. He was a titan of social psychiatry, & designed the Clinical Interview Schedule & General Health Questionnaire, two vital measures of mental wellbeing, amongst many other achievements

A masterpiece of a paper on the #SocialDeterminants of #MentalHealth. Universal parenting interventions and supports are key.

Very cool post-doc opportunity at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (@Folkehelseinst) on young adult #mentalhealth and labour force exclusion: 945000.webcruiter.no/Main/Re…
More evidence that guaranteed cash transfers results in improved health outcomes. We discuss this in our World Psychiatry review of social determinants of mental health: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/….
A low-income community near Boston assigned individuals by lottery to receive a monthly cash benefit. Those who received the benefit had less use of the ED, particularly for behavioral health & substance use, and decreased hospital admissions from the ED. ja.ma/3LAS3hU
Delighted that @CIHR_IRSC is supporting new @APEAL_Lab research on supportive factors for mental health of gender diverse youth! Can't wait to get to work with superstar co-PI @IAlexAbramovich, a team of great collaborators, and our wonderful community partner, @juliemalbogat.
Our amazing team includes @racinen2, @MCGeoffroy, @Karen_Patte, Tara Elton-Marshall, @DrLeatherdale, @HasinanisaH, and @MilaKingsbury. I couldn't be luckier to work with such a brilliant, motivated, and supportive group.
First Nations Canadians under age 60 were 6-7 times (!!) more likely to die from Covid in 2020/21 compared to non-Indigenous Canadians. Shocking new report from @StatCan_eng: www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/…
