Our new paper on age at #migration and #psychosis risk is out today in @PLOSMentalHlth. We find that migrating during adolescence, defined in the study as 11-17 years old, is associated with almost twice the risk of psychosis cf. non-migrants. journals.plos.org/mentalheal… 1/n

Age-at-migration, ethnicity and psychosis risk: Findings from the EU-GEI case-control study
