Excited to share that I secured funding to advance my work here! While we often focus on mental health declines, I want to explore mental well-being. We use this term often, but how is it conceptualized/measured & what influences it? This funding will help answer these Qs! 😆
With the support of the @hamhealth, we are thrilled to announce three of our Post-doctoral Fellows have received $20,000 each in funding to continue/begin their #research @McMasterU! We are so grateful to our donors for this generous gift. Congratulations to our post-docs!👏
🚨 New paper in #BMCPublicHealth! Using Canada’s 2019 #CHSCY data, we examined the WG/UNICEF Child Functioning Module. The study offers insight into how functioning clusters, and the need for better measures of functioning in youth! #MeasurementMatters

Such a pleasure presenting our @Mac_AYM work on measurement of youth mental health and longitudinal changes in functional difficulties 😊
Another new paper - 2 in one month! 👏 @RedicanEnya
We conducted a systematic review of the psychometric assessment of measures used to assess eco-anxiety.

Had a great morning discussing our upcoming work on measuring child and youth mental health. I discussed insights form psychometrics and how this impacts how we measure, conceptualize and ultimately understand the development of mental health in youth. Thanks for having me! 😊

Incredible work from @annamoore1978 It’s no surprise Anna received a UKRI Future Leader Fellowship for her work on early identification of adolescent mental health problems in the UK. What a trial-blazer. Excited to see this work progress! 👏🏼 Thanks for sharing with @OffordCentre

@AACAP
It was a great start to #AACAP2024 yesterday. Excited for a week of new insights, meaningful discussions, and sharing our work on child and adolescent mental health.
Day 1! Started wth a thought-provoking symposium by Robert Krueger on the #HiTopModel and approaches to measuring psychopathology. Given our work with youth I’ve developed a strong interest in measurement of mental health in this population, this was a v.interesting conversation!
