Launched a new @HiTOP_system YouTube channel to host some videos my RA Tash Turner-Cohen and I are working on. We've just posted the first one, which gives a brief overview of some of the limitations of the DSM: youtu.be/4Kwu_1oMD9U

Long-term outcomes from landmark school-based prevention study out now in @LancetDigitalH. For long-term lasting population impacts, need more than one off programs in adolescence. High-quality, long-term studies essential. More we can do to design for long-term retention.

My favourite thing about this project was thinking about how approaches like HiTOP, network approaches, and clinical staging can fit together and strengthen one another - great to see it in print after a few years in the works!
An interesting and well balanced review of approaches and models in psychopathology conceptualization was published yesterday in Nature Reviews: Psychology: nature.com/articles/s44159-0…. By @bringmann_laura @EikoFried @MiriForbes and more! It even cites my Youtube channel 😅

This is the most useful piece I've seen making the case that adolescents can & should be empowered to provide independent consent to take part in research. Tell your IRBs. Push for reform. In youth mental health research, this is a vital equity issue. mdpi.com/2075-471X/12/1/2
