Delighted to see that our @NatRevPsych review of current challenges and future opportunities for #ACEs screening is now online. Hopefully a good starting point for those who want to learn more about this topical issue!
Mitigating risk associated with Adverse Childhood Experiences #ACEs is a key public health/clinical goal, but current practices are inadequate. How do we move on from here? Our new @NatRevPsych paper w @AlanJMeehan @NatalieSlopen & no-X others @KingsIoPPN nature.com/articles/s44159-0…

Our new study on prediction models for ADHD is out! Massive thanks to @CorteseSamuele and the rest of the team! @AlessioBellato @AlanJMeehan @raqini @solmi_marco nature.com/articles/s41380-0…
Our systematic review/meta-regression led by @gsalazardepablo in @molpsychiatry The long road to #precision #medicine in #ADHD. Out of 100 individualised models in #ADHD, only 7% were internally validated and none was implemented in clinical practice. nature.com/articles/s41380-0…

Up to 80% of UK children are exposed to trauma by age 18. For #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, Prof @andrea_danese unpacks how #ChildhoodTrauma can lead to #anxiety – and in some of the more serious cases, #PTSD. Read his blog➡️kcl.ac.uk/when-bad-experienc… #KingsIoPPN #MHAW23

Our big message: as these methods become more accessible, researchers, reviewers and editors should set more rigorous methodological standards for prediction studies. To promote real-life implementation, we should also have the clinical goals for our models in mind from the start

Finally, thanks to everyone who contributed to this work in any shape or form. As you can see from the date of the original outline, this has been a long-gestating project! I hope it provides a useful snapshot of precision psychiatry to date, and a map of where we go from here.
