The final ECR presentation for the day is Dr. @AmandaMarch7 from @SwanseaUni presenting on The Impact of Published Guidance on Trends in the Pharmacological Management of Depression in Children and Adolescents - a whole population e-cohort data linkage study in Wales, UK. Key finding: Antidepressant prescribing for children and young people changed after 2016 guidance, but not as expected. #MentalHealthResearch #DataScienceMeeting #ECR

Next up in the ECR presentations, Ms. Luce Stewart from @KingsIoPPN presents Mortality in mental health service users without a diagnosis - a South London EHR linkage study. Their findings show that people with unspecified/uncertain diagnoses have significantly higher standardised mortality ratios (SMR), similar to those with F-code (mental health) diagnoses. #MentalHealthResearch #ECR #DataScienceMeeting @MQmentalhealth
