In a new #SciencePolicyArticle, researchers report on a large-scale randomized controlled trial evaluating the impacts of classroom phone restrictions on student outcomes in India.
The findings show that restricting phone use can support learning, particularly among lower-performing students.

ALT Graph titled "Phone ban impact on student academic achievement." It shows estimated impacts on average grades across various groups. The x-axis represents the estimated impact in standard deviations, ranging from negative to positive values. The y-axis lists the categories: Prior GPA (Low, High), Grade level (High school, Three-year postsecondary, Postgraduate), and Field of study (Non-STEM, STEM). Data points include estimates and 95% confidence intervals. Overall effect is displayed at the top.

An autism diagnosis, but where’s the treatment? theguardian.com/society/2026… Indeed. The 'support needs not labels' is a great tagline but what sort of support - or intervention - is actually available?

The National Data Guardian (NDG) has urged health innovation minister James Frith to give “substantial weight” to public and professional trust when deciding the future of the NHS Federated Data Platform (FDP).

I 100% support this petition asking @RCPsych to stop diagnosing children with personality disorders. When my diagnosis was changed from bipolar to borderline in my late 20s, there was a noticeable shift in the way medical professionals treated me. My behaviour hadn’t changed, but the whole atmosphere was different. I was taken less seriously, treated less kindly and generally pigeonholed as ‘difficult’.
As the petition says, I can’t see any benefit to attaching such a stigmatising label to a child. A diagnosis is not required to help young people access evidence-based care. Please sign and share!

Take this passage (p. 12) on neurodiversity from the Fonagy report.
The highlighted segments, the meaning of which is not altered by the sentences in between, seem to me to imply that some of those identifying as neurodivergent would not meet criteria for diagnosis.

Separating neurodevelopmental and psychiatric services: clinical hazard? cambridge.org/core/journals/… So perhaps less 'autism or ADHD specific assessments' and more comprehensive, condition-plus wide-ranging, non-assumptive assesments instead?
Globalmente estamos teniendo un incremento en el número récord de personas diagnosticados con problemas de salud mental y trastornos del neurodesarrollo. Es urgente analizar las causas y avanzar en respuestas racionales a un problema que está sobrepasando los sistemas de salud. – at Providencia, Chile
ADHD and autism at risk of over-diagnosis, says government review bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crkg… The Fonagy report drops today. Nothing really unexpected given the media leaks but the private assessment sector is going to see some changes.

A wave of protests over US tech giant Palantir’s involvement in the NHS have been held across England.
Dozens of events took place on 1 October outside NHS offices and hospitals across England, culminating in a rally outside the firm’s London headquarters

La evidencia en América Latina es clara: entregar “un computador por niño”, de forma universal o focalizada, no garantiza mejores aprendizajes ni reduce las brechas educativas. Un seguimiento experimental a 10 años del programa One Laptop per Child en Perú tampoco encontró mejoras en rendimiento académico ni años de escolaridad.
¿Significa esto que garantizar el acceso a computadores carece de valor?
La pregunta frente al cierre de la beca TIC de junaeb es si ¿la falta de impacto en rendimiento académico o aprendizajes justifica restringir el acceso de estudiantes vulnerables a una tecnología que hoy es parte de la vida educativa y social de millones?
Quizás estamos confundiendo dos objetivos distintos: mejorar aprendizajes y garantizar acceso digital. – at Providencia, Chile

#MedNews: Children are using #AI chatbots for advice and emotional support.
In a recent study of nearly 40 000 students, more than 1 in 5 reported using generative AI for “affective” purposes. What does this mean for mental health, help-seeking, and the need for safeguards as the tools become more common?

Why epidemiology should not be automated
In epidemiology, new knowledge comes from critical reasoning about data, about context, and about the limits of our existing understanding. Such reasoning, in turn, demands deep thought, scholarship, and diligence
