Journal Article

Allotment gardens are widespread across European cities and serve as much-needed green spaces generating positive environmental externalities. Changing user preferences result in excessive built-up constructions and changing land use, that contradict...

Inter-rater reliability of stress signatures in exfoliated primary dentition - Improving scientific rigor and reproducibility in histological data collection (2025)
Journal Article

Accentuated Lines (ALs) in tooth enamel can reflect metabolic disruptions from physiological or psychological stresses during development. They can therefore serve as a retrospective biomarker of generalized stress exposure in archaeological and clin...

Sensitive periods for exposure to indoor air pollutants and psychosocial factors in association with symptoms of psychopathology at school-age in a South African birth cohort (2025)
Journal Article

Exposure to environmental toxicants and psychosocial stressors during gestation and early life are particularly harmful and may impact brain development. Specifically, exposure to indoor air pollutants (IAP) and psychosocial factors (PF) during these...

Stress reactivity moderates the association between stressful life events and depressive symptoms in adolescents: Results from a population-based study (2024)
Journal Article

A large body of evidence links stressful life events with depression. However, little is understood about the role of perceived impact in this association. We performed regression analysis to investigate whether self-reported stress reactivity (deriv...

Maximizing insights from longitudinal epigenetic age data: Simulations, applications, and practical guidance (2024)
Journal Article

Background: Epigenetic age (EA) is an age estimate, developed using DNA methylation (DNAm) states of selected CpG sites across the genome. Although EA and chronological age are highly correlated, EA may not increase uniformly with time. Departures, k...

DNA methylation mediates the link between adversity and depressive symptoms (2024)
Journal Article

Experiences of childhood adversity can double risk for depression. Although the mechanisms underlying this relationship remain unclear, DNA methylation (DNAm) has emerged as a potential pathway to explain the link between adversity and depression. Th...

Developmental timing of associations among parenting, brain architecture, and mental health (2024)
Journal Article

Importance
Parenting is associated with brain development and long-term health outcomes, although whether these associations depend on the developmental timing of exposure remains understudied. Identifying these sensitive periods can inform when and... Read More about Developmental timing of associations among parenting, brain architecture, and mental health.

Life-course influences of poverty on violence and homicide: 30-year Brazilian birth cohort study (2024)

Depressive symptoms in adolescence and adult educational and employment outcomes: A structured life course analysis (2024)
Journal Article

Background. Depression is a common mental health disorder that often starts during adolescence, with potentially important future consequences including ‘Not in Education, Employment or Training’ (NEET) status. Methods. We took a structured life cour... Read More about Depressive symptoms in adolescence and adult educational and employment outcomes: A structured life course analysis.

Developing emotional preparedness and mental resilience through high-fidelity simulation: A ‘bridge too far’ for institutions teaching major trauma management and mass-casualty medicine? (2024)
Journal Article

Background: Clinical acumen represents only part of being adequately equipped to attend a major incident. The emotive sights, sounds and smells of these dynamic environments are all-encompassing experiences, and responders must also be armed with the...

How well do parents identify their child's baby teeth? Engagement and accuracy of parent-reported information on a tooth checklist survey (2024)
Journal Article

Objectives: Naturally exfoliated primary teeth are being increasingly collected in child development studies. Most of these odontological collections and tooth biobanks use parent-reported information from questionnaires or tooth checklists to collec...

The relationship between type, timing and duration of exposure to adverse childhood experiences and adolescent self-harm and depression: Findings from three UK prospective population-based cohorts (2024)
Journal Article

Background: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are well-established risk factors for self-harm and depression. However, despite their high comorbidity, there has been little focus on the impact of developmental timing and the duration of exposure t...
