RADAR research study

Well done to @Zhaime on publication of this review on the effects of psychiatric drugs on social cognition (effects which likely confound findings of social cognition deficits in people with psychosis). Part of a project arising from the @RADARprogramme. link.springer.com/epdf/10.1186/s…

Just published: paper on why survival analysis is misleading in trials of long-term drug treatment of psychiatric conditions because it obscures the withdrawal effect @PGtzsche1 @ReadReadj @markhoro @HengartnerMP ebm.bmj.com/content/early/…

@joannamoncrieff @RobFreudenthal @ODDESSI_UCL @NELFTResearch Last but not least we have ex-RADAR researcher @GeorgieBuswell who is presenting a systematic review she led on psychosis-related PTSD looking at prevalence rates and associated factors doi.org/10.1186/s12888…

@joannamoncrieff @RobFreudenthal @ODDESSI_UCL @NELFTResearch The authors found that MH staff were highly motivated to support their frontline colleagues and found it rewarding, however they experienced anxiety and uncertainty around their role, overwork and overlooked their own MH. Concl: urgent need to consider needs of MH staff

We are live tweeting from the online #RADARconference2021 today promoting researcher engagement at our sites across the country. We’ve got an exciting agenda of speakers starting at 2pm.

Paper co-written with @RADARprogramme colleagues shows that it is possible to carry out RCTs in people with schizophrenia which are representative, with regards to illness severity, of the broader population of people with schizophrenia

The @RADARprogramme webinar on adverse effects following antipsychotic discontinuation and what they consist of is now available ucl.ac.uk/psychiatry/res…
