After moving to the U.S. for a sabbatical, I started noticing how school structure, social life, and parental time quietly shape children’s mental health. My two cents are here: 👉 amitbaumel.com/post/children-…

Closing the mental health treatment gap: Evidence from national implementation of digital parent training. The secret sauce? A screening procedure conducted at the right time for the entire population. Proud to take part in this. @voimaperheet link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Congrats @ivytran_17 @STANGlab @amitba and team journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/20…

@EikoFried Well, I checked ai capabilities to recover the plate number (used LetsEnhance), and it didn't work. I guess it is impossible to recover something that wasn't really captured at the first place. :-/

Accidental video of 'our' hit & run last week (we got hit, the other party ran). We're unharmed (I assume the other party is, too) but the car isn't. Frustrating that video quality isn't good enough to identify number plate. If anyone has magic available, please ... 🪄✨

Our new sys_rev: Only one intervention was examined both in research and real-world "settings". The transition resulted in an inability to replicate positive results. Led by one of my PhD students, Mayan Cohen. #implementationscience #digitalhealth authors.elsevier.com/a/1ixrH3HQGmiI…

Implementation science in behavioral health focuses too much on asking why efficacious interventions don’t work in reality. We could advance much more by asking what was wrong and biased in the research that found it to be efficacious. #mentalhealth #behavioralsciences

Proper product design can significantly boost user engagement in unguided digital interventions📣 We achieved a 69% completion rate in a digital parent training program, compared to 28% using the standard eLearning platform. Details in this paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.inve…

@ShiriSharvit @EleosHealth Congratulations! Really great work.

@ohadsamet If one sees a behavior he dislikes and this brings him to think the person is Jewish and/or talk against her, this is antisemitism by definition. It doesn't matter that he was angry. I do not see victimization in recording such people and showing their face to the world.

Maybe it's because I grew up in Israel but I don't see oh-my-god-antisemitism here, just a jerk trying to say hurtful things. Politely tell him to get fucked and carry on. I don't think self victimization is doing any of us any favors.

@ohadsamet Not entirely. It could signal one's belief in rituals to feel safe, such as following obsessive patterns. In this case, it wouldn't necessarily mean that they believe it will stop infection, but just make them feel less anxious.

If you’re still wearing a mask right now, it signals you’ve always been a real believer in their ability to stop infection, right?

I am very excited to chair this event showcasing how to build a #digitalhealth intervention almost for free. Truly remarkable opportunity to learn from creative researchers who built complete digital interventions on survey platforms. Help us spread the word!

In this paper I reviewed #digitalhealth tools for social and peer support in perinatal #mentalhealth. Loneliness and lack in support are extremely related with this condition. To help, we must target the right mechanisms of change: rdcu.be/dnz6a

Important paper below. I believe there is almost no room for wait list control when studying a #digitalhealth intervention, as there is an interaction between treatment and trial setting that boosts treatment effect but does not impact those who get nothing. @JohnTorousMD

@heleenriper Thank you Heleen! I was sorry I couldn't make it to ESRII this year, hoping to meet you in ISRII-Ireland.

e-Therapeutic Alliance: Integrating facets unique to the digital space contribute above conventional factors to understanding alliance. A new paper by @OhadAshur, my talented PhD student. #digitalhealth #mHealth #eHealth #mentalhealth rdcu.be/dlv8P

@JSchleiderPhD Congrats and best of luck!!!

New office, new view, new city 😍🤩 (decoration/furniture tips are most welcome, interior design is a lesser strength for me!)

@steveschueller @SD_RISEMHLab @draguilera @NIMHgov LOVE to see peer support embedded within the intervention and being researched in this magnitude. We really need more of these funded by grant agencies. Well done!🤟

A lot of @SD_RISEMHLab 's points really aligned with why @draguilera and I landed on peer-supported digital interventions for our SUPERA study to help support Spanish-speaking Latino/a/xs: reporter.nih.gov/search/uEvoXJb… funded by @NIMHgov

@ohadsamet Now, one has to wonder about the exact context in which this came up in your mind.🙃

Walter White’s “I am the one who knocks” is an incredible litmus test
