A Cambridge professor is dead after facing extraordinary scrutiny over alleged PhD errors. The Times, Telegraph and Mail published 111 articles about Jason Arday. Edward Higgs asks what lay behind this campaign when other plagiarism cases attracted far less attention.

Do extra payments to in-service teachers in shortage subjects improve retention? We thought our analysis might back up the fairly strong 'yes' from UK literature so far, but our findings were not as conclusive. In this blog I assess the findings and what they might mean for policy: bit.ly/4liHKQ5

This now joins a list of big, well-designed trials that show universal mental health interventions do not improve adolescent mental health (and indeed some show negative effects) BUT there is something important to note here: many young people didn't use the app much. i.e. engagement was low

I’ve had lots of messages about my Guardian article, in which I argued we should stop universal mental health lessons in schools. The messages have fallen into three categories, and I’m reflecting on this here because I think it exposes something interesting in the field (and research in general) 🧵

This paper has now been published 🤠

The romanticisation of mental health problems in adolescents and its
implications: a narrative review
Awa Ndour1
· Lucy Foulkes1

Romanticisation is the perception and portrayal of a phenomenon as more attractive, interesting, cool, profound or desirable
than it really is. There are concerns that mental health problems are increasingly romanticised, particularly among adolescents,
but there is limited research on this topic. This narrative review investigated: (1) what romanticisation is in the context of
adolescent mental health problems, (2) why adolescents might romanticise mental health problems, (3) the implications of
romanticising mental health problems in adolescence, and (4) what interventions might reduce this phenomenon. Sixty-one
publications were reviewed, including qualitative and quantitative analyses, cross-sectional and longitudinal self-report
studies and conceptual reviews. Most investigated romanticisation of mental health problems online, with most researchers
situated in a Western context. Identity formation, popular media infuences and peer infuences arose as potential explanatory
factors. Negative outcomes to romanticisation were indicated, including the reinforcement of mental health problems and
reduced help-seeking; few interventions to reduce the phenomenon have been proposed to date.
