🧠 Prospective vs. retrospective measures of childhood maltreatment often flag different people 🧑 🔍 More social support & better mental health → less retrospective recall 🔍 Higher SES & more positive family functioning → harder prospective detection @kingsioppn.bsky.social @kingscsmh.bsky.social

E-Risk Study @eriskstudy.bsky.social · 20/03/2026

🧠🌍 A recent E‑Risk finding shows a small link between higher childhood NOx exposure and later depression. No strong links for other pollutants — but clean air still matters for young people’s mental health 🩵 @kingsioppn.bsky.social @kingscsmh.bsky.social

E-Risk Study @eriskstudy.bsky.social · 14/02/2026

Across three cohorts, including the E-Risk Study, a paper led by Dr Kyle Bourassa found that young people with lifetime PTSD show elevated suPAR at age 18, a marker of chronic inflammation. A key insight into how trauma shapes long‑term health. 📚✨ @kingsioppn.bsky.social @kingscsmh.bsky.social

E-Risk Study @eriskstudy.bsky.social · 23/01/2026

🧠 Why do reports of childhood maltreatment change over time? Our research shows shifts between childhood records and self-reports at 18: 1️⃣ Some harms weren’t recognised earlier 2️⃣ Recalling/sharing later isn’t easy 3️⃣ People reinterpret experiences over time Each report adds something important 💡

💬 How we talk to our children matters, long after childhood. New findings from the E-Risk Study show that maternal warmth and negativity at age 10 are linked to mental health in adolescence. 📽 Watch Dr Alice Wickersham explain more in this video. @kingscsmh.bsky.social @kingsioppn.bsky.social
