Over 80% of adolescents who die by suicide live in LMICs, like Rwanda. Intergenerational trauma, conflict & other complex challenges contribute to high rates of youth self-harm in the country. A new study led by Dr Faith Martin reveals more: bit.ly/3Nbhf2O @psy-fm.bsky.social #MedSky

Re: running groups for people living with long term conditions. Most groups are *group education* (‘expert’ leads group) and full of content. In contrast *group activation* relies on facilitation and learning from each other with little formal content. See Irvine Yalom’s common factors.

We are a long way indeed from systematically collecting and acting on the voices of patients. Abolishing Healthwatch and handing responsibility for its work to ICBs (which are themselves undergoing massive reorganisation) is in my own view a very bad move indeed by DHSC.

Why? 🤑 In just the last 5 years, 4 publishers made $US 41 billion in revenue and $14.7B in profit - money that largely comes from taxpayer-funded research budgets. For context: the entire 2024 NSF budget was $9B USD. @elsevierconnect.bsky.social made $3.9B that year at a 38% profit margin. 2/n

Our paper on improving statistical reporting in psychology is now online 🎉 As a part of this paper, we also created the Transparent Statistical Reporting in Psychology checklist, which researchers can use to improve their statistical reporting practices www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Transparent and comprehensive statistical reporting is critical for ensuring the credibility, reproducibility, and interpretability of psychological research. This paper offers a structured set of guidelines for reporting statistical analyses in quantitative psychology, emphasizing clarity at both the planning and results stages. Drawing on established recommendations and emerging best practices, we outline key decisions related to hypothesis formulation, sample size justification, preregistration, outlier and missing data handling, statistical model specification, and the interpretation of inferential outcomes. We address considerations across frequentist and Bayesian frameworks and fixed as well as sequential research designs, including guidance on effect size reporting, equivalence testing, and the appropriate treatment of null results. To facilitate implementation of these recommendations, we provide the Transparent Statistical Reporting in Psychology (TSRP) Checklist that researchers can use to systematically evaluate and improve their statistical reporting practices (https://osf.io/t2zpq/). In addition, we provide a curated list of freely available tools, packages, and functions that researchers can use to implement transparent reporting practices in their own analyses to bridge the gap between theory and practice. To illustrate the practical application of these principles, we provide a side-by-side comparison of insufficient versus best-practice reporting using a hypothetical cognitive psychology study. By adopting transparent reporting standards, researchers can improve the robustness of individual studies and facilitate cumulative scientific progress through more reliable meta-analyses and research syntheses.

We would love to talk to parents /carers of young people who have self-harmed. This is for “PPI” (patient and public involvement) to help us plan a grant application. Please do get in touch forms.gle/H6LwzTqMERD6...

Are you a parent/carer of a child who self-harmed? Help us plan how best to involve parents/carers in research. We especially want to speak with parents who are (list of three) from Asian, Polish, or other ethnic minority backgrounds or live in low income households or receive benefits or feel their voices are not usually heard in services and research. You can be a mother, father or other carer, whatever your experience or views we want to hear from you. Your input is important and will help our research. We want to design a research project to understand who to support parents who have child how self harm. You can help us design a research project as part of “Patient public involvement”. Well ask to have a chat with you, to hear your views and get your comments or ideas. Get in touch to find out more email psmfm@bath.ac.uk Dr Faith Martin

I think this measurement/modelling thread is widely applicable. In psych we seem to treat all constructs as latent constructs. But many are not. For example, in my field, I think suicide capability often fails structural tests because it is a formative construct being modelled as latent.
