Great to work with Emma, Paul and Connor on this. Real-life, real-world data about food-marketing cues reactions with EMA.
📢 our latest paper: food marketing exposures associated with hunger and craving in adults, largely category specific (fast food ads -> fast food craving). Nice to use EMA in this space too, a useful tool for real world assessments.

NEW PUBLICATION - Our Mental Health theme asked 249 people with severe mental ill health questions about their digital skills & found that 42% of people with SMI didn't have foundation digital skills. Read the full article here journals.sagepub.com/doi/ful… @DrRuthWadman @panos_span02
In the new digital era of (mental health) services, digital inclusion should be addressed at the outset. Our new paper keeps pointing in that direction.
We are back and we are bringing good news:

New paper - Almost half of UK military personel with alcohol use problems do not see their alcohol use as problematic. More challenging experiences overall facilitate recognition. @Laura_Goodwin_ @ntfear @rjgribble doi.org/10.1007/s00127-022-0…
Huge EMA meta-analysis: Contrary to traditional beliefs, people drink more in good but not bad days. Currently a pre-print. Sounds super interesting.

This is horrendous - just when you thought management at @LivUni couldn't get any worse...
The University have already lost many incredible staff members and I have no doubt that they are about to lose many more

People with SMI have some of the worst physical health issues of any section of the population. Since 2018, we've been striving to better understand this profound health inequality & reduce its effects.
#Target2 is the quintessence of our network.

Bittersweet news. A shame that many colleagues felt forced into VS or fled the work environment management created. But fantastic that no compulsory redundancies were made and an enhanced VS was offered - due to amazing union action.
Our new paper on digital exclusion in SMI during the pandemic. It is a form of inequality that requires attention and action. frontiersin.org/article/10.3…
@CTGNetworkUK @MHARG_york
Pre-print: 42% of our sample with SMI had no foundation digital skills. We need focused policy and tailored mental health sector support to tackle digital exclusion in this population. @CTGNetworkUK @Al_Mathers @JohnBaker_Leeds @SimonGilbody
