Background Increased intra‐subject variability ( ISV ) in reaction times (RTs) is a promising endophenotype for attention‐deficit hyperactivity disorder ADHD and among the most robust hallmarks of disorder. has been assumed to represent an attentional deficit, either reflecting lapses attention or increased neural noise. Here, we use innovative single‐trial event‐related potential approach assess whether associated with indeed attributable attention, it related response‐related processing....
Abstract Background UK prisons were profoundly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite this, uptake of vaccination remained low in these settings. Social roles, relationships, and freedoms influence vaccine uptake. Prisons are isolated design may foster mistrust that negatively influences also unique communities with their own social networks relationships. Methods We undertook a questionnaire survey across all six Wales, UK, to gather data on behaviour, attitudes, other influencing...
Growing male anabolic steroid use is often framed as symptomatic of a post-industrial masculinity crisis, but little quantitative evidence exists for this account. We examine whether associated with geographic exposure to industrial decline, namely historical coal mining, and any association mediated by masculine norms. fielded quota-sampled survey 18-49 year-old men in Wales (N = 1425). Data were geo-linked the extent historic mining locally respondents. Generalised linear mixed models...
Increased intra-subject variability of reaction times (ISV-RT) is one the most consistent findings in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Although nature this phenomenon still unclear, it has been hypothesised to reflect interference from Default Mode Network (DMN). So far, ISV-RT operationally defined either as a frequency spectrum underlying RT time series, or measure dispersion scores distribution. Here, we use novel analysis framework link these hitherto unconnected facets...
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based intervention that has been included in the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence guidelines as a recommended treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder UK. However, implementing sustaining treatments routine practice can be difficult to achieve. This study compared survival early late adopters DBT well teams trained via different training modes (on-site versus off-site), explored factors aided or hindered implementation...
Despite clinical observation that stroke survivors frequently experience loneliness, there is no large-scale empirical evidence to support this observation. Therefore, the primary objective of research was provide first and comprehensive estimate loneliness in survivor population.To address issue, we completed two preregistered analyses a nationally representative annual survey (N > 21,000). A two-phase approach adopted combining both exploratory (Study 1) confirmatory 2) phases. The benefit...
Objective: Recent discussions of aetiological overlap between ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) require comparative studying these disorders. Method: We examined performance ASD patients with (ASD+) without (ASD–) comorbid ADHD, patients, controls for selected putative endophenotypes ADHD: Intrasubject Variability (ISV) reaction times, working memory (WM), inhibition, temporal processing. Results: found that or ASD+, but not ASD–, had elevated ISV across the entire task battery...
Caffeine has a well-established effect on reaction times (RTs) but the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying this are unclear.
Bullying is an internationally recognized problem and school-based bullying particularly pervasive. KiVa a robustly evidenced antibullying programme developed evaluated at Turku University, Finland, subsequently disseminated across Finland. Following positive UK trial of Unit 2 (for 10- to 12-year-olds), further dissemination has taken place. This study presents (a) pupil self-reported levels victimization prior to, after, one year implementation (Units 1 2) with 7- 11-year-olds from 41...
Background The new behavioural norms needed to reduce the spread of COVID-19 are likely scaffolded by social capital. Research on capital and has yielded mixed results, with some studies finding it be protective while others identifying as a risk factor. We examined association between at finer spatial scale than previous research, changes in relationship over course pandemic. Methods Routine surveillance data from Wales were linked estimates small area level. Generalised linear effects...
Vaccine hesitancy is a barrier to Covid-19 vaccine uptake and displays social gradient, compounding health disparities. While gradients are vital concept in health, they flatten distinctions between types of disadvantaged community. This paper focuses on hesitance post-industrial de-industrialising coalfields. The consequences the decline coal mining may present barriers uptake. We ran parallel surveys Wales (N = 4187) US states overlapping with central Appalachia 4864), examine whether...
