Lecturer in Developmental Psychology at Lancaster University, UKAbout the author:
My research interests broadly span child and adolescent mental health with a focus on co-occurring mental health problems. I’m also interested in quantitative methodology, particularly in relation to the analysis of longitudinal data.
What I want to achieve:
My goal is to understand why children with one mental health difficulty are much more likely to develop another mental health problem concurrently or later in life. By understanding the causal pathways leading to the co-occurrence of mental health problems, I hope to inform policies and interventions that can prevent the onset of such problems.
