Commentary: Something old, something new – can adding genomic data to family studies advance our understanding of the impact of nature and nurture on mental health? Commentary on McAdams et al. (2023)
Open Access paper from the JCPP – ‘In their annual research review, McAdams, Cheesman, and Ahmadzadeh (2023) provide a thorough overview of how the use of novel genetically informative approaches can increase our knowledge about the intergenerational transmission of psychopathology. Here we highlight what we see as the three main takeaways of McAdams et al.’s review and reflect on future directions.’ Jasmin Wertz and Stephanie J. Lewis

Research Review: Delineating early developmental pathways to ADHD: Setting an international research agenda
Open Access paper from JCPP Advances – ‘We introduce the recently established Early ADHD Consortium, an international network of investigators engaged in prospective, longitudinal studies of risk for ADHD beginning early in life, conducted within a developmental framework, and which incorporate multimethod approaches. This network seeks to harmonize measures and methodological approaches to increase the potential for data sharing and subsequent impact.’ Meghan Miller (pic) et al.

Annual Research Review: Prenatal opioid exposure – a two-generation approach to conceptualizing neurodevelopmental outcomes
Paper from the JCPP Special Issue: Annual Research Review 2023 – ‘Opioid use during pregnancy impacts the health and well-being of two generations: the pregnant person and the child. The factors that increase risk for opioid use in the adult, as well as those that perpetuate risk for the caregiver and child, oftentimes replicate across generations and may be more likely to affect child neurodevelopment than the opioid exposure itself. In this article, we review the prenatal opioid exposure literature with the perspective that this is not a singular event but an intergenerational cascade of events.’ Elisabeth Conradt (pic) et al.

Association between depression diagnosis and educational attainment trajectories: an historical cohort study using linked data
Open Access paper from the JCPP – To understand the association between clinical depression and course of attainment, we aimed to investigate the attainment trajectories that are generally observed among a community sample of pupils, and test the hypothesis that depression diagnosis is associated with membership of lower or declining attainment trajectories. Alice Wickersham (pic) et al.
