Background: Training for PhD researchers was previously identified by the Wellcome Trust funded Emerging Research Cultures project as an area for further investigation to ensure an inclusive culture which enables PhD students to become well-rounded researchers.
Methods: The Taskforce on Training conducted a survey of 35 Wellcome Trust funded PhD students and 10 programme administrators to evaluate the provision of training in eight key areas. This survey examined a number of issues, such as availability and knowledge of training, potential gaps in training, and the perceived usefulness of training.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between setting-level deprivation and cannabis use in affecting the incidence of first-episode psychotic disorders (FEP).
- Researchers used data from 14 settings in the EU-GEI study to analyze how factors like owner-occupancy and daily cannabis use correlate with FEP incidence among individuals aged 18-64.
- Findings revealed that lower owner-occupancy rates were linked to higher rates of psychosis, while daily cannabis use was specifically associated with affective psychoses, suggesting environmental factors play a significant role in psychotic disorder incidence.
Background: Many people with psychosis experience difficulties in everyday social situations. Anxiety can make life challenging, leading to withdrawal. Cognitive therapy, using active in vivo learning, enables people to overcome fears.
