Had a wonderful time discussing my work during the #WCPG2023 poster session this week – celebrated by getting a Montreal bagel with @ParekhPravesh

'Where there is research, there is hope.' So proud of my center @SFFNORMENT and our irreplaceable user representative @BuschCecilie who organized a fantastic seminar for the key beneficiaries of our research - people with mental health disorders, their next of kin and clinicians

A new 9-item questionnaire of psychotic experiences was tested in 29 021 men. Higher scores were associated with schizophrenia after adjusting for concurrent depression and anxiety, supporting the validity of this brief measure. doi.org/10.1093/schbul…

Looking forward to presenting my first ever poster at the Nordic Society of Human Genetics and Precision Medicine Workshop in beautiful Tallinn 🧬👩‍🔬 #NSHGPM2023

First PhD-paper on the occurrence of psychotic experiences in a large population-based sample (N = 29,021) and the efficiency of a short and cost-effective tool for screening said experiences (CAPE-9): academic.oup.com/schizophreniab…
