New publication from @COVID19_LHW and @MRCLHA researchers, using NSHD data, shows that levels of mental health distress during the pandemic varied by sex, education and age. @pravpatalay @_JaneMaddock @KishansTweets
Have you seen the latest #COVID19LHW Collaborative paper? Using data from ~50,000 participants from 11 UK longitudinal studies shows that levels of mental distress varied by sex, education level and age. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

This new @COVID19_LHW preprint uses data from our 4 cohort studies to examine how the furlough scheme was associated with participants’ smoking, vaping and alcohol consumption behaviours in the early stages of the pandemic.
New findings from the @COVID19_LHW collaboration #nationalcorestudy show no clear evidence that furlough impacted smoking, vaping or drinking habits. Data from @CLScohorts @CO90s @usociety @ELSA_Study and @genscot #COVID19LHW
