There is an overview of the paper, methodology, key findings, and implications for practice.
Discussion points include:
- Definitions of ‘lateral ventricular volume enlargement’ and ‘epigenetics process of DNA methylation’.
- The advantage of capturing DNA methylation at different life stages.
- How this approach will further knowledge in this field.
- Implications of the findings for researchers, and clinicians.
- Potential follow-up studies.
In this series, we speak to authors of papers published in one of ACAMH’s three journals. These are The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry (JCPP); The Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CAMH) journal; and JCPP Advances.
