In this Papers Podcast, Maria Palma and Associate Professor Alice Goisis discuss their co-authored JCPP paper ‘Medically assisted reproduction and mental health in adolescence: evidence from the UK Millennium Cohort Study’ (https://doi.org/10.1111/jcpp.13877).
There is an overview of the paper, methodology, key findings, and implications for practice.
Discussion points include:

• What the UK Millennium Cohort Study is.
• The differences in parental reports on adolescent mental health between MAR (medically assisted reproduction) adolescents and naturally conceived adolescents.
• The differences between adolescent self-reports and parental reports on adolescent mental health.
• The association between MAR conception and mental health outcomes in adolescents.
• Implications for clinical practice and researchers.

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.
