🏘️ Collective housing & detention settings were the worst.
🤝 Support, safety & autonomy mattered most.
👩 Clinicians can act on safeguarding risks & help connect people to local support.

🚨 Detention, disused barracks, budget hotels…
New systematic review finds that unsafe & unsupported housing for people seeking asylum is harming mental health.

🔍 Poor hygiene, overcrowding, lack of autonomy & fear were all linked to anxiety, PTSD, depression & more.

my theory of revision letters is that they work best when treated like what they're supposed to be, namely, a back-and-forth regarding the science you did and the analysis and communication of it

treating revision letters like other things (e.g., kissing the rings of the editor & reviewers) is dumb

Dear parents - Yes you can give your sick child paracetamol if they’re >3 months old. It’s an excellent painkiller. It brings down a high temperature. It’s one of the safest drugs available. You are right to want to soothe your child’s distress. Evidence supports your good parenting. Be confident.
