Trends in child and adolescent mental health: Priorities for research

Professor Stephan Collishaw

Professor

Cardiff University

His research takes a lifecourse developmental approach to study common mental health problems, including depression and anxiety. He uses prospective population and high-risk cohorts to study the development of mental health problems across childhood, adolescence and into adulthood.

He is interested in protective factors that promote mental health resilience in high-risk children and that optimize long-term outcomes. His research also examines population-level change in young people's mental health, and tests which factors explain the recent increase in youth anxiety and depression.
