James KirkbrideReader in Epidemiology,ÌýDivision of Psychiatry My lab,ÌýPsyLifeÌý(), aims to investigateÌýthe social determinants of psychosis at multiple levels of causation across the life course.ÌýI amÌýparticularly interested in understanding how our social, built and physical environments can affect the risk of psychosis, and why migrants and their descendants show elevated rates of psychotic disorder. This research is explored throughÌýseries of multilevel and longitudinal epidemiological investigations. Our research currently includesÌýtwo large, epidemiological studies of first episode psychosis: the Social Epidemiology of Psychoses in East Anglia study [SEPEA] () and the Cambridgeshire centre of the EUropean network of schizophrenia networks studying Gene-Environment Interactions [EU-GEI] (). Future research projects will focus on Swedish linked longitudinal datasets, the UK ALSPAC birth cohort and a Canadian cohort of young people (NLSCY). My past research has been predominantly conducted in the AESOP and East London First Episode Psychosis studies.Ìý Other research interests include Serious Mental Illness ´¥ÌýPsychosocial | EpidemiologyÌý´¥ Psychosis |
