FOREWORD

From Head of School, School of Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences: Professor Sean Hood

The Neuropsychiatric Epidemiology Research Unit is superbly led by Professor Vera Morgan, a psychiatric epidemiologist with a special interest in the study of schizophrenia and related psychiatric disorders. Under her leadership the Unit has flourished in terms of its success nationally and internationally and its ability to secure highly competitive research funding, in particular from the National Health and Medical Research Council. Indeed, it was under the leadership of Professor Morgan that the NERU Unit led the

National Study of High Impact Psychosis (SHIP), using their extensive experience of record-linked population health, social services and criminological databases and this study is continuing to have a national and international impact. The profile and productivity of the members of this Unit is attested to by their significant publication record, convening of national conferences, leadership in esteemed national and international professional bodies and their competitive grant success. In addition, the Unit’s relationship with North Metropolitan Area Mental Health Service, particularly Professor Morgan, in the provision of research-informed care to patients with psychotic disorders is an exemplar of successful integration with the complex Western Australian Health Service in a time of significant health service delivery reform.

Professor Sean HoodHead of School: School of Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences

From the Head, Neuropsychiatric Epidemiology Research Unit: Winthrop Professor Vera Morgan

The objective of the Neuropsychiatric Epidemiology Research Unit (NERU) is to further understanding of aetiology, course and outcome for people with psychotic disorders. To this end, NERU had a very successful year in 2014, reflecting the intellectual input, dedication and enthusiasm of its staff.


We were very fortunate, in view of a dwindling pool of funding, to obtain a new NHMRC project grant to support our program of work on risk factor epidemiology in psychotic illness.

Work continued on our ongoing NHMRC project grant, in which we are following up the physical health of Western Australian participants from the National and State Survey of High Impact Psychosis (SHIP). This grant involves collaboration with UWA School of Medicine, and north and south metropolitan Perth mental health services.

We extended our national and international presence.


Some highlights:o Professor Mary Cannon, Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, and Professor John

McGrath, University of Queensland, joined me as associate investigators on the newly awarded grant.

o We continued our ongoing collaboration with Professors Tom McNeil and Jonas Björk (Lund University, Sweden) and Professor Kathryn Abel (University of Manchester).

o Maxine Croft was awarded a $75,000 Near Miss grant for her NHMRC application on healthy pregnancy outcomes for mothers with severe mental illness needing psychotropic medications during pregnancy. She is currently establishing a network of State and National collaborators for an NHMRC Partnership application.

o Anna Waterreus joined an international collaboration investigating the measurement of physical activity in people with severe mental illness. Her first meeting was in Padua in April 2014.

o Sonal Shah was invited to give an oral presentation on maternal severe mental illness and infant mortality at the Schizophrenia International Conference in Florence in April 2014.

o Giulietta Valuri and Patsy Di Prinzio were invited to present papers (maternal psychotic illness and risk of criminal offending by their children; intellectual disability in offspring of mothers with psychotic disorders) in a symposium on advancing psychiatric research via interagency linkage of population records. This was at the national annual meeting of the Society for Mental Health Research in Adelaide in December 2014. At the same conference, I gave a keynote address on our program of record-linkage research within NERU investigating environmental and familial risk factors for psychotic illness and other neuropsychiatric outcomes.

o The Survey of High Impact Psychosis (SHIP), a national collaboration, continues to produce high quality publications. At the end of 2014, we had 38 papers in press or in print. Of note, the overview paper in the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry, “People living with psychotic illness in 2010. The second Australian national survey of psychosis”, which was the first paper from the SHIP collaboration, was the third most cited article in journal, and was recognized by Thomson Reuters as a Highly Cited Paper.

o I had the special honour of being invited to give the 80th Annual Beattie Smith Lecture at The University of Melbourne in May 2014 and was awarded the Beattie Smith medal. The topic I selected was: “A whole-person perspective on recovery for people with psychotic illness. Data from the Australian national psychosis survey on physical health, mental health, cognitive function and social participation”.

I am very fortunate in the staff of the Neuropsychiatric Epidemiology Research Unit. In addition to being highly competent, experienced and conscientious researchers, their thoughtfulness towards one another and their delightful sense of humour makes ours a wonderful and supportive work environment, as well as an academically productive one.

NEUROPSYCHIATRIC EPIDEMIOLOGY RESEARCH UNIT

NEUROPSYCHIATRIC EPIDEMIOLOGY RESEARCH UNIT

The Neuropsychiatric Epidemiology Research Unit is recognised for its expertise in psychiatric epidemiology. The Unit takes a cross-disciplinary approach to the study of neuropsychiatric disorders, especially schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, that melds epidemiological, psychiatric, criminological and sociological perspectives on aetiology, course and outcome for people burdened with these disorders to help unravel their complex aetiology.

OUR RESEARCH TEAM

The Unit is made up of committed researchers from a variety of disciplines, including experts in epidemiological methods, biostatistics, record linkage, clinical assessment, diagnostic classification, criminology, and various aspects of physical health morbidity e.g. reproductive pathology, obstetric complications, mortality statistics, cardiometabolic disorders. The breadth of scientific and clinical expertise, professional skills and experience that these staff bring to the Unit are its greatest assets. The Unit has a long history of success in attracting national, international and government funding to support its program of research.

OUR RESEARCH PROGRAM

One arm of our research relies on linkage of the Western Australian psychiatric case register to an extensive network of other electronic State health and social services registers.

Since 1995, most of this work has focused on the relationship between environmental risk factors and genetic liability for schizophrenia and other neuropsychiatric outcomes including, but not limited to, birth defects, intellectual disability, pervasive developmental disorders, epilepsy, psychiatric illness and psychotic illness. Topics include:

o Impact of social adversity on the developmental trajectory to mental illness

o Life course trajectories and neuropsychiatric outcomes in an e-cohort of high risk children of mothers with psychosis

o Pregnancy, delivery, and neonatal complications in a population cohort of women with schizophrenia and major affective disorders

o Intellectual disability comorbid with schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders

o Are influenza and season of birth environmental risk factors for schizophrenia?

Several other projects also rely on the use of linked register data. o The association between schizophrenia and criminal offendingo Evaluation of the impact of Australian perinatal mental health reforms on

service utilisation and related cost-effectiveness

The second arm of our research is involved in clinical and large-scale surveys of the prevalence of psychotic illness in Australia, and the characteristics of those affected.

The Unit has been responsible for leading Australia’s two national surveys of psychotic illness, in 1997-98 and in 2010. National and State psychosis survey participants are now being followed up longitudinally, both face-to-face and through record-linkage to their health records. The four main projects that we have undertaken are:

o Overcoming barriers to improved physical health in people with severe mental illness (SHIP WAve 2): 2013-2016

o The 2012 North Metro Survey of High Impact Psychosis (North Metro SHIP)o The 2010 Australian National Survey of High Impact Psychosis (SHIP)o The 1997-98 Low Prevalence (Psychotic) Disorders Study (LPDS)


METHODOLOGIES and APPROACHES

Record linkage across population-based registers including multigenerational approach

The Neuropsychiatric Epidemiology Research Unit (NERU) has extensive experience in the use of multigenerational cross-linked data from the Western Australian psychiatric case register, State health (e.g. morbidity, birth defects, midwives, mortality) and other registers (e.g. criminal; intellectual disability; cerebral palsy; cancer; child protection and education) to study prevalence, incidence, aetiology and risk factors.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20870781http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20592426

The Unit has an excellent infrastructure, including information technology and physical infrastructure, to support its work. NERU staff have developed and maintain a complex data model of 8 million records for over 1 million individuals.

Risk factor epidemiologyRecord linkage methodology has been the basis of the epidemiological study of risk factors for schizophrenia and other psychosis. These have included: obstetric complications; influenza; and season of birth.


Largescale epidemiological surveys The Neuropsychiatric Epidemiology Research Unit is experienced in the design, instrument development and coordination of large national multisite surveys and the Unit includes highly skilled research staff with clinical mental health expertise. It has had responsibility for the conduct of Australia’s two national psychosis surveys: in 1997-98, the first national survey of psychosis, the Low Prevalence (Psychotic) Disorders Study and, in 2010, the second national Survey of High Impact Psychosis (SHIP). In 2012, it undertook a SHIP extension study in north metropolitan Perth, the North Metro Survey of High Impact Psychosis (North Metro SHIP).

INSTRUMENT DEVELOPMENT

Diagnostic Interview for Psychosis – Diagnostic module (DIPpc-DM 1.0) The Diagnostic Module of the Diagnostic Interview for Psychoses (DIP-DM) is a semi-structured interview consisting of the 97 items of the Operational Criteria for Psychosis (OPCRIT). The DIP_DM uses probes and differential definitions derived and adapted from the WHO Schedules for Clinical Assessment in Neuropsychiatry (SCAN). A computer algorithm generates diagnoses using the underlying Operational Criteria for Psychosis (OPCRIT) algorithm. The development, reliability and applications of the DIP have been published. The DIP-DM is being used in New Zealand, UK, US and, in translation, in Indonesian, Italy, Spain, France, Greece, Norway, Mongolia, Russia and Bulgaria. A self-executing PC version of the software was developed and distributed in 2013.


Diagnostic Interview for Psychosis (full versions: LPDS* and SHIP*): These include all modules of the nationals surveys (LPDS*—3 modules; SHIP*—33 modules).

Psychosis ScreenerThe Psychosis Screener was developed for LPDS* 1997-98 and further modified for SHIP* 2010. It is a brief instrument (one page) covering 8 items and takes 1-2 minutes to complete. There are patient and keyworker versions.* LPDS: Low Prevalence (Psychotic) Disorders Study; SHIP: Survey of High Impact Psychosis

Brief Cognitive Assessment Tool As part of SHIP* 2010, a need was identified for a Brief Cognitive Assessment Tool (pen-and-paper) that could be used in a number of research settings. In 2009, the assessment tool was completed and psychometric properties were examined.

McNeil-Sjöström Scale for Obstetric ComplicationsThe McNeil-Sjöström Scale operationalises the scoring of hundreds of obstetric complications and their treatment, ranging from common to rare. The scale is underpinned by both biological and aetiological considerations and is designed to take a better account of the amount, timing and severity of obstetric complications. It produces separate summated scores for three time periods (pregnancy; labour and delivery; neonatal) as well as producing an overall score. We have written a computer algorithm to automate the scoring of obstetric complications recorded on the electronic Midwives Database.Measures of longitudinal maternal morbidity: Algorithms have been written using all longitudinal maternal health data on the Midwives Database to produce a full estimate of maternal morbidity at the time of childbirth.

Measures of adversityIndicators of exposure to adverse life events and adverse social, familial and physical environments are being systematically extracted from the linked electronic records. These indicators will be combined in clinically and mathematically meaningful ways that will allow them to be used as predictors of outcome in our risk factor research.

Simple Physical Activity Questionnaire (SIMPAQ)Anna Waterreus is collaborating with an international network to develop and validate a physical activity questionnaire appropriate for use with people with severe mental illness.




Children’s ChecklistChildren’s Checklist was developed by the Unit specifically for the collection of children’s data on substance misuse, psychotropic medication use, behavioural problems, neuro-cognitive data and psychopathology not recorded in the Diagnostic Interview for Psychosis.

Environmental and familial risk factors for psychotic illness and other neuropsychiatric outcomes

V Morgan, G Valuri, M Croft, S Shah, P Di Prinzio, J Griffith, T Major, T McNeil, J Björk, F Morgan, K Abel, A Jablensky

Our aim is to integrate genetic and risk factor epidemiology under a developmental perspective in order to examine reproductive pathology in women with severe mental illness and follow-up proximal and distal developmental and neuropsychiatric sequelae in their children. Children at increased familial risk for severe mental illness are compared with children at no increased familial risk on a wide range of developmental indices and environmental risk factors, including obstetric events, with a view to elucidating the intergenerational transmission of both vulnerability and resilience to adverse neuropsychiatric outcomes. These outcomes include, among others, birth defects, intellectual disability, pervasive developmental disorders, epilepsy, psychiatric illness and psychotic illness. We have three overarching hypotheses:1. Neuropsychiatric disorders including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, autism

spectrum disorder, epilepsy and intellectual disability, as well as certain rare congenital anomalies, will tend to cluster in families.

2. Children of mothers with severe mental illness will be at increased risk of a spectrum of such outcomes.

3. Obstetric complications and other environmental exposures will contribute to the offspring outcomes, either independently or in interaction with the parentally transmitted genetic risk.

The figure below summarises pictorially the study design.

Environmental and familial risk factors for psychotic illness and other neuropsychiatric outcomes: Study Design


This is a whole population record linkage study, using linkage across psychiatric, physical morbidity, mortality and other administrative registers in WA to follow up a large cohort of 467,945 children born between 1980 and 2001 to 246,874 mothers. This includes 15,486 births to 7,508 mothers with a psychotic illness. The study design is described in full in:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20870781Environmental and familial risk factors for psychotic illness

and other neuropsychiatric outcomes: Register data collection

Currently, we are examining the following outcomes: maternal reproductive morbidity and early neonatal morbidity (lead author: M

Croft) stillbirths, perinatal and childhood mortality (lead author: S Shah) early neuropsychiatric outcomes including birth defects, intellectual disability

and rare syndromes (lead author: P Di Prinzio) educational outcomes (lead author: A Lin) child victimisation (lead author: S Shah) criminal offending (lead author: G Valuri)We are in the final phase of this project. We have started to explore the role of adversity on risk of developing a psychotic illness, and are in the process of constructing an adversity scale. Once completed, we will be able to address the hypotheses (see above) for our flagship paper examining familial and environmental risks for psychotic illness in these high risk children of mothers with schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. Work already published using a smaller cohort includes: Pregnancy, Delivery, and Neonatal Complications in a Population Cohort of

Women with Schizophrenia and Major Affective Disordershttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22241931

Intellectual disability comorbid with schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15625205TRANSLATIONFindings of adverse obstetric outcomes for the offspring of mothers with psychotic disorders resulted, in collaboration with the Clinical Applications Unit, in the





development of a care coordination package, leading to implementation of a State care-coordination program for pregnant women with severe mental illness, the first of its kind in Australia. To disseminate findings widely among clinicians, they were published in Directions in Psychiatry ("Exemplary Status" by Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education).


Intellectual disability and psychotic illness

P Di Prinzio, V Morgan, Jonas Björk, T McNeil, A Jablensky

We have a series of studies that have reported on the prevalence of intellectual disability in people with schizophrenia and explored the nature of the association between psychotic disorders and intellectual disability. This work is ongoing. Publications to date include:

Intellectual disability comorbid with schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15625205 Epidemiology of intellectual disability co-occurring with schizophrenia and

other psychiatric illness: population-based study: The epidemiology of intellectual disability co-occurring with schizophrenia and other psychiatric illness

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/ 18978313

TRANSLATIONThese data added to accumulating evidence of an association between pervasive cognitive deficits and schizophrenia, and support findings of an excess of multiply-affected families. They highlight the extent to which comorbidity is underestimated due to the administrative divide between mental health and intellectual disability services, leading to poor access to much-needed services. The data have been used by the Department of Health to develop policy for people with these special needs.

Other environmental risk factors for schizophrenia: Influenza and season of birth

V Morgan, D Castle, A Jablensky

In addition to obstetric complications, a number of studies have explored the association between other environmental exposures and schizophrenia. Publications to date include:

The Australian perinatal mental health reforms: using population data to evaluate their impact on service utilisation and related cost-effectiveness

M-P Austin, E Sullivan, N Highet, V Morgan, C Mihalopoulos, M Croft, S Vukovich in partnership with beyondblue.

This NHMRC Partnership grant involves researchers from University of New South Wales, University of Western Australia and Deakin University in partnership with beyondblue. It uses population health data to examine the impact of National Perinatal Depression Initiative reforms on maternal health outcomes, service utilisation and the likely cost-effectiveness of these reforms. It employs four key methodologies: (i) data linkage; (ii) generation of perinatal-specific Medicare Benefits Schedule summary data; (iii) economic and policy analyses; and (iv) key stakeholder consultations in a consideration of the further implementation and evaluation of the National Perinatal Depression Initiative.

TRANSLATION







This study will fill a significant gap in the evidence-base on how key Australian perinatal mental health initiatives have met their goal of increasing service utilisation at this critical time for mother, infant and family. It has the potential to greatly advance the development and eventual inclusion of key mental health-related data elements in the Perinatal National Minimum Dataset and State-based Midwives/Perinatal data collections.


Mental illness and the law

V Morgan, F Morgan, G Valuri, S Shah, A Ferrante, D Castle, A Jablensky

Criminal offendingWe have undertaken whole-population studies of: The prevalence and patterns of criminal offending in schizophrenia and other

psychiatric disorders; and Area of residence and the impact of social disorganisation and urbanicity on

offending by people with schizophrenia.

The first study indicated that the vast majority (89%) of offenders arrested between 1986 and 1996 did not have a mental illness. A comorbid substance abuse disorder significantly increased the risk of a violent offence for people with schizophrenia and, for the majority of offenders with a mental illness, their first arrest preceded their first contact with mental health services. A peak in the pattern of arrests in 1991-1993 for people with schizophrenia coincided with a period when community mental health services were poorly resourced to meet demands created by deinstitutionalisation of patients from psychiatric institutions. See paper at:


The second study showed that the same area-level characteristics that generate high arrest rates for the population as a whole also generate high arrest rates for people with schizophrenia. These include: disadvantage, inequality, ethnic homogeneity and residential mobility. There is no evidence of a multiplier effect. However, compared to the general population, individuals with schizophrenia are more likely to be exposed to social disadvantage and other neighbourhood-level risk factors that predict offending in non-psychotic populations. See paper at:

http://www.aic.gov.au/documents/C/0/8/%7BC0878787-6326-44B4-9F32-71F0B8A2A596%7Dtandi365.pdf

TRANSLATIONThese findings have important implications for policy and program development in both criminal justice and mental health. They suggest that geographic areas characterised by high levels of social disorganisation require more investment in crime prevention, mental-health services and criminal justice responses.

Adult victimisationThe corollary of perpetrating criminal acts is being a victim of criminal behaviour. In a paper arising from the 2010 Australian National Survey of High Impact Psychosis (under review), we examined rates adult victimisation of people with psychotic illness. We found 39% of the survey sample had been victimised. Assault victimisation was high and, at 17%, was five times the rate found in the general community.

TRANSLATIONVictimisation impacts on psychopathology, course of illness and quality of life. However, neither childhood nor adult victimisation, nor their sequelae, especially post-traumatic stress disorder, are well recognised in clinical practice, leading to poor treatment of those affected. Therapies to improve social cognition may help those with psychotic illness recognise and manage threatening situations and adopt self-protective behaviours in order to reduce their risk of victimisation.

RESEARCH PROJECTS: Survey and clinical stream

The 2010 Australian National Survey of High Impact Psychosis (SHIP)

V Morgan, A Jablensky, A Waterreus, J Griffith, P Di Prinzio, S Shah

The aims of this survey were (i) to describe the prevalence and profile of psychosis in Australia and (ii) to identify factors associated with good outcomes in psychosis that are amenable to change and critical to recovery with the intention of informing policy development and service planning. The survey was an initiative of psychosis researchers and clinicians across Australia in partnership with the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing. The Survey was led by staff in the Neuropsychiatric Epidemiology Research Unit including V Morgan (National Project Director), A Jablensky (Chief Scientific Advisor), A Waterreus (National Coordinator), J Griffith (WA Site Coordinator).

SHIP took place at seven sites in five states across Australia: NSW, QLD, SA, VIC and WA. It included questions about: symptoms, utilisation of mental health and other services; perceived need; education; cognition; social participation (work and skill development; activities of daily living; family responsibilities; other social engagement and community integration); living circumstances; support networks; physical well-being (including a physical health assessment; physical activity; nutrition; risk factors for metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease; smoking); and drug and alcohol use.

SHIP used a two-phase sampling design. Phase 1 screening for psychosis took place in the census month which was March 2010. In Phase 2, 1825 individuals aged 18-64 years were randomly selected, from those screen-positive for psychosis, and interviewed and assessed.

Survey of High Impact Psychosis: Study Design

Among other findings, SHIP data demonstrated the very poor physical health of people with a psychotic disorder:


Survey of High Impact Psychosis: Findings on Physical Health of Participants with Psychotic Illness

Papers from this study are available at:http://www.psychiatry.uwa.edu.au/research/neru/survey/researchers

Lead investigators of the SHIP Study Group that developed the survey protocol and continue to oversee the management and analysis of the survey data include: V Morgan (convenor), A Jablensky, A Waterreus, V Carr, D Castle, M Cohen, C Galletly, C Harvey, A Mackinnon, P McGorry, J McGrath, P Morgan, A Neil

TRANSLATIONThe survey was unique in that it included data items not previously assessed contemporaneously and in depth in a large, unbiased sample. These included cognitive tests, a physical health assessment with fasting blood tests, detailed socio-demographic data, and data on the NGO sector. To date, there have been 40 publications. Data are being used by government bodies and NGOs to inform policy development, resource distribution and service planning.

North Metro Survey of High Impact Psychosis (North Metro SHIP)

V Morgan, A Waterreus, J Griffith, A Jablensky, P Di Prinzio, S Shah

This extension of the national SHIP survey, in WA North Metropolitan Area Health Services Mental Health, was funded by the Mental Health Commission and the Western Australian Department of Health. The survey census month was March 2012 with interviews taking place from April 2012 to April 2013. A cost analysis using the data collection has been completed.

TRANSLATIONThis survey provided site-specific data to North Metropolitan Area Health Services Mental Health, including costs, which are currently being used to identify gaps in service planning and areas for policy development. Translation is through the North Metro SHIP Committee.


Survey of High Impact Psychosis WAve 2 (SHIP WAve 2)

V Morgan, A Jablensky, G Watts, J Badcock, K Cox, N Stefanis, A Waterreus, J Griffith, P Di Prinzio, S Shah

This NHMRC-funded study builds on a rare opportunity to collect longitudinal data on a population-based sample of people with psychotic illness, first assessed comprehensively between 2010 and 2013. Its objective is to fill the knowledge gap on cardiometabolic disease risk modification in people with psychotic illness. To achieve this, its aims are to:1. Determine factors associated with improvement and deterioration in

cardiometabolic profiles in people with psychotic illness;2. Examine impediments to the uptake of interventions for cardiometabolic

disorders by people with psychotic illness; and3. Work with services towards the development of a clinical service model for the

implementation of targeted interventions within mental health services.The study is following up, from 2013 to 2016, over 600 Western Australians with psychosis, thoroughly assessed in south metropolitan Perth as part of the 2010 National Survey of High Impact Psychosis (South Metro SHIP) and in 2012 in north metropolitan Perth in a SHIP expansion survey (North Metro SHIP). Follow up includes a face-to-face interview and a physical health assessment, augmented with data from health and prescribing registers

TRANSLATIONThis observational study will provide unique information from an unbiased cohort followed up over two time points. The natural experimental design offers advantages over a clinical trial by capturing the range of people with psychosis and assessing behaviour in real world individual and service contexts. As such, it has a very high utility value for mental health service planning.

The 1997-98 Study of Low Prevalence (Psychotic) Disorders (LPDS)

A Jablensky, V Morgan, A Waterreus, J Griffith

This was Australia's first national survey of psychosis. In addition to generating point prevalence data for psychotic disorders in urban areas in Australia for the first time, the study was unique in ascertaining symptom profiles, rates of functional impairments and disability, indices of quality of life, substance use comorbidity, service utilisation patterns, and side effects of medication. Subsequent economic analyses provided estimates of direct and indirect costs associated with psychotic disorders. Of note, this survey included marginalised people not in contact with treatment services in its sampling. Key papers and reports from this study are available at:

http://www.psychiatry.uwa.edu.au/research/neru/survey/researchers/the-1997-98-study-of-low-prevalence-psychotic-disorders

Lead investigators of the LPDS Study Group that developed the survey protocol and oversaw the collection and analysis of the survey data included: A Jablensky (convenor), J McGrath, H Herrman, D Castle, O Gureje, M Evans, V Carr, V Morgan, A Korten, C Harvey, A Waterreus

TRANSLATIONFor the first time, LPDS estimated the prevalence and cost of psychotic illness in Australia, and established nationally representative benchmark data on characteristics of those affected. A “best selling” product, still in high demand, was the Diagnostic Interview for Psychosis, developed by the WA group.

DATA ANALYST (SHIP SURVEY) / CLINICAL RESEARCH PSYCHOLOGIST: Neuropsychiatric Epidemiology Research Unit+61 8 9224 [email protected]

Dr Shah's main interest and research focus is in the identification of adverse risk factors associated with schizophrenia. Within the Pathways project, her aim is to investigate outcomes for offspring of mothers with schizophrenia using both register data and clinical casenotes. She has developed an effective method for the manual mapping of affected children's life histories using register and clinical casenotes data. She also plays a key role in management and analysis of data for the national Survey of High Impact Psychosis (SHIP), North Metro SHIP and SHIP Wave2. Prior to her work in NERU, Sonal was involved in a large study (as part of her PhD project) on hormonal and non hormonal factors associated with cognitive function. An important and novel finding was the association between circulating androgen levels and cognitive function. She was awarded the AMS award for the most meritorious contribution to the field of menopause in 2006 and best overall presentation in 2001.
