In this new Papers Podcast, Dr. Tom Cawthorne and Professor Roz Shafran discuss their JCPP Advances paper ‘Do single-case experimental designs lead to randomised controlled trials of cognitive behavioural therapy interventions for adolescent anxiety and related disorders recommended in the National Institute of Clinical Excellence guidelines? A systematic review’
Discussion points include: How the single-case experimental design (SCED) approach works and insight into the construct of the hierarchy of evidence. The evidence that the SCED design can be a helpful approach and can provide high-quality research evidence. How could using SCEDs more effectively lead to future NICE guidelines better representing the adolescent population?

Open Access paper from JCPP
A large body of work has reported a link between prenatal exposure to infection and increased psychiatric risk in offspring. However, studies to date have focused primarily on exposure to severe prenatal infections and/or individual psychiatric diagnoses in clinical samples, typically measured at single time points, and without accounting for important genetic and environmental confounders. In this study, we investigated whether exposure to common infections during pregnancy is prospectively associated with repeatedly assessed child psychiatric symptoms in a large population-based study.
