Congratulations to Rebecca North, who recently published a paper in PLoS ONE entitled “Early Neurodevelopment and Self-Reported Adolescent Symptoms of Depression and Anxiety in a National Canadian Cohort Study”. This study, which was the focus of Rebecca’s MSc research, showed that Canadian children who displayed delayed developmental milestones in early childhood are more likely to experience higher levels of depressive and anxious symptoms as adolescents.
Congratulations to APEAL M.Sc. student Marc-André Bélair who received a Leadership Award from the University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine on December 12, 2012 for his achievements in being a student leader.
The APEAL Lab M
ovember team shaved four longstanding beards to support men’s health and raised more than $2,000 in the process. Who knew a mustache could be such an effective fundraising tool?
Congratulations to Seanna McMartin, whose first-author paper entitled “Diet quality and mental health in subsequent years among Canadian youth” appeared in the December issue of Public Health Nutrition. Seanna’s paper showed that children who had greater variety in their diet were less likely to be diagnosed with an internalizing disorder.
Congratulations to Maeve Wickham and Yasmin Garad, who graduated two weeks ago with M.Sc. in Epidemiology degrees from the University of Alberta School of Public Health.
