Pioneering Ethics in a Longitudinal Study
The Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), also known as "Children of the 90s," is an unprecedented birth cohort study that, uniquely, enrolled participants in utero and obtained genetic material from a geographic population. This book describes the early work of the committee, from establishing the core ethical principles necessary to protect participants to the evolution of policies concerning confidentiality and anonymity, consent, non-intervention, disclosure of individual results, data access, and security. The book will be of interest to those involved in other cohort studies who want to understand the evolution of ethical policies as ALSPAC developed.
Choice or Chance
How Much Do You Believe That What Happens to You Is the Result of Your Own Actions—or Do Circumstances Beyond Your Control Largely Determine Your Fate? Locus of Control (LOC) is a phrase used by psychologists to describe a widely effective way of assessing an individual’s potential for success—personal, social, and financial. LOC measures how much you believe what happens to you is the result of your own actions or, conversely, of forces and circumstances beyond your control. People who accept that they are largely in control of their lives tend to do better than those who feel that fate or external factors rule what they do, especially in novel and difficult situations. This book expl...
The Better Brain
The surprisingly dramatic role of nutrition in our mental health, and how diet and micronutrients can be used to help treat and prevent anxiety, depression, ADHD and other mental health disorders. 'The Better Brain is the first book that will tell you both how and why nutrients can be used to treat mental-health issues. We are scientists who've uncovered that many symptoms of anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD and more are caused by suboptimal nutrition. We've been doing research and clinical studies on this crucial topic for decades, yet we have never published our findings for a general audience before. Following our lectures and Julia's TEDx Talk, we get asked questions all the time about ou...
