From the Editor and Centre Lead’s desk Stephen Stansfeld Welcome to our winter edition of the Centre for Psychiatry Newsletter. There is a sense of palpable relief in the Medical School now that the Research Excellence Framework (REF) submission has gone in. The REF is important in determining our future funding. In this submission we have been paired with the Centre for Primary Care under UoA2 which comprises Public Health, Health Services and Primary Care. An important element of REF2014 has been the impact case studies that illustrate the social, economic, cultural or therapeutic impact of research carried out within Higher Education Institutions. This emphasis on the practical implications of the research is important and fits very well with our own research with an emphasis on outcomes that will change treatment and management of conditions in psychiatry. In line with this our Centre has taken a leading role in the successful Collaboration for Leadership and Applied Health Research and Care (CLAHRC) application from Barts Health that was undertaken with UCLPartners. The major theme CENTRE FOR PSYCHIATRY
of the NIHR-funded CLAHRC is to carry out research relevant to needs of patients and then support the translation of that research evidence into practice in the NHS. At the same time, evaluating the effectiveness of that translation. The CLAHRC proposal has a mental health theme centred around empowering mental health service users and families. The Centre for Psychiatry has two projects in this theme. The first is to develop and interactive e-portal (INCLUDE-ME!) being developed for young people with emotional and conduct problems who also have co-morbid physical illness building on existing work from University College London. Secondly, there is a project to develop, refine, manualise and evaluate procedures to ensure early involvement of carers of inpatients and provide them with psychoeducation led by Domenico Giacco and Stefan Priebe.
Bhui on becoming the new Editor of the British Journal of Psychiatry. This is an enormous tribute to Kam’s skill, scholarship and international reputation. The appointment brings honour to both Kam and to the Centre.
As you can see from the contents of the Newsletter we continue to develop in research, teaching and international influence. Many congratulations to Kamaldeep

NEWSLETTER WINTER 2014
In research we continue to report novel findings, I single out Jeremy Coid’s very interesting and unprecedented research on mental ill-health in gang members. Such research is relevant both to public health and more particularly to East London. We continue to develop our Masters courses with plans for launching a new prestigious degree in Mental Health and the Law and broaden the portfolio of the postgraduate education that we offer. I hope we will not have such a harsh winter as last year and that you all had a very enjoyable Christmas break and a happy new year.

Professor Kamaldeep Bhui named new Editor of British Journal of Psychiatry.
“I think the journal offers evidence for local government, policy makers, and international movements to improve outcomes and reduce inequalities. I would hope to make the journal more readable to all these audiences.”
Professor Bhui’s research at Queen Mary includes studies on unexplained medical complaints, chronic fatigue, dementia in South Asian populations, mental health act detentions and ethnic inequalities in pathways to care, racism, discrimination, cultural consultation, the impact of poor housing, violence and public mental health. His focus is on how the best quality care, safety and access to treatment can be achieved in services, and how to encourage resilience and wellbeing in the population. Following 10 years of service Professor Peter Tyrer of Imperial College London has stepped down from his position of Editor. In accepting the position Professor Bhui commented, “I’m delighted and privileged to be editor of the British Journal of Psychiatry, it is one of the leading scientific journals for publishing research on psychiatric disorders, CENTRE FOR PSYCHIATRY
psychiatric illness, mental health and wellbeing. The journal publishes cutting edge research on innovative and new treatments and mental health care in general.” Professor Bhui acknowledges that while treating patients has advanced significantly in the last 100 years, “there is still a long way to go”. He explains: “I feel a great responsibility to search out the best science that offers the most hope and positive recovery outcomes. At the same time the field of care for mental illness is rapidly changing with more being done in primary care and the community, and the influence of policy and global movements to protect dignity and rights are also having an impact.” Professor Bhui explains that good scientific writing should be imaginative and not dull or repetitive:
NEWSLETTER WINTER 2014
“Science should not be inaccessible so I hope authors will be encouraged to write more creatively and elegantly.” Under Professor Bhui’s leadership, the BJP will focus on publishing cutting edge papers that promise changes to practice and policy, and new research leading to better treatment outcomes. He also aims to encourage more research spanning the genetic, biological and social spheres, whilst paying attention to the humanities and arts. In addition to his role overseeing the BJP, Professor Bhui will also Chair the board overseeing the publication of Advances in Psychiatric Treatment, The Psychiatrist, International Psychiatry, several books, websites, and professional development courses for those in the field of psychiatry.

Mental Health and the Law: Global Perspectives Conference By Yasmin Khatib Psychiatrists, lawyers and experts in the field of mental health and law gathered at the historic Charterhouse Square Campus to attend the conference, Mental Health and the Law: Global Perspectives on 21st November. The conference included a selection of expert speakers, with human rights lawyer Professor Francois Hampson, beginning the morning’s presentations by speaking about international laws during and after armed conflict. Professor Hampson skilfully highlighted how the need for mental healthcare increases during and after armed conflict, yet there is a severe lack of resources to address these needs. Professor Kamaldeep Bhui then presented work from Dr. Angela McGilloway’s systematic review, which identified pathways and psychological processes associated with radicalisation and extremism amongst Muslims in Western societies. One of the aims of this work was to systematically understand common themes, constructs and processes of extremist behaviour. Professor Hampson and Professor Bhui concluded the morning’s presentations with a stimulating debate, drawing in many questions from conference delegates concerning legislation and possible ways forward
from global issues highlighted during their presentations. The afternoon’s session was opened by a presentation by Professor George Szmukler, from the Institute of Psychiatry. Professor Szmukler presented on mental health law, discrimination and the UN convention on the rights of persons with disabilities and provided an engaging discussion on differences in rights to refuse treatment between people with physical and mental illnesses. Dr. Jane Herlihy, the Executive Director from the Centre for the Study of Emotion and Law, then discussed the evidence investigating the assumption, common in asylum claim determinations, that traumatic memories are always consistently and accurately recalled. Finally, Sanchita Hosali, The Deputy Director of The British Institute of Human Rights rounded off the afternoon’s presentations by outlining the British Institute
of Human Rights innovative work to bring human rights within health and social care settings. Once the conference was drawn to a close, delegates gave a great deal of positive feedback from the day and many delegates vocalised their appreciation for the high level of expertise from the speakers. The conference also provided a platform to promote the new MSc in Mental Health and Law, which is jointly led by Professor Kamaldeep Bhui and Professor Richard Ashcroft, from The Department of Law at Queen Mary, University of London. The MSc is ideal for those working in clinical practice or law.

Researchers find link between aircraft noise and heart disease Two studies near London Heathrow and 89 North American airports show similar effects on health
Research: Aircraft noise and cardiovascular disease near Heathrow airport in London: small area study Research: Residential exposure to aircraft noise and hospital admissions for cardiovascular diseases: multi-airport retrospective study Editorial: Airport noise and cardiovascular disease Stansfeld, S. 2013, “Airport noise and cardiovascular disease”, BMJ, vol. 347, p. f5752.

Researchers find link between aircraft noise and heart disease and cardiovascular disease from 2001-05 in 12 London Boroughs and nine districts west of London. Levels of aircraft noise for each area were obtained from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). Factors that could have affected the results, such as age, sex, ethnicity, social deprivation, smoking, air pollution, and road traffic noise were also taken into account. The researchers found increased risks of stroke, coronary heart disease, and cardiovascular disease for both hospital admissions and mortality, especially among the 2% of the study population exposed to the highest levels of daytime and night time aircraft noise. Hospital admissions for coronary heart disease and cardiovascular disease were particularly affected by those of South Asian ethnicity. However, the authors were unable to distinguish between night time and daytime noise and say more research is needed to determine if night time noise that disrupts sleep may be a mechanism underlying these associations. They stress that further studies are needed to test whether aircraft noise causes these increases in risk or if these results can be explained by some other unmeasured (confounding) factors.
“How best to meet commercial aircraft capacity for London and other major cities is a matter of active debate,” they say. “However, policy decisions need to take account of potential health related concerns, including possible effects of environmental noise on cardiovascular health.” In the second study, researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health and Boston University School of Public Health analysed data for over six million older American Medicare recipients (aged 65 years or more) living near 89 US airports in 2009. Their aim was to investigate whether exposure to aircraft noise increases the risk of hospitalisation for cardiovascular diseases - and is the first study to analyse a very large population across multiple airports. After controlling for factors such as age, sex and race, the researchers found that an average 10 dB (decibel) increase in aircraft noise was associated with a 3.5% higher relative risk of hospital admission for cardiovascular disease. The association remained after further adjustment for socioeconomic status by zip code, air pollution and road density. The 23% of study participants exposed to the highest noise levels (more than 55
dB) contributed half of the attributable hospitalisations. Despite some study limitations, the researchers say their results “provide evidence of a statistically significant association between exposure to aircraft noise and cardiovascular health particularly at higher exposure levels.” And they suggest further research should investigate modifying factors at the airport or individual level. In an accompanying editorial, Professor Stephen Stansfeld says these studies “provide preliminary evidence that aircraft noise exposure is not just a cause of annoyance, sleep disturbance, and reduced quality of life but may also increase morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease.” He suggests that planners “need to take this into account when extending airports in heavily populated areas or planning new airports.” Further research is needed in this area, especially to examine the mental health effects of environmental noise. The mechanism underlying these cardiovascular effects is likely to be stress hypothesis in which prolonged exposure to noise leads to activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. In this context it is all the more surprising that the evidence for effects of noise on psychiatric disorder is patchy, only showing small effects on anxiety symptoms and medication use.

Gang members found to suffer unprecedented levels of psychiatric illness Around one per cent of 18 to 34-year-old men in Britain are gang members. The level rises to 8.6 per cent in the London borough of Hackney, where one in five black men report gang membership. Participants of the survey were split into three groups – gang members, violent men and nonviolent men. Gang members and violent men were significantly more likely to suffer from a mental disorder and access psychiatric services than nonviolent men. The exception was depression, which was significantly less common among gang members and violent men.
Young men who are gang members suffer unprecedented levels of psychiatric illness, placing a heavy burden on mental health services, according to new research led by Jeremy Coid who heads the Forensic Psychiatry Research Unit at the Trust. The study which surveyed 4,664 men aged 18 to 34 in Britain covered measures of psychiatric illness, violence and gang
membership. It is the first time research has looked into whether gang violence is associated with psychiatric illness, other than substance misuse. The survey sample was weighted to include significant numbers from areas with high gang membership, including Hackney, and areas with a higher than average population of ethnic minority residents.
The findings showed that, of the 108 gang members surveyed: • 85.8 per cent had an antisocial personality disorder; • Two-thirds were alcohol dependent; • 25.1 per cent screened positive for psychosis; • More than half (57.4 per cent) were drug dependent; • Around a third (34.2 per cent) had attempted suicide; and • More than half (58.9 per cent) had an anxiety disorder.

Gang members found to suffer unprecedented levels of psychiatric illness Professor Jeremy Coid, lead author of the paper said: “We have shown unprecedented levels of mental ill-health among this group, identifying a complex public health problem at the intersection of violence, substance misuse, and mental health problems among young men.
“It is probable that, among gang members, high levels of anxiety disorder and psychosis were explained by post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the most frequent psychiatric outcome of exposure to violence. However this could only partly explain the high prevalence of psychosis, which warrants further investigation.
Professor Coid added: “A potential limitation of the study is that survey participants were aged 18 to 34 and the average age for gang membership is 15. So gang members in this study should be considered ‘core’ gang members who have not stopped in early adulthood. We need further longitudinal studies to see if our findings are due to factors specific to this group.”
Ending gang violence will be beneficial to all, especially to gang members whose mental health is highly damaged by their violent lifestyles. The fear of victimization that gang members admit to health care professionals is an important motivator for leaving gangs, suggesting that health care professionals may have a key role in helping gang members leave the violence behind and move onto healthier, safer lives.
“With street gangs becoming increasingly evident in UK cities, membership should be routinely assessed in young men presenting to healthcare services with psychiatric illness in urban areas with high levels of gang activity.” Coid, J.

The project was developed following research suggested that the majority of the lay public hold stigmatizing attitudes and display discriminatory behaviours towards individuals with severe mental illness. However, there also exist a specific group of individuals whose attitudes and behaviours are distinctly different. Volunteers in mental health care willingly choose to spend their spare time, unpaid, in the company of patients with severe mental illness. Volunteers providing one-to-one care are typically part of ‘befriending’
schemes which aim to foster social relationships between volunteers and patients. This is achieved through social and recreational activities, such as visiting sites of interest, sharing meals, or playing sport. Patient social outcomes such as building patient confidence and widening the patient’s social network have been reported.
Laura Bui joined the Forensic Psychiatry Research Unit at QMUL in October 2013. As a postdoctoral researcher, she is examining risk assessment tools in prisoner populations as part of the NIHR-funded project, Improving Risk Management in Mental Health.
In 2012, she completed her Ph.D. thesis, Youth Offending in Japan: Context, Applicability, and Risk Factors, at the Institute of Criminology, University of Cambridge. In her thesis, she explored risk factors for delinquency and violence in Japanese youths and compared these factors to American youths. Her findings showed a similarity in relationships for delinquency and violence between cultures. However, differences in the prevalence of crime were attributed to the differences in the prevalence of risk factors.
