Let’s stop asking why women aren’t having children and ask, for once: why aren’t men? | Rhiannon Lucy Coslett On the whole, men I’ve spoken to – like women – want children. But a host of issues, from housing to mental health, is getting in the way, says Guardian columnist Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett

Great to speak to @theguardian.com's Rhiannon Cosslett about men, children, and fertility

tl;dr: I think any notion of a fertility 'crisis' is a load of inflammatory, unscientific nonsense 1/3

Our survey of Green party members suggests Zack Polanski has the mandate to take his party in a more radical direction The new leader wants to be radical and a profile of his members suggests they will follow him.

Grassroots members of the @greenparty.org.uk are overwhelmingly left-wing, ultra-liberal, very middle class people - and @zackpolanski.bsky.social's got all the qualities they like, in spades.

10,000 steps myth - do we really need to stick to recommended daily doses? As a study casts doubt on the daily steps maxim, we take a look at some other health benchmarks we’re often told to strive for.

New research shows that 10,000 steps a day may not be as vital as we thought - but when it comes to sleep, the numbers do really matter.

Prof Ama Johal spoke to BBC News on why 7–9 hours a night isn’t just a guideline, but essential for long-term health.

Effects of a brief digital problem-solving intervention on depression and anxiety symptoms in Ukrainian children and adolescents displaced by war: a crossover, randomised controlled trial Our data suggest that a brief problem-solving DMHI, efficiently implemented in schools, could reduce internalising symptoms in refugee Ukrainian youths. After context-specific adaptations, DMHIs could...

Senior author Professor Dennis Ougrin from the Youth Resilience Research Unit @qmul-wiph.bsky.social said: "At a time when millions of displaced young people remain underserved, this research suggests a promising step toward meeting their urgent mental health needs - one mobile device at a time.”

Professor JR Weisz from Harvard University said: "Children displaced by conflict are at elevated risk of long-term psychological harm, but access to mental health services is often limited or non-existent. In our trial we found the effects of our 30-minute intervention lasted for four months."

The results, published today in The Lancet Primary Care, found that this brief mental health intervention reduced symptoms of depression and anxiety in displaced young people at one month and four months after the 30-minute intervention.

They created a Ukrainian-language version of an evidence-based digital mental health intervention called Project SOLVE. Delivered in schools through mobile devices, it teaches problem solving by providing strategies for solving everyday problems, such as school stress and interpersonal conflict.

An international group of researchers, led by Professor JR Weisz from @harvard.edu and colleagues including senior author Professor Dennis Ougrin from @qmul.bsky.social, tested a digital mental health intervention with 709 Ukrainian students, aged 10-18, who had been displaced to Poland.
