On: Childhood Loneliness Linked to Later Psychosis

[cyberbunga]

> In an observational, case-control study, researchers assessed loneliness in children with the question “Have you ever felt lonely for more than 6 months before the age of 12”

Doesn't sound like they "assessed loneliness in children". I thought this would be one of those longitudinal studies where subjects are given a survey while young and then the researchers come back to check on them later in life.

Also, no links to any version of the paper. What a pain.

Yeh, very weak test of loneliness. Small sample size as well.
