the author then explained that when the results were analysed they weren't consistent with what was known about who/which demographic group actually gets the most discrimination... SO the author is picking up on the fact that the affluent young and women are the ones who are most able to 'call...

In the middle of para 2 of 1. objectives of the study, background-theoretical contextualization, and analytical model: and just before this:

I've often thought that the sex difference is a big assumption that we do really need to test before we use it as a clue to the level of using it to point to where to look for the mechanisms or checking 'fit' of any models. due to all sorts of things that might be little to do with the pwme...

That is so frustrating. I'm trying to work out whether my frustration is clouding this at all but to me it feels like how on earth can they get away with that twisting of the interpretation into a win-win for them and no-win for patient. They seem determined that whatever result happened they...

I've come across 'the international Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Study Group' which I'd never heard of before but came up for at least I. Hickie, curious if others know much about it as don't want to assume more from a quick google than it actually is, could that be a possible link, or reason...

Gosh I was googling for something else and just came across this paper (hence looking up this thread on s4me to check it was on here) In hindsight now looking back nearly 3yrs to 2021. This was published less than a month after the new guidelines were finally released. I'm not sure of the...

this is a sidenote but I've looked up Chalder to see where she was at this point in time 1999 career-wise (she'd had her name on a few publications many years before), and was surprised by this on MEpedia (Trudie Chalder - MEpedia (me-pedia.org) ) : From 2012 to 2014 Chalder was president of...

I think something to note is actually getting into the journal 'Psychological Medicine' - I would be interested if there is anyone on the forum who has a sense of how 'stringent' that was back then vs eg getting in with whatever conclusions vs method to a more psychosomatic (or other)...

I clicked on the first author for this article in order to see who Van Der Linden was (I assume it was Chalder and was curious when she was qualifying in academia and if these were her 'early days' papers, but she is second on the list): Search (cambridge.org) all the papers listed are from an...

I have to always remind myself the b in BACME is supposedly ‘British’ because I always assume it’s ‘behaviourist’ there’s no behavioural cajoling out of the energy envelope problem BUT No one would/should expect turkeys to vote for xmas That's why they get so puzzled when we think they will...

It was put with these people 'to develop' and 'deliver' back then because at the time clearly the aim was to develop a psychosomatic guideline I know we get lots of arguments about can’t say ‘definitely biomed’ etc but the guideline at least debunked that behavioural worked and after decades...

Another weird flaw of the pain catastrophising ‘move’ is that in its proper definition some who has the proper catastrophising (subset of depression and very different and horrible bound thinking if you see it) they will find the Beck scale or measure of it the most accurate. so you can’t...

That last one really helps I don’t get how it didn’t move forward and we are where we are because people were looking for and aware of the issue of methods that only did correlation with no attempt at understanding causation of that - and from what I’ve seen Rona miss Morris is one of the...

Great you are doing this. It’s a yes, yes to this important persistent problem being flagged. And for me/cfs never more important as we will have to push post guideline for the inaccurate stuff to get properly repaired - like new versions calibrating any of these mental health concepts are...

:rofl:

I like the idea of inputting into/helping with advice on the actual method for making sure input ‘heard’ is properly representative and qualified if it’s along the lines of the PPI discussion on other forum. agree with caution in general and I’d hope they’d understand

Creepy they are right wth another one for the journos looking for scandals - although I think it would be better with this to connect it with the ‘functional’ initiatives/sell ‘in general’ too because the more you think of realise it’s not ‘just’ x symptoms the less justifiable and more...

To be fair that PROMS survey is so long that if they had to print it off a few times for proof checking and spellcheck it would cost a fortune in ink and paper ?

Or if you do see then two years on tell yourself ‘bless ‘em they must have metaphorically fallen off the wagon and relapsed’ and in their mind they think mental health without their positive input so they can pity the person and said person is too exhausted to enforce that long dotted line from...

Agree - I think , and I don’t know what it is (not just a campaign ) , getting it understood that the methodology issues underlying these areas are the big issue is key and using that term isn’t sexy or a good sell but I mean they don’t seem to get they are exactly like hairdressers who say do...
