Welcome to the November 2020 issue of The Bridge. The research featured in this issue covers a wide range of topics relevant to our work with young people, including neurodevelopmental, emotional, and behavioural disorders, their comorbidity, and their links with functioning and quality of life. To reveal new insights about these topics, the studies used uniquely informative designs, such as longitudinal twin designs, and sophisticated analytical techniques, such as machine learning. I hope you enjoy reading about this excellent research.

Read about Faith Orchard and colleagues’ study in this issue of The Bridge in the article titled ‘Insufficient sleep during adolescence might pose a risk for later depression and anxiety’.
