2.5, this effect differed by ethnicity, with White British and Black Caribbean adolescents experiencing an increase in conduct problems with age.
The study published recently in Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology, by authors from King’s, Imperial College London, University College London, and Leeds Beckett university, explored for the first time in the UK the potential effect of exposure to PM
