TL;DR: While there is reason for optimism in the public's recognition of mental illness and causal attributions, a strong stereotype of dangerousness and desire for social distance persist and are likely to negatively affect people with mental illness.

TL;DR: The increase in childhood IQ with birth weight continues well into the normal birth weight range and for boys this relation holds within same sex sibships and therefore cannot be explained by confounding from family social environment.

TL;DR: The data indicate substantially elevated rates of schizophrenia among African Americans in comparison with whites in this birth cohort, and the association may have been partly but not wholly mediated by an effect of race on family SES.

TL;DR: A systematic review of evidence from urbanicity and neighborhood studies regarding spatial variation in the incidence of psychosis in developed countries since 1950 indicates that early-life exposure may be important; dose-response relations, spatial patterning of schizophrenia, and interactions with other factors may exist; and research addressing the etiologic effect of exposures shaped by place as a reservoir of risk or resilience is proposed.

TL;DR: These findings represent the first serologic evidence that prenatal influenza plays a role in schizophrenia and may have implications for the prevention of schizophrenia and for unraveling pathogenic mechanisms of the disorder.
