Whilst these results are disheartening, they are not out of place among the results of other universal interventions. Schools will always have a large part to play in adolescent m/h and intervention, but perhaps our approach needs to shift to be more targeted/indirect/peer led?

”Academic freedom [...] is vital to both universities and to society. But academic freedom is not a licence to deny someone’s human dignity, just as free speech is not a defence for discrimination along racial or religious lines.” Yes.
