Adrian
Angold received his medical, psychiatric and research training
at the Bethlem Royal and Maudsley Hospitals and the Institute
of Psychiatry in London, and spent a post-doctoral year at
the Depression Research Unit at Yale University. During that
period he was the lead author of the Child
and Adolescent Psychiatric
Assessment (CAPA) and the Mood and Feelings
Questionnaire (MFQ),
and has a continuing interest in the development of these measures
and their various congeners. His abiding research interest
in childhood and adolescent depression also found its first
expression there.
In 1988 he and E.
Jane
Costello moved
to the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Duke University Medical
Center and founded the Developmental Epidemiology Program there. In the early
90’s Costello and Angold began the ongoing longitudinal Great
Smoky Mountains Study,
and then the Caring for Children in the Community Study. These two studies have
served as “platforms” for a variety of contributions to psychiatric
services, developmental, nosological and outcomes research. They are now the
basis for a program of genetic and imaging studies with a particular focus on
gene-environment interplay.
With
the approach of the 21st century, Angold’s focus shifted to the study of
psychiatric disorders (particularly anxiety disorders) in preschoolers in collaboration
with Helen Link
Egger. This program of work again began with measure development
(the Preschool Age Psychiatric Assessment (PAPA)), and has now moved on
to the study of patterns of presentation and continuity of early psychiatric
disorders and risk factors predicting them. The most recently funded work in
this area involves fMRI follow-up of preschoolers with anxiety disorders.
