Most psychological problems start to emerge in childhood or adolescence, likely because the brain is most vulnerable while it is still growing. The latest research suggests that brain health is intimately linked to the gut. Could bacteria in the gut contribute to risk of (or resistance to) mental health problems in children? This project will investigate this question and the information gathered will then be used to trial new, gut-based, approaches to protect children’s mental health.

大多数心理问题开始出现在儿童或青少年时期，可能是因为大脑在成长过程中最脆弱。最新研究表明，大脑健康与肠道密切相关。肠道中的细菌会导致儿童心理健康问题的风险（或抵抗力）吗？该项目将调查这个问题，收集的信息将用于试验新的、基于肠道的方法，以保护儿童的心理健康。
