Associations between premenstrual symptoms and (traumatic) stress: a systematic review and three multilevel meta-analyses
doi.org
How are #stress and premenstrual symptoms connected?
And are those with a #trauma history more likely to have #PMS or #PMDD? 🌩️
Our systematic review & three meta-analyses combine evidence from 66 studies to explore these questions.
Excited our work is finally out! ✨

Had inspiring days at #ISPNE2026, with many exciting talks and discussions! ✨
As part of a symposium organized by Jennifer Gordan and Hannah Klusmann, I had the chance to share a first glimpse of our meta-analysis findings on cortisol (re)activity in premenstrual disorders
– stay tuned! :)

Very happy to share that the protocol paper for my ISSAC Study is out today! 🎉
I started planning ISSAC about four years ago, so it feels special to finally share a first part of the project.
Data collection is almost done! Results will still take a while, but stay tuned – there’s more to come 👀

If you’ve ever attempted a meta-analysis, you’ll know that authors generally do a poor job reporting statistics. If you do this well, you’ll improve your chances of your work being included in a future meta-analysis.
Our paper on improving statistical reporting in psychology is now online 🎉
As a part of this paper, we also created the Transparent Statistical Reporting in Psychology checklist, which researchers can use to improve their statistical reporting practices

I shared early insights into subjective #stress trajectories over the #menstrualcycle from the first 26 participants and how they relate to affective symptom changes (very preliminary; data collection ongoing). 📈

Excited for my talk at #WASAD2025! I’ll share some initial findings from my ongoing study, focusing on the trajectories of everyday life stress across the menstrual cycle and how they relate to premenstrual symptoms ✨
I’ll present at 10:15 at lecture hall 2. Come by! :)
