STROBE diagram. This diagram shows the recruitment stages of the Neuroscience in Psychiatry Network (NSPN) 2400 cohort. This updated diagram is based on the original cohort paper by Kiddle and colleagues (2018) and has also been published by Wiedemann and colleagues (2022). We acknowledge that there are discrepancies between the original and the updated STROBE due to data-quality checks conducted after the cohort profile was published. The updated numbers presented here or by Wiedemann and colleagues (2022) supersede the original STROBE and reflect the most accurate information available at the time of publication. EoI, Expression of Interest; HQP, Home Questionnaire Pack; a36 practices in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Primary Care Trust (PCT), 8 in Barnet PCT, 3 in Camden PCT and 3 in Islington PCT; bschools in Barnet (2), Camden (4), Islington, Tower Hamlets, Haringey, Lambeth and Redbridge (all 1 each) and colleges in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough (6) and Islington (1); cexcluded due to current age beyond scope; dboth COVID-19 assessments were designed as online surveys for which all baseline participants who had a valid email address and had not withdrawn in previous assessments have been invited (note that for pre-pandemic assessments only participants who took part in the preceding round were invited); eexcluded due to uncertainty of survey responder identity

Deprivation deciles across assessments. Levels of relative deprivation amongst the Neuroscience in Psychiatry Network (NSPN) 2400 cohort participants measured by using the English Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD; 2015). Decile 1 represents the most deprived (under-represented in NSPN) and Decile 10 represents the least deprived (over-represented in NSPN) areas across England. Note: The index combines seven domains of deprivation that include income, employment, education, health, crime, barriers to housing/services and living environment. These are used to rank each small area in England from most to least deprived with deciles being used to describe relative deprivation. HQP, Home Questionnaire Pack
