Population Mental Health Lab
The Population Mental Health Lab, led by Dr. Karestan Koenen, provides training, conducts research, and acts as a public resource of information to advance understanding and support for mental health at a population level. The lab aims to move beyond documenting the mental health burden, distribution, and causes of mental ill health towards using what we know to improve population mental health.
