Mental Health and Cognition

Public health mental health and cognition research is crucial for developing effective interventions and policies. SPH research emphasizes a multi-faceted, life course approach, including the role of genes and environments, mental health care, brain function, cognitive functioning such as dementia and Alzheimer's, and associations between mental and physical health.
