SASH member @BarrassLucy is sharing her @GW4Alliance PhD findings which utilises one of the very few birth cohorts from a #LMIC which has #mentalhealth measures.
It was such a fantastic opportunity this week to present some of my PhD findings at the World Congress of Epidemiology in Cape Town! A great learning opportunity with many interesting talks given #WCE2024
