Current work

Our work is currently divided into two streams
Mental health intervention screening

​A research group is investigating the most promising giving opportunities among mental health interventions in the developing world. We’ve developed a
screening tool to assess a list of nearly 200 interventions from the Mental Health Innovation Network. The eight members of our screening team give these individual ratings, which we then check for inter-rater reliability. Once we’ve moved through the list, we will build cost-effectiveness models for the most promising interventions.
Individual research projects

Another group of individuals are pursuing their own projects taken from our research agenda. You can find descriptions of what is being worked on via our team page.
