We are proud to share that a new paper by researchers from the Centre for Urban Mental Health and Amsterdam UMC has been published in The Lancet Regional Health – Europe:


Effect of a national mental health campaign on population mental resilience in the Netherlands: a retrospective longitudinal cohort analysis using a dynamical systems perspective.


Authors: Junus M. van der Wal, Frank Pijpers, Gabriela Lunansky, Anja Lok, Mary Nicolaou, Anastasia Korezelidou, Karien Stronks, and Claudi L. Bockting.


The study provides new insights into the effectiveness of large-scale mental health campaigns. While such campaigns are widely used to address growing mental health concerns, their actual impact remains uncertain. This is the first study to apply network analysis grounded in dynamical systems theory to assess population-level mental resilience.
