Outside in: how social, political, and environmental factors shape mental health

Dr Jen Dykxhoorn (Principal Research Fellow, Division of Psychiatry, UCL)
The causes of mental health problems are complex and shaped by a web of social, political, and environmental factors. Drawing on new research from the UK and Sweden, Jen will explore how neighbourhood characteristics, housing affordability, immigration policy change, and more affect mental health problems.
