About the lecture:
Health disparities is a well-known issue, but what can we do as individuals to improve this global challenge? In this lecture, Dr Keri Wong will present her current research on how better assessments of mental health in children and young people can pave the way to reducing community health inequalities overtime. Dr Wong will discuss 鈥榬esearch non-involvement鈥� from hard-to-reach groups 鈥� those who are invisible to the public healthcare and education systems 鈥� and how this poses a challenge for all disciplines and particularly in mental health research, this perpetuates inequalities in health access, support, and policy. Importantly, she will also propose ways of working together as researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and as individuals engaged with our local communities and networks.
This 乱伦秀 Lunch Hour Lecture forms part of a series organised in partnership with 乱伦秀's Grand Challenge of Mental Health & Wellbeing and 乱伦秀 Workplace Wellbeing.
