The aim of this short course is to introduce key topics in international mental health, with a focus on developing policy driven research in developing countries. Students will be introduced to key themes and then encouraged to develop in groups their own research questions. These will be developed over the course of the week in facilitated workshop sessions into drafted research proposals. The course will focus upon the methods needed to ensure research is sensitive to cultural and health system factors. Beyond research methodology, the course will stress the need to make findings implemented in policy, and to consider the applications of intervention research.
