Last week our modelling team led by John Wallert traveled to Cape Town, South Africa, for the World Congress of Epidemiology (WCE). We had three oral presentations and two poster presentations in psychiatric epidemiology!

Leoni Grossmann presented her work on: ”Suicide in the compulsory mental care population in Sweden: a descriptive nationwide registry study”.

Björn Bråstad presented his work on: ”Predictors of labour market marginalization in psychiatric patients following internet-delivered psychotherapy: a MULTI-PSYCH study with clinical, registry, and genetic data”.

And Fredrik Johansson presented his work on: ”Early change in individual depression symptoms and later symptom severity during internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy”. He also had two poster presentations.

The team was also accompanied by Head of Department of Statistics at Uppsala University, Ronnie Pingel, who is co-supervisor for Leoni. We also had time to socialise, enjoy the great sights, and delicious food! Both the WCE and Cape Town are strongly recommended!
