Drawing on three decades of national-level database studies, Prof. Weiser will walk through what population-scale evidence reveals about the factors that correlate with mental health diagnoses, and what it means for how clinicians approach early identification and intervention.
Agenda Highlights
Prof. Weiser will be covering:
- Cognitive and social functioning as predictive factors
- Cannabis and tobacco use as risk factors
