Prevalence, Treatment, and Control of Depressive Symptoms Before and After Passage of the Affordable Care Act: Evidence from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
Principal Investigators: Daniel Hagen, Melody Goodman, Emily Goldmann
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010 included approaches to improve population mental health, such as depression screening in primary care practice. This project uses data from the 2015-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to elucidate whether the prevalence of depressive symptoms, pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment, and of adequate symptom control has changed since the implementation of this policy.
Psychosocial Effects of Same-Sex Marriage and Civil Partnership in the United Kingdom
Principal Investigators: Hagen, D., Lewis, G., Goldmann, E.
Existing research suggests that the formalization of opposite-sex relationships is associated with favorable mental health outcomes, especially among males. This project seeks to examine whether this association also applies to individuals in same-sex relationships, using data from the UK Household Longitudinal Survey (UKHLS).
Gender Differences in Depression Across Europe: A Systematic Review of Cross-National Studies
Principal Investigators: Daniel Hagen, Emily Goldmann
Unipolar depressive disorders are consistently more common among females among males; however, the magnitude of this gender difference varies among populations. This systematic review seeks to synthesize evidence from nationally representative, cross-national studies across Europe to identify the range of such differences and to signpost potential associations with country-level social policies and cultural norms.
Acculturation and Depressive Symptoms Among Dominicans in New York City
Researchers: Hagen, D., Goldmann, E., Parikh, N.S., Goodman, M., Boden-Albala, B.
Acculturation, the extent to which migrants assimilate to the cultural environment of the receiving country, is commonly found to be associated with adverse health outcomes among Hispanic populations in the United States. However, there is comparatively little research on mental health outcomes such as depression, and few studies have investigated differences between Hispanic subpopulations. Against this backdrop, this project uses data from a community health survey among Dominican residents of Northern Manhattan (New York City) to analyze associations between different measures of acculturation and lifetime prevalence of depressive symptoms.

Characterizing cognition across the lifespan in untreated psychosis in China (9/1/15- 5/31/20)
Principal Investigator: Lawrence Yang, Gary Yu (Co-I)
Researchers: Margaux Grivel
Grant: 1 R01 MH108385, National Institutes of Mental Health, 2016- 2021
China is implementing a national project that is a historic transformation of its mental health services and is the largest national program to offer treatment to persons with psychosis. This project provides an unprecedented opportunity to study the ‘natural state’ of cognition in a large untreated sample of individuals with psychosis (n=400), in the absence of the effect of medications, compared with a treated sample (n=400) and healthy controls (n=400). The research training program increases capacity to intervene with untreated psychosis to serve as a model for scale-up for first intervention in China.
