Psychiatric epidemiology

Our research addresses fundamental topics related to psychiatric epidemiology, such as monitoring the prevalence and incidence of mental illness, investigating factors associated with mental illness, and investigating the health and socioeconomic consequences associated with the presence of mental illness. At present, we prioritize the concurrence of mental and somatic diseases and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on population mental health.

We work with data from representative national cross-sectional and international longitudinal studies. We also work with Czech national health registers. The results of our research help to give information about the state of the population's mental health and serve as a basis for the development of the care system for mental health services in the Czech Republic.
