Decoding Depression and Environmental Influences: Vulnerabilities and Policy Insights

cover
EC JRC’s Evidence-Based Science for Policy Dissemination Brochure and Videos forthe InDepDash Interactive Depression Dashboard
The Dissemination Brochure and the Introductory and Demo videos provide a comprehensive overview of the Joint Research Centre's (JRC) science for policy work on depression, framed within the European Commission's Comprehensive Approach to Mental Health initiative. The material aims to bridge the gap between complex scientific research and public communication, making the findings accessible to a broad audience, including policymakers and stakeholders, during the critical 2024-2029 European Commission period. Highlighting the outcomes from pivotal workshops, the Brochure and videos show the synthesis of evidence and policy recommendations emerging from the scientific workshop “Crowdsourcing Knowledge on Depression Mechanisms: From Risk Factors to Treatment” and the subsequent co-editing workshop “Decoding Depression: A Life Course Exploration of Vulnerabilities through Transdisciplinary Inquiry.” These events, hosted by the EC JRC, united healthcare professionals, scientists, and individuals with lived experience to explore the mechanisms of depression through a collaborative, transdisciplinary approach. Furthermore, both videos showcases innovative digital health tools developed by the EC JRC, such as the SciWalker and the MAATrica digital metric, with a particular focus on the 'InDepDash' platform. InDepDash, an interactive dashboard, provides policymakers with a panoramic view of global data on depression, enabling informed, evidence-based decisions and promoting mental health resilience within society. Through this communication videos and the Brochure, we aim to elucidate the EC JRC's dedicated efforts in advancing mental health policy and practice through state-of-the-art science and technology.
