Health Metrics in Danish Registers

In recent years the Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation has established a network of collaborators around the world to measure the burden of disease around the world. In collaboration with Professor Harvey Whiteford and his team at QCMHR, we will explore new techniques to estimate the burden of mental disorders for countries. We will use high-quality Danish health registers to estimate the burden of treated mental disorders in Denmark and use individual-level data to explore ways to capture comorbidity within mental disorders.
