In the first episode in this new podcast from the European Society for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, "ESCAP on air," the focus is on mental health at the population level, early interventions and collaboration in research with policy makers. We interview Tamsin Ford, Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the University of Cambridge, and Anna Sofie Kjærgaard Hansen, a specialist and PhD at Aalborg University Hospital. Ford discusses her research on school-based interventions and the importance of involving policymakers, while Hansen shares her insights on service use in psychiatry.
