Our teams: METHODS
I am joining the METHODS team (CRESS-UMR1153) as a postdoctoral researcher within the COLIVE-MH project, a collaborative living evidence platform on psychometric evidence for mental health measures. The project aims to improve the global applicability of mental health outcomes by assessing the measurement properties of widely used instruments. Before joining the team, I contributed to the development of large-scale, open-access living meta-analytic databases in mental health (www.metapsy.org), which supported my PhD research on methodological biases and the examination of underrepresented but clinically important outcomes in depression trials.
