DARE Project: Women political empowerment and cross-national differences in the gender gap in subjective/mental health
Program(s) of Study: Social Work
Project Supervisor: Cary Wu
I am optimistic that my research on the gender mental health gap will make a noteworthy difference in the world. By shedding light on the unique obstacles that women encounter in terms of mental health, we can adopt a more inclusive and successful strategy to tackle these concerns.
