Each episode explores key concepts, from randomisation to risk ratios, in a way that’s clear, conversational and (we hope) surprisingly enjoyable. Designed for researchers, clinicians and the statistically curious.
Co-presented by Dr Mike Trott, Research Fellow in Psychiatric Epidemiology at QCMHR and The University of Queensland and Dr Ravi Iyer, statistician at Swinburne University.

Growing up in Brisbane, John initially pursued a career as a psychiatrist before transitioning to groundbreaking research aimed at unraveling the complexities of mental health disorders. Co-leading a major international study in collaboration with The University of Queensland and Harvard Medical School, John’s research revealed that one in two people will develop a mental health disorder by the age of 75. This pivotal study sheds light on crucial questions about mental health.
 

In this fascinating conversation, Professor McGrath discusses:

  • The recent study findings showing how half of us will develop a mental health disorder by age 75.
  • What epidemiology means, and why its useful in understanding mental health.
  • The value of discovery science.
  • The beauty of collaboration to reach a common goal.
  • Whether mental health disorders could be prevented in the future.
