Chair of Behavioural Epidemiology
Since its foundation in 2014, the professorship has been (partially) funded by the Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) for six years within the scope of the project „The epidemiology of functional and dysfunctional behavioral and psychological factors in mental health and disease“. Within this project, the Behavior and Mind Health study has been conducted in a random community sample of adolescents and young adults in Dresden, in order to derive novel insights into the etiophatogenesis of mental and beheavioral disorders.
