Benedict Weobong

Senior Lecturer/Global Mental Health Epidemiologist, University of Ghana

My work in the past 14 years has been informed by the principles of global (mental) health along three strands, tied together through the innovative use of task-sharing strategies in Low- and Middle- Income settings. I have specific expertise in psychological treatment development and evaluation, having worked on the PREMIUM Healthy Activity Program (HAP) and Counselling for Alcohol Problems (CAP) Program ,and the SHARE Thinking Healthy Program Peer-Delivered (THPP). I also have experience in implementation research and digital health interventions research. I have been awarded grants to a tune of a little over a million USD over my research career till date, and published over 20 refereed academic papers and two book chapters. My research interests are varied and span child development, adolescent health (mental health and addictions), and maternal mental health and well-being.
