Hosted by the Royal College of Psychiatrists, U.K.

Funded by a Grant from the World Psychiatric Association

In Partnership with the African Mental Health Foundation

The study has made exciting progress since receiving the WPA grant. We have been joined by the African Mental Health Foundation, led by Prof. David Ndetei, who will co-ordinate the African arm of the study. We have also been supported by the UK Medical Schools Council to run an expanded UK study, aiming to include 20 UK medical schools in an additional data arm. These additions to the project should help us form a much more complete picture of the recruitment situation around the world.

Each country has completed a local ethical approval process, and translated the study where necessary. The study is currently in the data collection stage, with student surveys live in the majority of countries, the current progress is summarised below:

* Liberia, Ghana, Nigeria, Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Zambia, Malawi, South Africa (Limpopo)
