Highlights
In 2013, our group continued with our research projects and also started new
ones:

Regarding previous research lines, our group has continued defining priority re-

search areas for the study of well-being and mental health in Europe (ROAMER

project). Furthermore, we have assessed the quality of life, well-being and mental
health status of the Spanish general population, validating new tools of assess-

ment and making also cross-country comparisons . On the other hand, the team
continued recruiting patients for two different purproses: to study new interven-

tion strategies in bipolar disorders (MEMAP study) and also to analyse factors

related to the onset of first psychotic episodes (AGES-CM). Finally, our team has
continued participating in the Field Studies Coordination Group International Ad-

visory Group for the Revision of ICD-10 Mental and Behavioural Disorders a con-

tinued with the activities linked to the nomination of the Department of Psychiatry
at the UAM as WHO Collaborative Center for Mental Health Services Research and

Training.

During 2013 our group has also developed new research lines. Firstly, we have
given support for the evaluation of the existing mental health resources in low

and middle income countries for the subsequent development of new intervention

programs that will improve the treatment of mental disorders in these settings
(EMERALD project). In addition, our team has received new national founds for

conducting a first following-up assessment of an existing representative cohort of

adult Spanish population. Furthermore, the team has started to participate in a
new European network for the training of young researchers in epidemiology and 13
0
mental health (MARATONE project) that is combining on-line training and face- 2
to-face meetings. Finally, this year it has been also of our interest to analyze the RT
PO
impact of economic crisis on mental health and suicide behavior in the Spanish E
R
general population.
