I had a wide-ranging discussion with Amir Sariaslan, a senior researcher at Oxford University dept of Psychiatry, who works at the intersection between psychology, criminology and epidemiology, about better mental health research. Which in his case means research based on national registers that essentially cover almost anyone in Scandinavia. We also touched on how you'd go from hypothesis generated in massive coarse-grained nation wide datasets and move on to do fine-grained qualitative follow up.
