Astrid Chevance, MD, PhD

After an initial training in psychiatry, I achieved a PhD in Clinical Epidemiology proposing methodological improvement for developing Core Outcome Sets using the example of Depression.

I am now an Assistant professor in Public Health in Université de Paris/APHP, working in the METHODS team (Inserm UMR 1153).

My research focuses on mental health (mainly depression and mental pain), in the goal of developing a patient-centered, evidence-based psychiatry.

I adapt methods and concepts from social sciences and humanities to clinical epidemiology to enhance the richness and granularity of the data and thus, there clinical usefulness.
