Abstract

Morgan Stanley has reported a grant of $1.3 million to the Columbia University Department of Psychiatry in the Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons to advance children's mental health research in an effort to raise awareness, drive innovation and inform intervention strategies and actions, Close‐up Media Inc. reported Nov. 28. Specific research areas include the impact of telehealth treatment, use of technology to assess adolescent depression, and the impact of COVID‐19 and digital technology use on Latinx youth's mental health, according to a news release. “The COVID‐19 pandemic will be accompanied by a wave of mental health consequences for children, adolescents, and families. Unfortunately, these mental health sequelae are super‐imposed upon the long‐standing and persistent problems of racial and social injustice,” said Jeremy Veenstra‐VanderWeele, M.D., director of the Division of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry in the Department of Psychiatry at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons and the New York‐Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital.
