In a recent article authored for the April 2022 issue of UCLA Magazine, Chancellor Gene Block spoke to his concern about a “shadow pandemic” of worsened mental health across societies in the two years since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Chancellor Block, instrumental in the work of the UCLA Depression Grand Challenge, mentioned the DGC’s recently announced Digital Mental Health Study as part of UCLA’s effort in ultimately seeking solutions to the many affected by symptoms of depression and anxiety.
