PROFESSOR and Head of the Department of Community Health Sciences, Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary, Canada, Prof. Tolulope Sajobi, has said that methodologists are central to producing quality research evidence capable of transforming healthcare delivery and influencing policy across Nigeria and sub-Saharan Africa.
Delivering a plenary lecture titled “One Craft, Many Tables: Methodologists as Leaders in Transdisciplinary Mental Health Research,” Sajobi called for greater investment in methodological sciences and the deliberate development of experts who can lead multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary research teams.
He spoke at the 1st Women Derive Mathematical Models for Mental Health (WEALTH) Conference and the 2nd Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CAMH) Conference in Ibadan.
According to him, strengthening methodological capacity is critical to improving research quality, translating scientific evidence into health policies and addressing complex healthcare challenges across the region.
