Abstract
Dr. Esther Duflo, Nobel Laureate in Economics, and co-founder and co-director of the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL) sat down with Dr. Benjamin Cook for a "fireside chat" at the 12th National Institute of Mental Health Global Mental Health Research Without Borders Conference. Dr. Duflo discussed J-PAL's efforts to develop and test interventions for improving mental health and how cash transfer programs can be used to improve mental health. She also discussed the importance of using randomized control trials (RCTs) in shaping global mental health initiatives. Dr. Duflo shared insights from projects addressing loneliness among older individuals in India, secondary school scholarships in Ghana, and other studies that have informed social policies. Looking forward, she discusses climate change as a threat to the reductions in poverty realized in the last 30 years and encourages the expansion of networks of research and policy collaborations to improve global health.
