Maureen presented her PhD research plan at the African Mental Health Research Initiative (AMARI) II and Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) from 15 – 20 April 2024 in the resort town of Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. Her PhD title: ‘Development, implementation and evaluation of a community-based assessment and intervention for cognitive and psychological ability for older adults living in urban Zimbabwe’. The ASM schedule comprised of AMARI PhD fellows introductory trainings (15-20 April), and an ASM (19 April). The primary aim of the ASM was to facilitate networking of AMARI-II participants and established scientists, to expose partner countries to mental, neurological and substance misuse disorders (MNS) research activities and to develop leadership skills and allow AMARI-II fellows to get high-level feedback from established scientists.
