Earlier this month, GREMAP research staff Chuwen (Cullen) Zhong attended the American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry (AAGP) Annual Conference in Phoenix, AZ! Cullen presented her work that uses network analysis to examine the association between depressive symptoms, social isolation, and physical functioning among older adults. The AAGP meeting was a great opportunity to discuss this work with a diverse set of stakeholders, including many clinicians, who have a valuable perspective on how these three constructs interact in the clinical setting. Great work, Cullen!
