We are very excited to announce that GREMAP PhD student Eskira Kahsay has successfully defended her dissertation! Her dissertation was titled “Residential Segregation and Psychiatric Disorders in Suicide-Related Outcomes and Mortality Among Black Americans”. This work leveraged two key datasets — the National Survey of American Life and the National Violent Death Reporting System— to provide a valuable contribution to our understanding of how structural and spatial determinants of health impact mental health and suicide risk within the Black population. Congratulations to Dr. Kahsay!
