Migrating longitudinal African mental health data from staging to the OMOP common data model within the INSPIRE network datahub
This framework demonstrates scalable harmonisation and integration of African mental health data, bridging the gap between local datasets with global standards. This then enables the performance of federated analysis and reproducible research, increasing the utility and impact of mental health data in informing evidence-based policies and future collaborative studies across Africa.
