Dr. Musyimi’s research focuses on promoting excellence in community-based mental health research and develops innovative strategies with special attention to older person’s and women’s health, particularly improving dementia care and maternal and child mental health in Kenya. She has been the Principal Investigator for several projects aimed at training non-mental health specialists such as traditional and faith healers to deliver evidence-based mental health care in rural community settings.
