Description
Ulrich Reininghaus leads a twenty-one-author team launching, in a 2026 protocol, a two-arm population study of mental health in Mannheim, Germany. Public mental-health monitoring needs the whole spectrum, from wellbeing to severe disorder. German population research on that full range has been quiet for twenty years. The MAKO study is built to close the conceptual gaps that leaves.
One arm hunts every new case arising in the catchment during 2024 and 2025 through structured clinical interviews and case records. The other recruits a characterised population cohort — spanning people without symptoms, those at risk and those already ill — and follows them forward. The authors present the design as a test of an integrated model of population mental health.
