Want to make the new #NIH #biosketch easier to read?
By default, #SciENcv outputs the Bio with essentially no formatting, which can be hard on reviewers.
You can use simple HTML—<b>...</b> for bold and <br> for line breaks—to improve readability in the BioSketch fields.

Thank you @JAMAPsych. Important! A lot to do to ensure that mental health has parity of esteem with physical health. Imagine if only 6.9% of people with cancer received effective treatment, that would be seen as scandalous

This study found that only 6.9% of people with mental and substance use disorders received effective treatment, with major barriers including low perceived need, inadequate treatment contact, and insufficient treatment quality. ja.ma/4llis4b
