Yuwei is generally interested in both the area of child welfare and the area of mental health services. She would like to improve the effectiveness of child protection system and mental health services as well as eliminate the stigma around mental health problems in low-and-middle-income countries. Through systematic review in relevant fields, she would like to identify those effective components of interventions and policies to implement more evidence-based programs and advocacy in those countries, especially her hometown China.
