Behavioral health

About

Our research addresses a wide range of topics in behavioral health including suicide prevention, opioid use disorder, serious mental illness, and postpartum depression. Our research includes single-site studies and multi-site collaborations as part of the Mental Health Research Network (MHRN). We are also conducting research to support health and well-being. We aim to improve the prevention, screening, and treatment of behavioral health disorders and to understand the relationship between serious mental illness and other health outcomes.
