Faculty conduct research to improve treatment and quality of life for people living with mental health and substance use concerns.
Our transdisciplinary research:
- Determines possible causes of mental health concerns and substance use behaviors in key populations
- Identifies opportunities for prevention
Populations of interest currently include individuals with chronic health conditions; marginalized communities experiencing despair; people who use drugs; queer, trans/nonbinary, and Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities.
