Our researchers have worked with former child soldiers in Sierra Leone, children affected by HIV/AIDS in Rwanda, and refugee families in the United States in order to develop low-cost interventions that improve life outcomes.
How we design and evaluate mental health services:
We have built models that apply a sequence of mixed qualitative and quantitative methods as a way to address some of the measurement challenges faced by the field. This innovative mixed methods process has been applied in a range of diverse cultural settings, and expands the traditional psychopathological approach to one that also examines local protective processes linked to resilient outcomes.
