Summary

In 1992, the National Institute of Mental Health announced the availability of support for social work research development centers focused on strengthening the research infrastructures of schools of social work and developing the capabilities of individual faculty members to conduct mental health research. The Center for Mental Health Services Research, directed by Dr. Proctor, is the first one to be funded under this announcement. Its developmental and research activities focus on three key issues in mental health service delivery: access, integration, and effectiveness of care. A study is also being conducted on mental health service delivery to adolescents in St. Louis.
