Mental Health
HSR&D's mental health portfolio addresses broadly-defined mental health issues, including treatments, access to care, delivery of care, and outcomes of care for mental illnesses and substance use disorders. Mental illness includes schizophrenia, bipolar disorders, depression, anxiety disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorders. Substance use disorders include addictions to alcohol and drugs. Current active projects include barriers to treatment-seeking, access to care including telehealth projects, multi-site intervention effectiveness trials, measurement of the outcomes of interventions, co-occurring conditions, e.g., mental illness and substance use disorders, mental illness and chronic disease. Mental health is an HSR&D priority as described in the current Program Announcement of HSR&D Priorities.
