Comorbidity Research Program
Overview
This program supports research on mental disorders and their relationship to other physical disorders and behavior. Emphasized are: (1) the development of reliable and valid assessment approaches to identify comorbid disorders accurately; (2) epidemiology to elucidate the potent, modifiable mechanisms and processes linking mental and other physical disorders; and (3) the development and early testing of innovative interventions — prevention and treatment — targeting these potent, modifiable mechanisms and processes.
