CARE Lab
The need for effective, efficient behavioral healthcare is pervasive.

The mission of the CAllahan REsearch (CARE) Lab is to identify and develop mechanisms for improvement of patient care and behavioral health outcomes, particularly among underserved and disadvantaged populations.
How are we advancing our mission?
Primary lines of inquiry at this time focus on:
- Optimizing treatment delivery and patient outcomes in behavioral healthcare settings.
- Developing, measuring, and promoting health service psychology expertise.
- Program development and evaluation in clinical psychological science.
Why does our work matter?
By optimizing patient-provider interactions, we can positively impact individuals, families, and communities. This, in turn, can significantly improve patient outcomes, especially in underserved areas where qualified providers are scarce.
We view doctoral training as a powerful tool for shaping healthcare providers’ lifelong approaches to patient care. By focusing on patient characteristics in concert with provider effectiveness and efficiency (e.g., using digital tools for patient triaging and treatment titration), we can reduce disparities in access to evidence-based treatments and better address the growing demand for behavioral healthcare.
