These certificate programs are at no extra cost to full-time students and are available to enhance the mental health research educational experience. A dual BA/MHS program has also been established in conjunction with the School of Arts and Sciences program in Public Health Studies. Program Goals The Department of Mental Health engages in population-based research on the etiology, occurrence, prevention and control of mental, alcohol-, and drug-dependence disorders. Its mission is to advance understanding of causes and consequences of these disorders in populations; to study the impact of alternative clinical, organizational or fiscal arrangements; and to study and apply public health methods for preventing alcohol, drug, and mental disorders. Research is particularly active in the following areas: 1) adult psychiatric epidemiology, including the study of the natural history of psychopathology; 2) cognitive health and aging; 3) hazards of psychoactive drug use; 4) prevention of risk behaviors through school- and community-based interventions; 5) youth violence; 6) socioeconomic stratification and mental disorders; and 7) family, community and clinical interventions for children with severe emotional disturbances.
