Behavioral Health Research

Behavioral health continues to be an important part of the Schneider Institutes' research portfolio with over 70 active and recently completed projects. As a leading research center for studies related to the organization, delivery and financing of substance abuse and mental health services, many of our projects are large, multi-year, federally funded studies. Recently, we have expanded our work in the tobacco area and have begun to develop a research agenda on how lifestyle changes affect health.

In 2006, the Schneider Institutes created The Institute for Behavioral Health, directed by Professor Constance Horgan. The Institute focuses on the intersection of health, behavior, and systems of care, with an emphasis on the linkages among these areas. Its underlying premise is that these systems can be better used to promote healthier lifestyles and to assist individuals to engage in behaviors which lead to better health.
