What this research studies
This program focuses on training postdoctoral fellows in the emerging field of digital mental health by integrating behavioral and psychological sciences with human-computer interaction. Trainees will work under the guidance of mentors from both disciplines, allowing them to develop a comprehensive understanding of digital mental health applications. The program emphasizes team science, research methods, and mental health equity, ensuring that fellows are well-equipped to lead innovative research in this area. By breaking down traditional silos in research training, the program aims to foster collaboration and enhance the effectiveness of digital mental health interventions.
