Mental Health, Mental Illness and Substance Use
Overview and list of investigators working in this area of research
Mental health, mental illness and substance use are intricately interwoven with sexual risk for both uninfected and infected populations and have been an important research emphasis of HIV Center investigators. Early work among the severely mentally ill in New York City has resulted in the adaptation of innovative interventions in mental health care settings. The Family Studies Program has focused on understanding mental health needs of families and children affected by HIV.
