      <Description>DR. BAKER THE MARINE CORPS RESILIENCY STUDY II:THE MARINE CORPS RESILIENCY STUDY II (MRS-II), LED BY DR. D. BAKER, IS PRIMARILY WORKING ON IDENTIFYING THE INDIVIDUAL, SOCIAL AND DEPLOYMENT FACTORS THAT PREDICT POST-DEPLOYMENT MENTAL HEALTH RESPONSE, PARTICULARLY POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (PTSD). IN ADDITION, THIS NOVEL RESEARCH STUDY INTEGRATES AND ANALYZES DATA ACROSS PSYCHOSOCIAL, PHYSIOLOGICAL AND BIOLOGICAL DOMAINS, TO ACCOMPLISH A MULTI-SYSTEM UNDERSTANDING OF THE PHENOMENOLOGY OF ADAPTATION TO STRESS.</Description>

        <Description>DR. LANG ACCEPT &amp; COMMIT THERAPY: THERE IS A STRONG NEED FOR EFFECTIVE TREATMENT OF THE COMPLEX ARRAY OF PROBLEMS THAT FOLLOW COMBAT, AND MANY VETERANS AND MILITARY PERSONNEL PREFER TO AVOID THE USE OF MEDICATIONS. THIS ACCEPTANCE AND COMMITMENT THERAPY (ACT) STUDY, DIRECTED BY DR. A. LANG, WILL DETERMINE IF THIS NEW AND PROMISING THERAPY FOR MILITARY SUFFERING FROM POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (PTSD), DEPRESSION, HEAD INJURIES, AND POST-CONCUSSIVE SYMPTOMS REDUCES VETERANS' DEPLOYMENT-RELATED SYMPTOMS AND IMPROVES THEIR FUNCTIONING. FURTHERMORE, THE RESEARCHERS WILL ALSO EXAMINE THE ACCEPTABILITY OF ACT AND THE EXTENT TO WHICH IMPROVEMENTS ARE MAINTAINED AFTER TREATMENT.</Description>

GRANHOLM-ENHANCING ASSERTIVE COMMUNITY TREATMENT WITH CBT AND SST FOR SCHIZOPHRENIA:RECENT PUBLIC HEALTH INTEREST HAS FOCUSED ON RECOVERY-ORIENTED MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR THE TREATMENT OF FUNCTIONAL DISABILITY IN SEVERE MENTAL ILLNESSES LIKE SCHIZOPHRENIA. EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AND RECOMMENDED IN BEST PRACTICE GUIDELINES, BUT THESE PRACTICES ARE RARELY AVAILABLE TO MOST PEOPLE WITH SCHIZOPHRENIA. THIS STUDY, DIRECTED BY DR. E. GRANHOLM, WILL ATTEMPT TO CLOSE THE GAP BETWEEN RESEARCH AND SERVICE DELIVERY BY TESTING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF EVIDENCE-BASED PSYCHOSOCIAL INTERVENTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN ADAPTED FOR PRACTICAL DELIVERY BY COMMUNITY CLINICIANS IN REAL-WORLD CLINICAL SETTINGS. FROM A PUBLIC HEALTH STANDPOINT, DELAYING INSTITUTIONALIZATION, REDUCING UNNECESSARY OR PREMATURE HOSPITALIZATIONS, AND INCREASING PATIENTS' CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE COMMUNITY, SHOULD HAVE SIGNIFICANT PERSONAL, SOCIETAL, AND ECONOMIC IMPACT.</Description>
