CAMHD Publication List

 

The Research and Evaluation Team is a collaborative partnership between CAMHD and the University of Hawai’i at Manoa, Department of Psychology designed to provide leadership in child and adolescent mental health research and evaluation and to create service-learning opportunities in behavioral health research and evaluation. Our research and evaluation services aim to generate new knowledge, produce new decision support tools, and improve the quality of Hawaii’s child and adolescent system of care. Our service learning experiences promote new career paths in behavioral health and public service, prepare developing professionals for leadership roles in behavioral health service systems, and integrate system of care principles, high ethical standards, and scientific endeavor.
