The Behavioral Health Innovations Lab, led by Jennifer Dahne, Ph.D., aims to develop better methods for studying behavioral health issues and treatments that will improve health and well-being. Many of our ongoing studies focus on increasing access to high quality, evidence-based treatments for quitting smoking and depression management. We are also developing innovative approaches to make clinical trials more accessible to people living across South Carolina and beyond. Through our research, we hope to reduce and eventually eliminate barriers to participating in clinical trials and to receiving effective behavioral health treatment.
