What is
CARE-NET?

 

Welcome

Welcome and thank you for visiting our website here at CARE-NET,

(
Child and Adolescent REsearch Network for Effective Treatments). We hope you find it useful. Our goal is simple. We want to bring together patients, families, professionals, and community organizations to improve the quality of care delivered to children and adolescents with common emotional and behavioral problems in primary care medical settings. We have a diverse mission involving service delivery, treatment dissemination, research, and pediatric training. Despite significant progress in the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), disruptive behavioral disorders, anxiety, depression, and other emotional and behavioral problems, many affected children and adolescents do not receive the high quality care they deserve. CARE-NET exists to help bridge the “gaps” between what is known to work and what is now available in routine clinical practice.

 We are grateful for your interest and for this unique opportunity to catalyze change in the way that pediatric mental health services are accessed and delivered in primary care. CARE-NET was developed as part of Dr. David Brent’s Advanced Center for Interventions and Services Research for Early Onset Mood and Anxiety Disorders here at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center with funding from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). Please do not hesitate to contact us.

 Thank you again for taking time to visit.

 Sincerely,

Dr. David Kolko, CARE-NET Director and Dr. Evelyn Reis, CARE-NET Co-Director
