RESEARCH
Governed by The Council's Institutional Review Board, our Research
Division conducts relevant empirical studies and publishes articles
relating to behavioral health issues. Studies have examined post-traumatic
stress disorder (PTSD), sleep disorders, head injury, sexual
abuse and violence, violence prevention, effectiveness of anti-psychotic
medications and other topics that affect African Americans and
other minorities.
One of our most crucial recent studies explored preventing
HIV/AIDS in South Africa . The CHAMP-South Africa study is funded
by The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), a federal
research office that most often provides grants to universities.
It is rare for a non-profit community mental health organization,
like The Council, to receive a five-year, multimillion dollar
grant.
Early results indicate that CHAMP is having an impact not only
on HIV/AIDS prevention, but also on other family and community
issues.
