The Center's Dual Disorders Research Program is a Social Work Research Development Program
funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). The Center's multidisciplinary research team
addresses the facilitators and barriers to treatment among individuals with co-occurring substance
use and mental health disorders (dual disorders). Three pilot studies funded by NIDA investigate
stages of change, social networks, and family caregiving in low-income women with dual diagnoses.
The projects include the following:
