Research Focus
Dr. Alayna Lee Park's lab focuses on improving mental health treatment for Latine youths by developing a decision support tool that helps clinicians culturally adapt evidence-based treatments (EBTs). This work addresses the disparities in mental health service engagement and outcomes in this underserved population. Through co-creation with clinicians and usability testing, the lab aims to create a tool that makes mental health care more culturally relevant and effective.
