The Summer Institute in Mental Health Research is offered over the course of a two-week period, June 22 - July 2, 2009, by the Department of Mental Health, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. The Institute focuses on methodological and substantive topics in mental health and substance-use research. It is intended for working professionals or students who are interested in developing research expertise in the epidemiology of mental health and substance use disorders, the implementation and evaluation of mental health services and interventions, and/or the methodological issues encountered in mental health research in the population. After completing the program, participants will understand the latest findings on the occurrences of mental health and substance use disorders in the population and their implications for public mental health; know the steps involved in the scientific, empirical evaluation of services and interventions targeted for mental health outcomes; and acquire the skills and knowledge needed in using the state of the art methodological tools for collecting and analyzing mental health data. Where academic credit leading to a degree is desired, students are required to pay the standard school tuition of $815 per credit (2009 rate) for Bloomberg School of Public Health degree students. This rate does not apply to students taking courses for non-credit. The non-credit tuition rate is $400 per credit (2009 rate). No scholarship and/or grant support is available. For more information about courses and enrollment, contact Patty Scott at (410) 955-1906 or email: mhinstitute@jhsph.edu.
