Dr. Helseth’s program of research seeks to increase equitable access to and utilization of effective interventions and health services, particularly among underserved populations and high-risk youth. She pursues this objective via several complementary lines of research that span from treatment development and evaluation to widespread dissemination and community-based implementation. Broadly, her work includes: 1) developing and evaluating behavioral health interventions, 2) using patient-directed dissemination strategies to increase demand for effective health services, 3) using provider-directed implementation strategies to increase the availability of effective health services, and 4) leveraging technology to deliver interventions to underserved populations. Her presentation will center on activities conducted during her 5-year, NIDA-funded Early Career Award (K23DA048062; PI: Helseth) to develop and evaluate the TECH app, a novel digital health adjunct designed to help court-involved, non-incarcerated adolescents reduce their use of cannabis.
