Applying Implementation Science in Autism Research

Please join us for the next presentation in our 2023 - 2024 Duke Center for Autism Speaker Series! Our speaker will be David Mandell, ScD. Dr. Mandell is the Kenneth E. Appel Professor of Psychiatry and director of the Penn Center for Mental Health at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine. He is trained as a psychiatric epidemiologist and mental health services researcher. The goal of his research is to improve the quality of care individuals with psychiatric and developmental disabilities receive in their communities, with a particular focus on people with autism. This research is of two types. The first examines, at the state and national level, the effects of different strategies to organize, finance and deliver services on service use patterns and outcomes. The second consists of experimental studies designed to determine the best strategies to successfully implement proven-efficacious practices in community settings.
