Alex Dopp, PhD, will present his lecture "Financing Strategies to Promote Implementation and Sustainment of Evidence-Based Practices in Youth Behavioral Health Systems" for the UCLA STAND ALACRITY Center Speaker Series on Tuesday, April 23, 2024 from 12–1 p.m. PDT via Zoom.
Dopp is an implementation scientist and child clinical psychologist who studies the use of research evidence, and related policy implications, for improving youth mental health services. He possesses rare dual expertise in mental health services and economic evaluation, which has allowed him to conduct research on "upstream" influences (financing strategies) and "downstream" outcomes (economic impact) of the implementation of evidence-based youth mental health treatments. Dopp's research involves frequent collaboration with a variety of health policy, services, economics, and outcomes researchers, as well as patients and community stakeholders, within an interdisciplinary team science approach.
This event is part of the UCLA ALACRITY Center External Speaker Series, which we host in a hybrid format approximately once per quarter. These events, open to the public, focus on topics relevant to our mission of reimagining how to assess & meet the mental health & social needs of community college students. Recordings of sessions are made available on our website within 10 business days of the event.
