Research Seminar: Adaptation and Outcomes of lay mental health self-care with Mark Yaffe
Dr. Mark Yaffe will present on the results of six controlled trials of self-care interventions for depression and/ or anxiety, comparing telephone lay guidance of self-care tools to self-directed use of the same tools. This research, conducted over ten years, benefited from a strong interdisciplinary collaboration. The presence of a clinician-scientist helped the understanding of how to implement each of the six studies for unique patient population, suggested relevant interpretation of the data, and engaged in ongoing examination of how these potentially sustainable interventions might be implemented in real-world settings.
This seminar is organized by the McGill Practice Based Research Network (PBRN) at the Department of Family Medicine.

Research Seminar Series
Every month, a research seminar is held at the Department of Family Medicine where we either feature visiting researchers from other universities, or showcase the work of our own researchers. The seminars are attended by our graduate students, researchers and clinicians, and are open to the whole McGill community. They address a wide range of research methods and topics relevant to primary health care, and provide opportunity for interaction and exchange with the speakers. The Research Seminars are Fridays at around noon.
