Research Activities and Interests

My initial research interests were clinical and publications tended to be case report oriented. As psychiatry became more neurobiological, I developed an interest in brain based behavioral disorders with a focus on the role of quantitative EEG to investigate attention disorders.

This interest was funded through NIMH. As that funding ended, I had developed our training program in child and adolescent psychiatry and turned my focus towards community needs given the severe shortage of child and adolescent psychiatrists. I received funding from federal sources through the state in conjunction with the development of a pilot program to develop a system of care for children with severe mental illness, in Pitt, Edgecombe and Nash Counties.

This has coincided with my current interest in evidence-based medicine, and patient participation in medical decision-making. I have a more recent interest in the use of telepsychiatry in clinical practice and training primary care physicians in managing psychiatric patients.
