The Evidence-based Translational Research Team (EBTRT) at the Cognitive Behavior and Health Promotion Lab, founded in 2022, is dedicated to advancing evidence-based practices in healthcare, particularly in mental health, psychiatric nursing, sleep disorders, behavioral therapy, and psychopathology. The team aims to bridge the gap between scientific research and clinical application, improving patient outcomes and enhancing mental health services.

Key areas of research include developing new treatment approaches for psychiatric conditions, improving care for high-risk populations, and addressing sleep disorders such as insomnia and sleep apnea. The team also investigates the use of behavioral therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), to treat mental health conditions like depression and anxiety. Additionally, the EBTRT explores the biological, psychological, and social factors contributing to psychiatric disorders, such as depression and schizophrenia.

The team employs rigorous research methodologies, including systematic reviews, meta-analyses, clinical trials, and large-scale data analysis, to evaluate the effectiveness of various interventions. Their work aims to directly inform clinical practice, ensuring that healthcare providers use the latest evidence-based strategies in treating mental health disorders.

Overall, the EBTRT is making significant contributions to the understanding and treatment of mental health conditions by translating research findings into real-world applications, ultimately improving healthcare outcomes for patients.
