Corey Roos, PhD; Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Yale School of Medicine; Licensed Clinical Psychologist.

My research aims to improve the accessibility, effectiveness, and efficiency of treatments for psychiatric disorders, particularly substance use disorders (SUD). I have expertise in the science and practice of mindfulness-based interventions, including the aftercare intervention for SUD (for individuals stepping down from inpatient or intensive outpatient treatment) called mindfulness-based relapse prevention (MBRP). I am currently working on developing a self-guided multi-media web-based version of MBRP, as part of a K23 grant funded by NCCIH.

Overall, my research interests fall in the following areas:

• Mindfulness-based interventions
• Technology-based interventions (web- and app-based)
• Intensive longitudinal methods (EMA and daily diary designs)
• Regulatory strategies (e.g., emotion regulation/coping strategies) people use in daily life
• Mechanisms of recovery from SUD and other psychiatric disorders
• Patient-treatment matching ("Precision medicine/treatment")
• Harm reduction and humanistic, wholistic approaches to helping people with substance use problems
