Completed Projects

The descriptions of projects below represent collaborative efforts of the Clearinghouse with various military and civilian partners. These projects span from revising behavioral health prevention programs focused on target prevention of alcohol use, to creating dynamic online-trainings for child and youth professions, to conducting rapid literature reviews, to developing trainings for mental health clinic staff, to developing evaluation plans and implementing them. The common elements of these projects involve practical science brought to bear on addressing challenges that our military partners identify. We are committed to translating science into action. Let’s have a conversation to see how we can assist you in strengthening service member and family health and well-being.
