| Dr. Carol Caton is currently principal investigator of three NIDA-funded longitudinal prospective studies; one is concerning the course of homelessness among the single adult homeless, the second is focused on the onset and course of psychosis and substance use comorbidity, and the third is an exploratory effort to develop a peer support intervention for patients with psychosis and substance use comorbidity who are poorly connected to mental health and substance abuse treatment services. Dr. Caton and her collaborators have published extensively on outcome of schizophrenia, homelessness, and severe mental illness and substance use comorbidity. In concert with a multidisciplinary team of scholars from various departments and schools within Columbia University, Dr. Caton led a National Institute of Mental Health application to develop an intervention and services research center focused on prevention of chronic homelessness, which will offer research fellows in psychiatry and graduate students the opportunity to actively participate in the center’s scientific dialogue with scientists, providers, consumers, and policy makers throughout the New York City region. Moreover, the center will facilitate ties with training programs in public health and public psychiatry, offering students an opportunity to collaborate on the design and implementation of interventions focused on people with severe mental illness who are at risk of chronic homelessness. Dr. Caton is professor of Clinical Sociomedical Sciences (Psychiatry), College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, and research scientist, New York State Psychiatric Institute.
