The Behavioral Health Research Center of the Southwest (BHRCS) was established in 1997 to design and implement quality research and apply public health discoveries in behavioral health to actually change lives. Our team’s productivity demonstrates the ongoing commitment and purpose of our directors, staff, and consultants.

Our mission is to improve lives through research and to promote healthy behaviors. Our Center’s values include high quality and socially relevant research, scientific integrity, public trust, and a sustainable and productive environment. Our vision is to be the leading center that cultivates discovery, collaboration, and informed policy in behavioral health.

BHRCS is staffed with a cadre of research scientists with strong interests in all behavioral risk areas including alcohol and drug use prevention, intervention, and epidemiology. BHRCS’ multidisciplinary research team includes public health researchers, physicians, and PhD-level personnel with backgrounds in evaluation, biostatistics, psychology, and anthropology. The team has a history of NIH funding and provides an ideal environment for carrying out serious research that culminates in the resolution of real-world problems. The scientific team at BHRCS has published nearly 50 peer-reviewed publications, books, book chapters and numerous reports since its inception in October 1997. Additionally, the Clinical Trials division is staffed by physicians, registered nurses, and certified clinical research coordinators.
