Research and Knowledge Exchange

Program Consultant: Alan Cudmore, Hamilton Office, CAMH

Continuous research on mental health and addictions is necessary for the development of appropriate treatments for these conditions. In addition, the ability to bridge the gap between research and clinical practice is equally important. Alan works on both sides of this equation, by assisting in the collection of data for various studies, and sharing the results of this research with various groups in the community. Knowledge exchange also involves the sharing of lessons learned from the clinical practice level, that in turn inform the development of new fields of inquiry.

More recently, Alan’s interests have expanded into areas such as research, knowledge exchange, and adult education. Particular projects in these areas include:

acting as a site coordinator for one of the studies conducted by CAMH’s Health Systems Research and Consulting Unit as part of the provincial System Enhancement Evaluation Initiative
facilitating knowledge exchange as a regional lead for the Ontario Mental Health and Addiction Knowledge Exchange Network
