CRI Research
Research at CRI
History
Twenty years ago, staff at the Center for Behavioral Health in Indiana (now Centerstone of Indiana) began investigating how to improve client outcomes. Inspired by their example, Centerstone of Tennessee created a Research division and formed their own Institutional Review Board in 2001. In 2008, these two behavioral health research leaders combined their best data informatics and clinical research capabilities to create an independent non-profit organization—the Centerstone Research Institute (CRI).
With over 250 studies completed between the two separate organizations before the merger, CRI has a rich legacy of behavioral health research experience that inform and enrich the 60 studies it currently is involved in.
Current Research at CRI
Through the Clinical Research, Program Evaluation, Data Informatics, and Data Analytics divisions, CRI is able to conduct both independent and collaborative studies ranging in topics from the efficacy of psychotropic pharmaceuticals to the most effective clinical decision support software for case managers.
