Philip Held (Investigator: PI: Worksheet Helper) is passionate about innovating mental health care treatments, especially as it relates to PTSD and other trauma-related disorders. His research focuses on examining the efficacy and effectiveness of evidence-based treatments for PTSD and other trauma related disorders such as substance use, mood, and anxiety disorders. Dr. Held's goal is to develop briefer and more accessible treatments so more people can benefit from them. Additionally, his research aims to identify ways to help those who do not respond to existing treatments. Dr. Held's research combines clinical treatment with advanced statistics and analytics, such as machine learning, with the goal of being able to further tailor treatments and match an individual with the type and length of treatment in which they are most likely to succeed given their background and experiences.
