RET General Information
The State of Hawaii's Child and Adolescent Mental Health Division (CAMHD) and the Psychology Department at the University of Hawaii at Manoa (UH) have joined together to create the CAMHD-UH Research and Evaluation Training Program (RET). Begun in November 2004, this effort is a collaborative partnership designed to support CAMHD's research and evaluation efforts and to create service-learning opportunities for advanced graduate students in applied behavioral health research and evaluation. These service-learning experiences promote new career paths in behavioral health and public service, prepare developing professionals for leadership roles in behavioral health service systems, and integrate system of care principles, high ethical standards, and commitment to quality scientific endeavors. Experiences are fostered through providing research and evaluation services to CAMHD and its partners that aim to generate new knowledge, produce new decision support tools, and improve the quality of Hawaii's child and adolescent system of care.
RET is lead by Dr. Ki'i Kimhan, CAMHD Research and Evaluation Specialist, Dr. David Jackson, Research and Evaluation Specialist and Dr. Charles Mueller, Professor of Social and Clinical Psychology, Department of Psychology at the University of Hawaii. To date, ten students have held paid assistantship positions in RET and have been able to learn applied system research and evaluation skills and participate in system improvement and knowledge generation. RET supports access to systems data for other faculty and student research projects as well. See the RET-CV for a sampling of projects and products produced.
