Catching up with ADAA's Past Career Development Leadership Program (CDLP) Awardees
Meet CDLP 2017 Awardee Jessica L. Schleider, M.A.
I participated in the CDLP in 2017, on the Clinical Research track, and my mentor was Alicia Meuret, PhD. Participating in CDLP was a wonderful opportunity on multiple fronts. I was able to meet and network with incredible up-and-coming clinical researchers as well as leaders in the intervention science field (including some of my scientific heroes!), leading to new colleagues, research ideas, and even collaborations. Through CDLP seminars, I gained actionable insight into funding opportunities available to early-career researchers, which has shaped my plans for developing a research program. Presenting an early-stage research project to Dr. Meuret and others in my mentorship group helped me solidify a new project plan, which I am now developing into a grant proposal. Since participating in the CDLP, I began my Predoctoral Internship in Clinical Psychology at Yale School of Medicine, and I recently accepted a tenure-track position as an Assistant Professor of Psychology (Clinical Area) at Stony Brook University, which I will begin in September 2018. I will strongly encourage my future students and early-career colleagues to consider the CDLP; I am very grateful to have been part of the program!

The common practice of using patient self-report screening questionnaires rather than diagnostic interviews conducted by researchers has resulted in overestimates of the prevalence of depression, according to an analysis in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal). The authors suggest that researchers often use self-report questionnaires because diagnostic interviews are time consuming and expensive to administer.

A new study finds that campaigns to treat mental illness as a disease and remove stigma may be lacking because people also tend to believe that other factors such as bad character may play a role, muddying the picture. Baylor University researchers focused on stigma toward individuals suffering from depression, schizophrenia and alcoholism. The study is published in the journal Society and Mental Health.
