Co-Presenter
Biography
Dr. Cara C. Lewis is an Associate Investigator of the Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute and affiliate faculty in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Washington.
A leader in implementation science research, Dr Lewis has two NIMH-funded R01s focused on leveraging measurement to improve mental health services in community-based settings. The first is a multi-site implementation trial to compare the effectiveness of standardised versus tailored approaches to implementing measurement based care for depression. The second research project aims to develop new measures of implementation outcomes in hopes of revealing tools that are psychometrically strong and pragmatic. Dr Lewis’ work will contribute a repository of quantitative measures for scientists and practitioners to integrate into their implementation efforts.
Dr Lewis is also a licensed clinical psychologist and Beck Scholar. She is an affiliate assistant professor at the University of Washington and Indiana University.
