DAI, Jia Hong (David)
I am passionate about improving psychiatric care for underserved communities through the exploration of patient narratives and by developing more effective psychotherapy interventions. My interests include psychotherapy and cultural psychiatry research using both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. I will be starting subspecialty training in child-adolescent psychiatry in July 2025.
My current CSP project with Dr. Tim Guimond focuses on how adverse childhood experiences and trauma impact sexualized methamphetamine use and psychosis among men who have sex with men; our group is currently creating a novel psychotherapy intervention for methamphetamine use. I am also in the process of developing a new qualitative research project that examines explanatory models of psychosis among newcomer youth.
