Under the mentorship of Dr. David Adler at Tufts Medical Center, and with the guidance of industry expert, Dr. Debra Lerner, I spent this summer conducting a market analysis of clinical depression intervention services in the workplace. This study presents a comprehensive market analysis of behavioral healthcare services within occupational settings, with a focus on addressing the workforce's burden of depression and mitigating associated economic losses. Additionally, it provides essential market insights for the strategic implementation of Be Well at Workâan innovative counselor training and leasing service that offers a highly effective methodology for improving the mental health and productivity of employees with depression.
I am a third-year student at Tufts University studying Community Health and Biology with a Minor in Urban Studies. In my first year as a Laidlaw Scholar, I worked with Dr. David Adler and Dr. Debra Lerner at Tufts Medical Center on a market analysis of clinical depression intervention services for employees.
My research projects have mostly focused on improving health access and resources for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This interest comes from my experiences as working a Direct Support Professional and teaching art classes for individuals with Down syndrome. In addition to researching behavioral health services and the neuroscience of Fragile X syndrome, I enjoy being an active community member and started a political engagement orientation program for first-year students at Tufts. My recreational interests include rock climbing and creating visual art (see some of my artwork here: schung.page).
