The Office of Research & Scholarship is pleased to host guest speaker Dr. Alida Bouris, associate professor at the University of Chicago Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice, as she presents “Nothing Beats One-on-One Therapy with an Actual Therapist”: Contextual Determinants of a System-Wide Failure to Adopt an Evidence-Based, e-Health Intervention for People Living with HIV and Depression on Monday, April 13, 2026, noon – 1:15 p.m.
Dr. Bouris’ research is broadly focused on the relationship between social context and health, with a particular emphasis on understanding how social inequality, social networks, and social support shape the health and well-being of historically excluded and marginalized youth and adult populations. The overall goal of her research agenda is to develop effective and sustainable interventions that can address existing inequities in mental health, HIV/AIDS, and substance abuse. Dr. Bouris has published extensively in the field of adolescent health and HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment. Her research has been funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, and the Ford Foundation.
Hybrid attendance will be offered; we encourage you to attend in person in HSSW 113 or by Webex.
