RESEARCH

Professor Baik has been involved in health services research in depression care since 1999. As Principal Investigator, she has been funded from the UC College of Nursing Dean'’s Special Research Award, the University Summer Faculty Research Fellowship Award, and, most recently, from the National Institutes of Health/National Institute of Mental Health (1 R34 MH071719-01A1) for Years 2005-2008. She is the Principal Investigator of her interdisciplinary research team that includes co-investigators from Family Medicine and Anthropology. Her recent federal funding supports her qualitative work in developing a grounded theory about depression care in primary care settings from the perspectives of providers and patients. Specifically, this NIMH grant will investigate processes by which primary care providers recognize and manage depression and contextual conditions that influence the processes. The long-term goal of her program of research focuses on designing and implementing theory-based quality improvement interventions for depression care in primary care settings. From her program of research, Professor Baik will generate implications for quality of care, clinical practice, health services research, and health policy.
