Moser is 2005 Husted Award Winner

Lorna Moser, a doctoral candidate in clinical rehabilitation psychology at Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis, has won the American Psychological Foundation (APF) 2005 Todd E. Husted Memorial Dissertation Award. The $1,000 award recognizes outstanding dissertation research with potential to improve mental health services for those with severe mental illnesses. The award is made possible through a gift from June Husted, PhD, whose son, Todd, died as a result of severe mental illness.

For her dissertation, Moser is studying the assertive community treatment program (ACT), which is a team treatment designed to provide comprehensive, community- based psychiatric treatment, rehabilitation and support to people with serious and persistent mental illness such as schizophrenia. Moser is testing the use of coercive interventions, such as varied levels of provider assertiveness, by teams modeling the ACT program.

Moser's research interests stem from her clinical experience working as an ACT case manager and research experience working as an implementation monitor for the ACT Center of Indiana and the National Implementing Evidence-Based Practices Project, coordinated by the New Hampshire-Dartmouth Psychiatric Research Center.
