One of the most serious problems in health and mental health is the science–practice gap, the divide between research literature and applied interventions. The gap is everywhere and believed to be responsible for the finding that a large proportion of clinicians do not use evidenced-based treatments. Dr. Amanda Raines, Clinical Investigator at Southeast Louisiana Veterans Health Care System and Assistant Professor at LSU, is reducing that gap with her community connections and involvement efforts. A distinguished scientist herself, she directed and promoted training programs through the Louisiana Psychological Association, connecting practitioners with research scientists from across the state, and obtained rave reviews for her efforts. Well done!
