Clinical Addictions Research & Equity (Care) Lab

We are a research lab at the Department of Psychology at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University) led by Dr. Sarah Dermody. In the CARE Lab, we examine addiction risk from a multidisciplinary perspective—integrating psychological, behavioral, interpersonal, and biological risk factors to better understand the “how, when, why, and who” pertaining to addiction risk and risk for other negative health behaviors. Our ongoing research involves large scale national data, ecological momentary assessment research, and laboratory based experimental studies.
