As the Chair of Forensic-Correctional Psychiatry, Dr. Andrew Olagunju’s research objectives include conducting studies to extend scientific knowledge of contemporary approaches and to test the effectiveness of innovative interventions in forensic-correctional psychiatry systems.
The group is leading projects to evaluate and improve treatment models, risk assessment tools, and rehabilitative strategies for individuals in the criminal justice system. An important emphasis of their work is to generate evidence to inform action plans, advocate to address disparities in care, and close mental health treatment gaps for special and underserved populations.
