MOOD AND ANXIETY DISORDERS
RESEARCH GROUP |
Dr. Cox is a clinical research
psychologist in the Department of Psychiatry where he holds the rank of
Professor. Dr. Cox is also a Professor in Clinical Psychology in the
Department of Psychology at the University of Manitoba and is
able to directly accept and supervise new MA and PhD clinical psychology
students into the program. He is an author on more than 160 articles
published in peer- reviewed Journals as well as several book chapters.
Dr. Cox's research interests lie
in the area of anxiety and personality disorders, along with depression, all
from a population mental health perspective.
Examples of recent findings from his Mood and Anxiety Disorder Research
Group lab are below. A strategy that Dr.
Cox has successfully employed is to collaborate with leading population health
researchers such as Dr. Bridget Grant at NIMH, and to gain access to large
nationally representative datasets such as the National Comorbidity Survey
(NCS) and its Replication (NCS-R), the National Epidemiological Survey on
Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC), and the Canadian Community Health
Survey (CCHS).
Researchers and students interested
in working with Dr. Cox may contact him via email: coxbj@cc.umanitoba.ca.
Funding
Dr. Cox also recently held a
Canada Research Chair in Mood and Anxiety Disorders from the Federal Government
of Canada (2001-2011). He is currently
funded by SSHRC.
Current and Recent
Students
Dr. Cox frequently uses an
apprenticeship model in his training and supervision of students, whereby they enter
the research team early in their honours year and continue to pursue their MA
and PhD work with him.
