Current Clinical Trials
MAPrc translates basic and clinical research conducted on site and from research published in peer reviewed journals to inform clinical trials of potential new treatments and interventions that are likely to make a real difference to individuals experiencing mental illness. Our clinical trials are conducted with participants in front of mind, where they are treated as collaborators not subjects. Over the last 30 years, our clinical trials have yielded results that have directly influenced clinical practice by doctors and clinicians working with women experiencing mental illness.
