Our Commitment to Research
The Anxiety Lab uses a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods to develop evidence-based solutions that support the well-being and quality of life of individuals and communities affected by anxiety and related conditions, including depression and posttraumatic stress. We are committed to knowledge translation and believe that research should extend beyond academia. By sharing our findings in clear and meaningful ways, we aim to inform practice, policy, and public understanding.
