Research Studies
NEAS is the primary partner in two national research studies designed to examine EAP-specific
approaches to short-term intervention with employees. These are:
| |
Work and Health Initiative: |
| |
|
NEAS is collaborating with Tufts University in exploring the efficacy of telephonic short-term
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address depression and its impact in the workplace. If the treatment model proves effective, it will provide an evidence-based approach
to treating mild to moderately depressed employees within an EAP format. |
| |
| |
Healthy Lifestyles Project (HeLP): |
| |
|
HeLP is a partnership between NEAS and RTI (Research Triangle Institute) that examines EAP-based intervention
with so-called "risky drinkers," rather than alcoholics per se. If the intervention model proves successful,
it will be broadly applicable within and beyond the EAP field. Because risky drinkers constitute the largest
population of actual or potential abusers of alcohol, an intervention model for this group holds significant
potential for addressing the impact of "problem drinkers" in the workplace. |
