The Sahker Lab

We are located in the Population Health and Policy Research Unit, Center for Medical Education and Internationalization, Graduate School of Medicine at Kyoto University in Kyoto, Japan.

​

Our research investigates the substance use treatment pathway (access, success, and recovery). We conduct clinical epidemiology studies of addiction treatment to discover factors supporting successful treatment outcomes with consideration of health disparities and recovery capital. Currently, we are focused on clinical epidemiology and policy studies, depression treatment studies, and improving access by advancing evidence-based brief intervention technologies in primary care.

​

Our lab is also focused on positive network-oriented mentorship in research. We are always looking for students who want to participate in conducting research.
