Dr. Betty Walton, Associate Research Professor, Indiana University School of Social Work, Indianapolis, conducts translational research to support behavioral health services for children, youth, and adults. Since 2010, Dr. Walton and a team have provided continuing education and technical assistance to support the implementation of the Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS) and Adult Needs and Strengths Assessment (ANSA) tools in public service systems. The technical assistance team supports the routine use of practice-based data to inform planning and to monitor progress at direct service, program, and system levels. Her research interests include co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, child mental services (access, utilization, and outcomes), system of care implementation, and continuing education. Previous experiences as a clinician and mid-level manager in community mental health centers and in state hospitals inform her research.
