University of Verona Department of Medicine and Public Health Section of Psychiatry and Clinical Psychology WHO Collaborating Centre for Research and Training in Mental Health and Service Evaluation Head: Professor Michele Tansella The WHO Collaborating Centre in Verona is located in a recently refurbished building, within the University General Hospital of Verona (Policlinico G.B. Rossi, Piazzale L.A. Scuro 10, 37134 Verona, Italy). It was designated by WHO as Collaborating Centre for Research and Training in Mental Health on 23 February 1987. According to WHO regulations the designation lasts for four years and may be continued, with periodic reviews by WHO of the scientific performance of the Centre. The designation was confirmed in 1992. In September 1996 the Centre was re-designated as a WHO Collaborating Centre for Research and Training in Mental Health and Service Evaluation and since then this designation was further confirmed in 2001 and 2005. The main research activities, carried out by the five Research Units of the Centre, focus on epidemiological and social psychiatry (including economics and geography of mental health studies), genetics and neuroimaging of schizophrenic and bipolar disorders, clinical psychopharmacology, communication in medicine and evaluation of mental health services. The staff (more than 50 persons) includes psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, computer scientists, physicists, geographers and social scientists, statisticians, technicians and secretaries.
