Bruce Chorpita

Bruce Chorpita is Professor of Psychology at UCLA, specializing in evidence-based practice technologies for child and adolescent mental health. His research develops modular treatment designs, measurement feedback systems, and knowledge management frameworks that have doubled clinical improvement rates in systems like Hawaii's Child and Adolescent Mental Health Division.

Chorpita's Child FIRST lab innovations include the Distillation and Matching Model for treatment components, the Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale (translated into 25+ languages), and coordinated knowledge systems integrating research into clinical decision-making. His randomized trials demonstrate superior outcomes for modular approaches over standard protocols in community settings.
