The workgroup is charged with examining ways that HiTOP model informs prediction and explanation in mental health research, including the study of disorder etiology, time course, treatment engagement, impairment, and other major life outcomes.

The workgroup will keep an ongoing list of collaborative research projects. These can differ in scope and size of the author group. This list can be a way to recruit collaborators—regarding any role/task in the research process (e.g., data collection, hypothesis generation, literature review, data analysis, writing)—within the workgroup.
Current priorities are…
-Empirical studies of how psychopathology dimensions predict mental
-Health treatment course and outcome
-Empirical studies of the association between environmental stressors and narrow versus broad psychopathology dimensions.
-Narrative review of the dimensional versus categorical nature of psychopathology.
