- Dr. Draine is a mental health services researcher associated with the Center for Mental Health Policy and Services Research.
- He studies the intersection of mental illness with the criminal justice system. Integrating a public health perspective with research on criminal justice processes, he examines how policy and practice impact community inclusion of people with mental illness who come in contact with the law.
- He is currently undertaking an NIMH funded study of Critical Time Intervention (CTI) for men with mental illness moving out of New Jersey Prisons and into Camden. CTI demonstrated effectiveness for people leaving large homeless shelters and moving into community settings. This is among the first tests of CTI for people leaving prison.
- Dr. Draine’s emerging projects include examinations of police decisions and police-based intervention regarding people with mental illness in Chicago and Philadelphia and reentry services for people leaving jail with HIV.
