The objective of this module is to analyze research on mental disorders from the point of view of the interest of the research question, its clinical and social impact, the limitations of the approach made, and its diffusion. It is necessary to know how to transfer information and research results to potential users and beneficiaries in order to have immediate application. Research and clinical care for mental disorders in children and adults should have a two-way relationship, so that the results of research are applicable in clinical mental health services. However, research must also capture the needs of these services so that it can provide answers to solve them.
Critical reflection will be made on the impact and application of key topics in current mental health research by applying it directly to the student's work, taking into account the different beneficiaries (users, clinicians, caregivers, families, administrators, investors, etc.). Acquiring skills for the transfer and dissemination of research results in mental disorders will be worked on. Emphasis is placed not only on "how it is done" but also "what is the use" of clinical research on mental disorders, identifying potentially transferable outcomes and the most appropriate forms for their dissemination. It is expected that the contents of this module will help the student to: a) formulate research questions about potentially interesting mental disorders; b) generate transferable results and impact on users and beneficiaries and disseminate them with means appropriate to each context; c) identify the strengths and weaknesses of their own research; d) develop a critical spirit regarding the research developed in this field.
◊ Evidence-based practice in mental disorders.
◊ Applied research in mental disorders.
◊ Impact of research results on mental disorders: Dissemination, applications and products.
The contents of the module will be worked in a personalized way through research workshops that will allow an interactive and creative learning. The workshop thread revolves around the student's clinical research proposal, and could focus on master's degree research work. The aim is to ensure that the student’s research on mental disorders is useful and applicable to final recipients, is disseminated appropriately and has a clinical and social impact. The workshops will critically discuss how research needs arise, different ways of disseminating the results will be implemented, and the products resulting from clinical research will be designed. The module is eminently practical and related to ongoing clinical research of the student.

The evaluation will be made from the contributions of the student in the sessions, through the works corresponding to each workshop and from all the work done in the module integrated in the student folder.
It will be considered that the subject is passed when a weighted average score ≥ 5 has been obtained.
90% of face-to-face sessions must be attended
Recovery: In order for students to opt for recovery, it is necessary that:
a) You have not achieved the criteria established to pass the module.
b) It has been previously evaluated in all the activities of the module and obtained a continuous assessment rating (weighted average score) between 3.5 and 4.9. The test will have a maximum value of 2 points that will be added to the previous note. The proof of recovery must be approved, that is, obtain a minimum of 1 point, to add the score to the previous note. Recovery will be focused on all learning evidences.
A student who has given learning evidences with a weight equal to or greater than 4 points (40%) cannot record in acts as "non-evaluable".
