NIMHD continues to celebrate its 10th anniversary virtually. On Thursday, Oct. 8, Dr. Ricardo F. Muñoz will present at the NIMHD Director’s Seminar Series. The title of his talk is “On the Potential of Massive Open Online Interventions and Digital Apothecaries to Reduce Health Disparities Worldwide.” 

Muñoz is a professor emeritus at the University of California, San Francisco, and a distinguished professor of clinical psychology at Palo Alto University. He has been a pioneer in research on internet interventions since the 1990s, conducting worldwide randomized controlled trials in Spanish and English on smoking cessation and, more recently, on depression. 

Muñoz founded i4Health, an institute dedicated to developing, evaluating and disseminating evidence-based psychological interventions in multiple languages.
