Welcome to the EASI Lab!
The EASI Lab is housed in the Department of Psychology at East Tennessee State University
(ETSU). Directed by Dr. Aubrey Dueweke, the EASI Lab is dedicated to increasing access
to evidence-based mental health services through the use of innovative and nontraditional
service delivery models. One of the main service delivery models we study in the EASI
Lab is the Primary Care Behavioral Health (PCBH) model, which involves integrating
behavioral health practitioners into the primary care team. This website provides
an overview of our mission, research and service initiatives, and team members. Individuals
interested in joining the EASI Lab at the graduate, undergraduate, and post-baccalaureate
levels are encouraged to learn more by exploring the website.
