Emerita Satiro Opaleye

I’ve been collaborating with a different number of projects as a researcher from UNIFESP, including: 1) the Brazilian cross sectional survey investigating the use of drugs among students, 2) a national program of training staff from public services (health, social welfare and justice) to deal with people with substance use disorders and 3) a current elaboration of the official national report on drug use. Lately, as a founding member of the Center of Research and Training in MBRP (MBRP Brasil), I’ve become more interested in mindfulness research on adaptation, evaluation and implementation of MBRP in Brazil. Nowadays I am fully engaged in all activities from the MBRP Brasil, including the teacher training.
