Institute presentation

Fundación Vasca de Innovación e Investigación Sanitarias - BIOEF (Basque Foundation for Health Research and Innovation) is a public, non-profitable foundation created by the Health Department of the Basque Country (Spain). It is committed to the promotion of innovation and research in the Basque Health System as a continuous way of developing and improving the general health quality of the population.
BIOEF carries out its task through two Institutes: o+iker and o+berri. OIKER coordinates the clinical investigators based in public or private hospitals and primary care clinics as a consequence of a signed agreement; it is the link in between clinical investigators, University and biotechnology companies.
This project will be carried out in between BIOEF and Dr. Arantza Fernandez´s research group located at Hospital Universitario Basurto / Osakidetza (Basque Public Health Service), located at Bilbao (Spain).
The Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Unit of Hospital Universitario Basurto (HDB), provides psychiatric treatment for children and adolescents since 1980. The inpatient Unit is the only one in the province (1.300.000 inhabitants). HDB offers diagnostic and therapeutic work to children and adolescents and their families. The team is especially involved in prevention, maintaining a close contact with schools and welfare institutions, collaborating with them in training programs and in research projects. There are several specialized programs within the Unit: a Day Hospital for Eating Disorders patients, a First-Episode-of-Psychoses program including a day hospital and a therapeutic program addressing Conduct Disorders (CD) with outpatient and inpatient treatment. HDB has positioned itself as a national reference in the field of CD and DBT practice, being the first Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Unit in Spain where a Comprehensive DBT treatment is offered to CD adolescent patients and their families.
The team has been involved in research projects related to this area, such as special reports for the Basque Health Technology Assessment Agency on “Integrated intra and extra-hospital approach to conduct disorders in adolescence” and “Relation of drug abuse and psychopathology in adolescents”. Besides the partner has collaborated in projects on social cognition and psychosis (with Prof. Jim Van Os, Maastricht University) or Use of new DSM5 criteria on Personality Disorders for Adolescent population (with Prof Javier Escobar, Roberrt Wood Johnson Medical School, New Jersey).
