Carolyn M. Mazure in 2023

Carolyn M. Mazure is an American psychologist and the Norma Weinberg Spungen and Joan Lebson Bildner Professor of Psychiatry and Psychology at the Yale School of Medicine.[1] She created and directs Women’s Health Research at Yale — Yale’s interdisciplinary research center on health and gender.[2]

Research

Her research contributions have focused on depression, the single greatest cause of disability for women in the U.S. and globally, including the sex-and-gender-specific relationship of stress to depression and co-occurring addictive behaviors such as smoking, and opioid use and misuse. Current research targets the intersection of biological and social factors affecting the health of women, gender-specific strategies for promoting resilience, and health policies that serve to advance economic stability for women.[3]

Professional service

After three years at the National Institutes of Health and fellowship training at Yale, Mazure joined the Yale faculty — becoming an active clinician and NIH-funded researcher. She was the Director of Psychiatry’s Adult Inpatient Program at Yale-New Haven Hospital, and has held a variety of other leadership roles, including Associate Dean for Faculty at Yale School of Medicine, Scientific Director of NIH-funded SCOR(E) interdisciplinary research grants, and PI of NIH-funded junior faculty training grants.

Mazure served on the planning committee for the First White House Conference on Mental Health, was a fellow for the United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, chaired the American Psychological Association’s Summit on Women and Depression,[4] and has provided testimony to the United States Senate and House of Representatives on the importance of women’s health research.[5] She previously served on the Advisory Committee for the NIH Office for Research on Women’s Health.

In 2023, Mazure was appointed Chair of the White House Initiative on Women's Health Research, which aims to fundamentally change how the nation approaches and funds women's health research.[6]

Honors and recognition

Mazure has been an invited speaker at diverse venues ranging from NASA and the Smithsonian Institution to the International Psychogeriatric Association Meetings in Stockholm, Sweden. She has been a featured expert on ABC’s Prime Time Live and in the BBC documentary The Science of Stress. Her books include Does Stress Cause Psychiatric Illness? and Understanding Depression in Women: Applying Empirical Research to Practice and Policy. Among Mazure's many accomplishments and accolades include:
