Dr. Zodikoff, who specializes in gerontology, geriatric mental health services, and family caregiving research, has authored or co-authored numerous peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters in professional publications. Prior to his Hartford Faculty Scholar award, he received a grant from the Mental Health Association of Nassau County to conduct a needs assessment study of geriatric mental health care services on Long Island.
