Dr. Matthew (Matt) Keough completed his PhD in clinical psychology at Concordia University, which included a psychological residency at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health. Currently, he is Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology and Director of the Centre for Research on Addiction Vulnerability in Early Life (CRAVE Lab) at York University.

Dr. Keough’s research program explores two key areas:

1. Identifying risk factors for addiction in early life (before the age of 30) using lab-based and longitudinal studies, and
2. Improving psychological treatments for concurrent disorders with a focus on creating integrated, accessible, and engaging treatment options.

Presently, Dr. Keough is running several large-scale randomized controlled trials testing novel online treatments for concurrent disorders. He has published numerous articles in the field of addiction studies and has presented extensively at major national and international conferences.
