Fuchs agrees. "The goal of this article is to encourage physicians to carefully consider the risk/benefit ratio in their decision making about prescribing practices for the new generation of antipsychotics.

Cooper's area of special interest is application of research to public health programs. He and Fuchs, along with co-investigators Gerald Hickson, M.D., professor of Pediatrics and Psychiatry; Patrick Arbogast, Ph.D., assistant professor of Preventive Medicine and Wayne Ray, Ph.D., director of the division of Pharmacologic Epidemiology, were assisted by the state's TennCare program in gathering data for the study.
