scopecontent: label: Scope and Contents
content: Series 1 consists of material documenting Garrison's research into the mental health care and population characteristics of Puerto Rican and African American communities of the South Bronx with Yeshiva University Albert Einstein College of Medicine Lincoln Hospital Mental Health Services (LHMHS). The series includes administrative files, coding cards and codebooks, community directories, data and tabulations, field notes, grant applications, lists, maps, reports, and sound recordings.

Garrison served in the Research Division at LHMHS under the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) grant, "Study of Neighborhood Centers and Mental Health Aides." Of note in this series are the lists and directories mapping the businesses and religious landscape of the South Bronx, as well as material documenting the 1968-1969 civil rights "crisis" at Lincoln Hospital.

While gathered during her time at LHMHS, some of the data in this series was processed at a later date. Material in this series relates to Garrison's doctoral dissertation, Social Networks, Social Change and Mental Health Among Migrants in a New York City Slum (Columbia University, 1971). Related material can be found in Series 2: Columbia University Bronx Research Center. Additional material related to publications made from LHMHS-gathered data can be found in Series 5: Publications, manuscripts, and associated research files.
