Study design sorts studies by their basic method, such as a controlled experiment or an observational study. Wikipedia notes that experiments "typically include controls, which are designed to minimize the effects of variables other than the single independent variable," a design choice that separates a true experiment from a simple observation. Browsing by design lets a visitor compare studies that used a similar method.

In 1965, several psychologists met to discuss the future of community mental health as well as discuss the issue of only being involved with problems of mental health instead of the community as a whole. The Swampscott Conference is considered the birthplace of community psychology.
