The Clinical Core is the operational hub of the Center. It is integral to collecting the data necessary for satisfying centerwide aims as well as the specific aims of each research module. The Clinical Core also conducts the psychiatric diagnostic evaluations of all members of the nuclear family (N= 775 families) consisting of the proband father, his spouse, and has biological and stepchildren. Step-parents are also diagnostically evaluated. In addition, this Core performs medical and dental examinations of the children and administers the research protocols to each family member, including collection of biological specimens (blood, saliva, skin, urine) for timely distribution to various laboratories. The Clinical Core ensures compliance with the University of Pittsburgh IRB, HIPPA, and NIH regulations. While primarily responsible for operational support of the Center's scientific activities, faculty in this Core are also integrally involved in empirical research. Accordingly, recent publications have focused on diverse topics, including the role of orodental health on SUD development, suicidality, sexual behavior and STD's, mortality, and health and psychiatric comorbidity.

临床中心是中心的运营中心。收集满足整个中心目标以及每个研究模块的具体目标所需的数据是不可或缺的。临床核心还对核心家庭（N= 775个家庭）的所有成员进行精神病诊断评估，包括先证父亲、他的配偶以及亲生子女和继子女。继父母也要进行诊断性评估。此外，该中心对儿童进行医疗和牙科检查，并对每个家庭成员执行研究规程，包括收集生物标本（血液、唾液、皮肤、尿液），以便及时分发到各个实验室。临床核心确保符合匹兹堡大学IRB，
