This study enrolls pregnant and postpartum women into a multi-wave study to assess medical, economic, psychosocial and substance use risk across pregnancy and the perinatal period, studying associations of these factors to infant neurobehavioral development during the first year of…

This project will examine how information sources on COVID-19 and the larger context of the pandemic influence older adults’ perceptions of scientific research and AD, adherence to recommended COVID-19 prevention behaviors, and whether these perceptions vary by racial/ethnic group.

This project will build on an existing national pregnancy cohort study of women with a wide range of underlying health conditions to address COVID-19 symptoms, testing and antibody status, as well as the behaviors of participants during the pandemic.

The overarching goals of the project are to (1) document impacts of relaxed restrictions for telemedicine and mHealth; and (2) assess implementation of MAT “take-homes” for people in substance use disorder treatment in rural, underserved, and minority communities in Arizona in the…

This project will determine the optimal treatment intensity for children with language impairment (LI), provided via telepractice platforms, and will investigate the moderating influence of the home environment on children’s outcomes.
