Therefore, this Stress and COVID-19 (S&C) Study is designed to understand how COVID-19 is affecting substance use (SU) and mental health (MH) across different racial/ethnic communities.

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 life.

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 wake of COVID-19.

This project will enhance the ACHESS smartphone app with new COVID-19 related features and then examine how patients use ACHESS features, how organizations refer patients to the ACHESS, how they interact with patients in ACHESS, and the overall impact of the ACHESS features.

The goal of this study is to leverage large comprehensive claims and electronic health data, capturing nearly half of the U.S. population from before the pandemic through 2026, to test our hypothesis that social and economic vulnerabilities, as well as economic side effects of the pandemic will escalate the prevalence of OUD and related harms.

The goal of this study is to leverage, expand upon, and link existing national data sets to test the hypothesis that county-level public health and social policies have affected disparities in mental health and healthcare utilization.
