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 aims to examine the effect of COVID-19 on telerehabilitation access and the cognitive-communicative and psychosocial health outcomes for patients with aphasia.

This project will assess virtual care's impact on cardiovascular disease risk management in community health centers and the role of patient-facing clinical decision support tools during the pandemic. Specifically, it investigates how the shift to virtual care (VC) affects cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk management; the shift’s impact on existing health disparities in vulnerable populations; and whether CVD care in VC can be enhanced by the use of patient-centered clinical decision support tools.

The overall objective of the project is to test the efficacy of the community-based, “Weaving Healthy Families program (WHF)”, which aims to prevent, reduce, and postpone the secondary health effects of COVID-19, while promoting resilience and wellness (including mental health) among Native American adults and youth.

This proposed Administrative Supplement aims to increase the reach, uptake, and sustainability of our existing behavioral-health intervention to accommodate older spouses bereaved by COVID-19 who are seeking prevention and self-management strategies to manage psychiatric symptoms both during and following the pandemic.
