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.

To meet the critical mental health challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, this research will adapt and apply the Electronic Mental Wellness Tool (EmwT) that guides providers in screening patients for any mental health and substance use disorders (MHSUDs) and triaging patients to specific evidence-based treatments according to diagnostic categories.

This project will examine the implications of modifications to service delivery within the OnTrackNY learning health care system (LHS) during and after the COVID-19 crisis.
