The goal of this study is to evaluate the biomedical effects of these RPM interventions, and to gain insights into barriers and facilitators to implementation and adoption of the programs. Our results will inform efforts to ensure that patients in community health centers can benefit from digital RPM interventions and will lay the foundation for large-scale implementation of such interventions. 

For people from the rural America with chronic diseases, the pandemic can not only worsen pain, but also it can trigger anxiety, depression, trouble sleeping, and substance use. One way doctors and health systems are reaching out is by video visits, where patients and their providers communicate online via the Internet.

This project is focused on understanding the magnitude of COVID’s spillover effects on cerebrovascular disease in rural areas, as well as the impact of key mitigation strategies.

This project will use the National Neighborhood Data Archive (NaNDA) to identify which communities are most vulnerable to the immediate and longer-term consequences of the pandemic for a host of behavioral, psychological, social, and economic outcomes.

This study tests the efficacy of a telehealth-enhanced, RN-Community Health Worker delivered dyad intervention, ICINGS FAM, on quality of life, and health-related outcomes in vulnerable African American adults with pre-existing chronic illness and their informal care partners.

This project extends existing congregate meal programming infrastructure and partnerships with Older Adults Technology Services (OATS) to provide a sustainable approach focused on older adult health.

This research will examine how significant disruptions to children’s health, education and overall well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic created lasting influence on health, development and social trajectories, and the risk for long-term health outcomes.

This project will use qualitative interviews to understand the following information about youth experiencing homelessness (YEH): their knowledge of and adherence to Covid-19 transmission reduction strategies, their mental health symptoms, their rates of having Covid-19 antibodies, and the relation between positive antibodies and adherence to Covid-19 transmission reduction strategies, mental health symptoms, and housing.

The objective of this study is to determine whether community service use for those with social needs improves general and COVID-related health outcomes, and whether random assignment to intensive follow-up and collaborative goal setting helps overcome barriers to community service use.
