Our preliminary work suggests that reducing primary care workers' stigma against persons with mental illness may improve accurate detection of mental illness. We developed a version of mhGAP training that includes a stigma reduction component: “Reducing Stigma among Healthcare Providers” (RESHAPE).

The overarching goal of this study is to improve our understanding of resilience processes related to the economic, social, and personal impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and their downstream mental health outcomes in National Guard soldiers.

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.

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 project will adapt and test the efficacy of the Family Check-Up Online as a treatment to foster resilient family functioning in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

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.
