Rapid assessment of immediate and potential long-term implications of changing telehealth regulations for substance use treatment in the context of COVID-19<\/h1>\n

What is this study about?<\/h2>\n

The goals of this one-year project are to use rapid assessment, response and evaluation<\/strong> (RARE) methods to document online care delivery program barriers and facilitators as well as to provide local communities with information about local equity, acceptability and feasibility of potential telehealth and mHealth interventions during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a national discussion about whether to make the guideline changes for medication-assisted treatment (MAT) implemented during COVID-19 permanent,\u201d said\u00a0Emery Eaves<\/strong>, associate professor in NAU\u2019s Department of Anthropology<\/a>. \u201cOur project is very important because it will enable us to study how the guideline changes have actually been experienced by people in treatment and treatment providers.\u201d<\/p>\n
