“The most common reasons Veterans seek VA addiction and mental health care is for help with opioid and alcohol misuse, depression and PTSD. Research evidence has established highly effective treatments that prevent relapse, overdose and su***de. Our NIH and VA funded research program tests participatory business engineering methods to better meet the addiction and mental health needs of Veterans, and other patient populations”

At CUNY SPH, the research is led by Dr. Terry Huang, Director of the Center for Systems and Community Design, and Dr. Denis Nash, Executive Director of the CUNY Institute for Implementation Science in Population Health. CUNY SPH faculty and staff will provide significant expertise in community health, systems science, epidemiology, and implementation/dissemination science to test the effectiveness of a systems-wide community change intervention in reversing the opioid epidemic in the 16 communities.

“The opioid epidemic is a complex, multilevel, and multifactorial problem,” said Dr. Huang. “Successfully addressing it requires the participation and coordination of public and private sector stakeholders, the development of management structure and team capacities, and the alignment of all relevant social and healthcare services in a way that is human- and community-centered.”
