###    Medicaid Value Based Payment Models and Healthcare Equity for Adults with Serious Mental Illnesses  expand\_more  

Project Number: [5R01MH122199-04](https://reporter.nih.gov/search/jPDRvvHUDUS15bkC63cc0w/project-details/10550136)  
Name of PD/PI: Cook, Benjamin  
02/2020-11/2024

This project will assess the impact of value-based payment models on the equity of care for racial/ethnic minority Medicaid beneficiaries with severe mental illness in Oregon and in New York state.  
Access (via new outpatient visit rates and time to second visit), quality (via the Medicaid Adult Core Set), effectiveness (via medication discontinuation rates, readmission rates, and mortality rates), and costs of health care will be examined to identify racial/ethnic differences.

 

 



###    Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Patients with and Without Alzheimer’s Disease Related Dementias  expand\_more  

Project Number:[ 5U01AG076478-03](https://reporter.nih.gov/search/wrGYnXV7xEy57ww3aUvBJQ/project-details/10683255)  
Name of PD/PI: Hsu, John  
09/2021-05/2026

To assess and refine study variable definitions given data collected during the pandemic; to examine the impact of changes in outpatient care on clinical event rates, e.g., emergency department and hospitalization rates; and to examine the impact of changes in inpatient care on mortality.

 

 



###    Use of Telemedicine in the Treatment of Mental Illness  expand\_more  

Project Number: [2R01MH112829-07](https://reporter.nih.gov/search/4YKr0enPPEiDSHTbWkIlJQ/project-details/10442011)  
Name of PD/PI: Mehrotra, Ateev/Huskamp, Haiden  
04/2022-01/2026

In this renewal, we will study the period after the public health emergency ends to assess how different state laws and regulations influence the use of telemental health, whether increased use of telemental health has increased access for disadvantaged minorities and rural patients, how telemental health is being used in care, and whether its use is associated with improved quality of care. Telemedicine for the treatment of mental illness (or “telemental health”) is one way to improve access to mental health care for those who need it. Use of telemental health dramatically increased during the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

 



###    Center to Improve System Performance for Substance Use Disorder Treatment  expand\_more  

Project Number: [2P30DA035772-06](https://reporter.nih.gov/search/aP-ktH8sbUOlpnNgVmrkaw/project-details/10891513)  
Name of PD/PI: Reif, Sharon/Huskamp, Haiden  
09/2022-07/2027

This Center renewal will conduct and extend research on SUD service delivery and payment methods to synergistically expand the research base, serving as a national resource to inform policy and practice decisions that will profoundly affect the cost, quality, and availability of SUD treatment services.

 

 



###    Telehealth in the Treatment of Alcohol Use Disorders: Impact on Access, Disparities, and Quality of Care  expand\_more  

Project Number: [1R01AA030539](https://reporter.nih.gov/search/jqmnTc6PQkawLdPoLgd1Pg/project-details/10562519)  
Name of PD/PI: Huskamp, Haiden/Busch, Alisa  
05/2023-04/2027

Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a major cause of illness, disability, and death, and there are longstanding challenges in barriers to and disparities in care. This mixed-methods study will examine how telehealth is being incorporated into AUD treatment and whether its use is associated with improved patient outcomes and equity.

 

 



###    Traumatic Brain Injury Anti-Seizure Prophylaxis in the Medicare Program  expand\_more  

[1R01AG082693-01](https://reporter.nih.gov/search/QF_weQR0jE-7X4gU703s5w/project-details/10715238)  
Name of PD/PI: Moura, Lidia  
09/2023-05/2028

This application proposes to assess the use of anti-seizure medications after traumatic brain injury (TBI) among Medicare beneficiaries aged 65 and older. Using linked administrative claims data, the aims are to 1) improve classification algorithms for identifying the incidence and severity of TBI using data adaptive algorithms; 2) examine the impact of anti-seizure medications on 6-month adverse events; and 3) examine heterogeneity in access and prophylaxis effects to quantify variation in drug choices or therapy choices (e.g., duration) attributed to geography, insurance factors (e.g., income-based subsidy level), and social factors (e.g., race/ethnicity).

 

 



###    Telemedicine for Treatment of Opioid Use Disorder  expand\_more  

Project Number: [R01DA048533](https://reporter.nih.gov/search/dzt6J17oH0m_s8GSysViLA/project-details/10983574)  
Name of PD/PI: Huskamp, Haiden / Mehrotra, Ateev  
07/2024-06/2028

Many people with opioid use disorder have great difficulty accessing treatment, and telemedicine for opioid use disorder (“tele-OUD”) is one potential solution. The federal government, states, and health plans have implemented new policies to encourage greater tele-OUD use. In this renewal, we seek to address several key scientific questions on the changing role of tele-OUD and how tele-OUD can help to address the rising death toll from OUD.
