Research

Research utilizes existing and new initiatives to expand and iteratively develop additional components of an actionable research agenda, on topics such as telehealth utilization analysis, identification of resource availability and need, and public dissemination on telehealth resources to support children with MEDB needs in geographically dispersed and/or highly mobile situations. Research has evolved to foster collaborative efforts among colleagues based on three primary purposes:

  • Program Evaluation & Quality Improvement: A lookover of current activities, such as Project ECHO® implementation, in the DoD Child Collaboration Study and other initiatives as determined is facilitated.
  • Focused Research: Foster opportunities for collaborative prospective research and analysis of existing data on shared topics/focuses.
  • Dissemination: Facilitate information-sharing with other researchers, and work on strategies to disseminate findings to those in implementation and training. This will include leading the development of a repository of measures and tools for research with military-connected kids and families.

Activities:

  • Education, roundtable, and poster presentations
  • Scholarly publications
  • Collaborative research opportunities
