Stand Down App + Peer Support
for Alcoholism
Hazardous drinking is common among Veteran primary care patients and increases risk for more costly and complex medical problems over the long-term. Yet, the vast majority of these Veterans go untreated. By providing an option for care that is easily accessible, private, and self-directed, mobile applications (apps) circumvent many barriers to alcohol use treatment. However, poor patient engagement remains the Achilles' heel of these apps. Through supportive accountability, Peer Specialists can maximize the reach and engagement of these apps with patients and improve drinking outcomes. The goal of this project is to evaluate whether an app for alcohol use self-management ("Stand Down") reduces drinking among Veteran primary care patients who engage in hazardous drinking, and for whom Peer-Supported-Stand Down is more effective than the app alone. If successful, the proposed research has the potential to transform care and increase access to alcohol-related services for Veterans who engage in hazardous drinking but rarely seek treatment, and, in turn, mitigate the adverse health outcomes that stem from untreated hazardous drinking.

Whole Health Coaching
for Homeless Veterans' Healthcare Needs
Use of acute care services (e.g., hospitalizations, Emergency Department visits) contributes substantially to the cost of healthcare for Veterans. Homelessness is a robust social determinant of super utilization of acute care. The goal of this project is to test if Peer Specialists trained in Whole Health Coaching can reduce homeless Veterans' frequent use of acute care.
