Collaborative Specialty Care
for Gulf War Syndrome
Gulf War Veterans (GWVs) with Gulf War Illness (GWI) do not receive the care they should in the Veterans Affairs (VA). The investigators' data show 70% of GWVs with Gulf War Illness (GWI) do not receive treatment recommendations for their GWI and 78% are NOT very satisfied with their care. The quality of care GWVs receive must improve. VA and DoD have invested hundreds of millions of dollars to develop new treatments for GWVs, without effective delivery methods GWVs will not benefit. This study will be the first study to examine the best model of care to deliver treatments to GWVs with GWI. Determining the best model of care to translate research into practice is a key goal of the VA Gulf War Strategic Plan and a specific aim of this Request for Applications.

Clinician Training Program
for Long COVID
The evidence-based Concordant Care approach involves engaging in processes that: 1) validate the patient's experience, 2) develop a shared understanding of the condition, and 3) create a patient-centered, whole health-oriented action plan to manage the condition. This is consistent with published expert opinion that Concordant Care underlies patients' (and clinicians') positive experiences of care for poorly understood conditions. Despite strong evidence supporting this care approach, there are no interventions to train clinicians on practices to provide Concordant Care for Veterans with poorly understood conditions such as Long-COVID. Part 1 of the study will optimize and test if a Concordant Care training improves VA clinicians' engagement in recommended practices to provide Concordant Care (i.e., validate, shared understanding, action plan) for Veterans with Long-COVID. This study will adapt and refine Concordant Care training for Long-COVID. Part 2 of this study will determine if Concordant Care training increases clinicians' engagement in recommended practices to provide Concordant Care and will explore the effectiveness of Concordant Care on care outcomes including satisfaction, adherence to care, \& disability for Veterans with Long-COVID. Veterans treated by clinicians receiving Concordant Care training will report their clinician more frequently engaged in recommended conversations (i.e., ask about Long-COVID, validate experience with Long-COVID, create a shared understanding and action plan), and Veterans will perceive greater shared understanding of Long-COVID with their clinicians than Veterans treated by clinicians in the control arm.
