Addressing Health Equity and Barriers to Access to Care in Emergency Departments for mild Traumatic Brain Injury (AHEAD-mTBI)
Overview
This project will seek to characterize the patient and family experience and health disparities that exist among patients experiencing concussion (mTBI) within the pediatric ED population. It will also seek to improve the concussion (mTBI) diagnosis and management in the adult ED.

Evaluating the Roles of Alcohol and Firearms on Disparities in Homicides and Suicides in Wisconsin
Overview:
This project will seek to determine if there are differences in the victim, event, and community characteristics of homicides and suicides in which the victim had a positive Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC+) overall and at various thresholds compared to those in which the victim tested negative.鈥疘nvestigators will also examine the intersection between the victims of firearm and non-firearm homicides and suicides in relation to alcohol consumption across demographic groups.鈥

Experiences with Police Violence and Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors among Young Black Men
Overview

Co-Principal Investigators

The Role of Detoxification in Preventing or Contributing to Opioid Overdose
This project will seek to understand how detoxification (detox) is used for people with opioid use disorder in Wisconsin and explore geographic variability, referral source, and patient-level characteristics associated with receiving detox. Through key informant interviews, investigators will also seek to gain greater understanding of the drivers of inappropriate use of detox for opioid use disorder. Finally, the project will develop a multi-level, de-implementation strategy for inappropriate use of detox with the goal of replacing it with more effective treatment for opioid use disorder.
