This is great work and with the pandemic - this will sadly become an even larger population that will need care and attention. I look forward to seeing more about this in the future.
I appreciate you commenting on my poster. I am hopeful this work will open up the door to more accessible mental health services.
Very effective attractive poster on an important project. An important piece of background or next steps would be to assess the validity of PEH self-report of the likelihood to use and effectiveness of virtual mental health services. Difficult patients with difficult problems are difficult to treat. Other reports at this NAPCRG meeting report difficulties in making headway with telemedicine and new technologies. Thanks for sharing your work here at NAPCRG. - Bill Phillips
Thank you so much for your feedback. Since gathering this survey information it has been used in driving a collaboration between the family medicine department and the psychiatry department at MUSC to serve this population in Charleston. I think you bring up a really important point that can be studied and included in future presentations on this research.
Thank you for this incredible work. During the COVID pandemic, we've been working with homeless shelters on vaccination efforts. It's really clear the mental health issues there as well. This is good work on an important topic
