Rowan-Virtua Research Day
In this project we aim to:
1. Assess the outcomes of screening, management, and diagnosis for patients at the Rowan Community Health Center (RCHC).

Hypothesis:
The quality of mental health care available to patients at the RCHC is comparable to that at other insured practices.

Conclusion: This study showed more correlations between …
