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).
2. Compare the outcomes of screening, management, and diagnosis between different groups (gender, race, income, insurance status) using validated surveys.
3. There is a need for accessible and affordable primary care in the South Jersey area, which the RCHC is hoping to meet.
Hypothesis:
The quality of mental health care available to patients at the RCHC is comparable to that at other insured practices.
