 Current projects:

Title: Developing and Evaluating the Concerned Caregivers Education for Resource Navigation (ConCERN) Intervention for
Preventing Overdose
R01CE003668
Role: Co-Principal Investigator
Pooja Lagisetty (Principal Investigator)
The goal of this R01 is to develop and test a brief mobile intervention for the friends/family of people who use drugs that will improve the quality and effectiveness of their social support, and ultimately promote engagement with evidence-based treatment and harm reduction and reduce overdose risk.
Sponsor Name: CDC

R33DA049382
Role: Co-Principal Investigator
Fares Qeadan (Co-Principal Investigator), Kamilla Venner (Co-Principal Investigator), Kevin English (Co-Investigator)
