VA Research Wrap Up: New findings on telehealth, PTSD and wheelchair sports
The VA's Office of Research and Development has published findings on several initiatives. One program, the VA Clinical Resource Hubs, uses telehealth to provide mental health care to rural Veterans. This program has shown significant growth, with mental health care access more than doubling for rural Veterans between 2020 and 2024.
The number of participating rural sites also increased during this time. Further details on the program's success and other initiatives, including PTSD biomarkers and a rugby wheelchair design, are available from the VA's Office of Research and Development.
