Study: Telehealth outcomes positive for behavioral health services in Detroit area
Print
A multi-agency study on the use of telehealth services for behavioral healthcare in Wayne County found widespread support for continued and expanded use of virtual care, according to a newly released report. Functioning and symptoms improved somewhat during the implementation indicating the telehealth was capable of sustaining consumers even during the pandemic, according to the conclusion of the study conducted by consultant Brian Dates. Both program staff and consumers who participated in the study generally rated the transition positively. Many consumers suggested that the option of continued access to telehealth be extended, even after the pandemic has subsided, the report said.
Detroit Mayoral candidate Anthony Adams on Friday touted a crime reduction strategy that would bolster community intervention to stem violence and hopelessness.
Adams provided an overview of his crime plan before an audience of about a dozen residents and supporters in the parking lot of a gas station on the city s east side. We re dealing with issues of hopelessness in our community, Adams said. Until we begin to understand that we cannot deal with crime without addressing underlying issues of poverty, we will continuously be in a cycle of high crime rates, high poverty and high hopelessness.
