UConn Social Work Researcher Zhao Examines Telehealth for Rural Addiction Care
Original: Bridging Policy and Technology: Social Work's Zhao Explores Telehealth and Rural Substance Use Care
A UConn School of Social Work researcher, Zhao, is examining how telehealth can expand substance use treatment in rural communities, where specialty care is often scarce and travel distances are long. The work looks at how policy and technology intersect, asking what regulatory and funding changes would let remote care reach people who currently lack access to treatment.
Why now: Telehealth's role in closing rural gaps in addiction treatment is a live policy debate as pandemic-era flexibilities are reassessed.
