OUR PEERS-EMPOWERMETNT & NAVIGATION SUPPORT INTERVENTIONS
OP-ENS
Our Peers-Empowerment and Navigation Support Intervention (OP-ENS)
I have been the co-Principal Investigator of a 5-year National Institute on Disability, Independent Living and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR)-funded grant. This entailed developing, implementing, and evaluating a year-long peer health navigator intervention in Chicago, IL. The work, part of a center grant, focuses on the development of a peer health navigation intervention to help Medicaid beneficiaries with physical disabilities overcome barriers to preventative and primary care. This project is part of a center grant on health and function, which is housed at the Shirley Ryan Ability Lab (formerly The Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago), Northwestern University, and University of Illinois, Chicago campus. Dr. Susan Magasi (at UIC) is the Principal Investigator.
