So proud to see CBITs well represented at this year’s Implementation Research Institute (IRI)! Special shoutout to our Co-Director Dr. Andrea Graham (@andreakgraham), who is pictured among other NU leaders advancing the field of implementation science. You're all AMAZING👏🥳

Virtual solutions for depression and anxiety can improve outcomes and access to care, but some tools come with high costs, finds @Peterson_HTI. Insights will guide payers and providers in adopting high-impact, low-cost solutions to meet patient needs. phti.org/assessment/vir…
