CATALYST is a leading interdisciplinary health services and implementation science research program because of efforts in the following areas:
Ann Scheck McAlearney, ScD, MS, is the Executive Director of CATALYST, Associate Dean for Health Services Research, and Distinguished Professor in the Department of Family and Community Medicine.
Dr. Sarah MacEwan, an assistant professor in the Division of General Internal Medicine, is the lead author for two new publications focusing on patient experiences and perspectives related to Long COVID. Dr. MacEwan and a team of faculty and staff members designed the qualitative studies; the first, titled "Patient Experiences Navigating Care Coordination For Long COVID: A Qualitative Study," looks at the experiences of patients as they sought care for COVID symptoms affecting their lives at three or more months after infection, while the second, titled "COVID-19 Vaccination Perspectives among Patients with Long COVID: A Qualitative Study," focuses on the varied views on vaccination among individuals with Long COVID. Both papers, supported by a grant from the National Cancer Institute, are open access and available to the public.

What are the most impactful ways of providing healthy food as part of health care to aid in addressing chronic conditions such as diabetes, obesity, and hypertension? That question will be examined in a study titled "SUSTAIN: Promoting sustained behavior change and nutrition security in Medicaid-enrolled individuals with Stage 2 Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic Syndrome," which was recently featured in a news update by The Ohio State University College of Medicine. CATALYST-affiliated Associate Professor Daniel Walker, PhD, MPH, the Vice Chair for Research in the Department of Family and Community Medicine, is one of several experts taking part in the study and is quoted in the article as he discusses the role of access to culturally appropriate food, along with other interventions, to address social needs that are non-medical but related to overall health.
At CATALYST, our faculty and staff are always hard at work on a number of projects related to team science, analytics, and systems thinking. Our research has been published in a variety of journals, and it is regularly cited in other scholarly work.
