The ATTC CoE-PPW and the ATTC Network Coordinating Office partnered to pilot the PPW Project ECHO.
Project ECHO is a model developed by the University of New Mexico to democratize medical knowledge and get best practice care to those who need it.
Multipoint videoconferencing is used to provide didactics and case-based learning to health professionals.
The PPW Project ECHO pilot aimed to: 1) develop capacity to safely and effectively treat family members impacted by substance use disorders (SUD) and to monitor outcomes, and 2) develop a model to treat complex SUD and co-occurring disorder conditions in PPW Grantee locations throughout the U.S.
The pilot was open to PPW grantees and occurred between February to September 2017. For more information, contact Senior Project Manager Sarah Knopf-Amelung at knopfsm@umkc.edu.
