PRESENTER(S)
Mónica Pérez Jolles, PhD, MA, is a health service and implementation scientist seeking to close the health gap through team-based science. Her research focuses on bringing together scientists from various backgrounds to support Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) in their efforts to implement and evaluate complex interventions; particularly patient/family-centered and trauma-informed care. Projects include a PCORI-funded Eugene Engagement Award developing a toolkit to increase the capacity of behavioral health care providers to engage in Patient-Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR). Based on her previous work in NC, she recently completed a multi-site pilot study in Los Angeles County exploring the acceptability and feasibility of the concept of health activation among individuals who experienced homelessness and currently live in permanent supportive housing.
