The grant will fund听Project ADEPT听(Applied Diabetes Education Program using Telehealth),听which was developed by the University鈥檚 RHRI to bring information to diabetes patients on how to care for themselves and manage their condition.听Project ADEPTwill target patients in Candler, Emanuel, 颅颅颅颅颅颅颅颅颅颅颅颅颅Tattnall, and Toombs counties who may otherwise have a difficult time accessing important information on how to best manage the symptoms and possible complications of diabetes. The grant was awarded to Dr. Jacob Warren and Dr. Bryant Smalley, the co-executive directors of the RHRI.听听Warren is an epidemiologist in the Jiann-Ping Hsu College of Public Health, and Smalley is a clinical psychologist in the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences. 鈥淭his grant is a way for us to get information directly to patients who may not have access to regular transportation and who may go long periods in between doctor鈥檚 visits,鈥� said Smalley. 鈥淚f a patient has regular access to information about nutrition, exercise, and the warning signs of a complication caused by diabetes, we feel they have a much better chance of effectively managing their condition.鈥� The program, which is expected to be underway in the fall, will reach about 750 diabetes patients in a four-county area. The grant funds will be used to connect Georgia Southern鈥檚 RHRI with East Georgia Healthcare Center patients. The Southeastern Telehealth Resource Center will support the technical aspect of the program. 鈥�Project ADEPT听can be used in an individual or group setting,鈥� explained Warren. 鈥淚t can be used for one session, or to give a patient the information needed over a period of time. We are making this available in English and Spanish in an effort to make sure anyone who needs the information will have access to it. Our goal is to help the patients make long-term health behavior changes that will lead to a better quality of life.鈥� The RHRI is an interdisciplinary hub of rural health research and outreach that spans five colleges within Georgia Southern.听听For more information on the RHRI, please visit http://www.georgiasouthern.edu/RHRI.
