This award funds the development and pilot testing of a culturally adapted cognitive rehabilitation and cognitive behavioral therapy intervention for ethnoculturally diverse patients suffering from post-COVID-19 cognitive impairment and depression, aiming to improve treatment outcomes for Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Description
The project aims to develop a disease-specific, culturally sensitive intervention integrating cognitive rehabilitation and cognitive behavior therapy to improve post-COVID-19 cognitive impairment (CI) and depression in ethnoculturally diverse patients with Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC). The study will test the preliminary impact of this intervention through a pilot randomized controlled trial. The findings will provide proof-of-concept for an integrated, evidence-based approach to treating common symptoms of PASC and improve outcomes for a diverse patient population.
