Description
Christine E. Gould is lead author of a 2026 qualitative longitudinal study building a roadmap for virtual geriatric mental health services for rural veterans in the United States. Older rural veterans struggle to reach expert mental health care. So the Veterans Health Administration runs area telehealth hubs for them.
The researchers interviewed 25 doctors and therapists from all eight telehealth teams at three points across three years. That produced 46 interviews. Three phases emerged. The first was preimplementation, covering leader engagement, funding, hiring, and defining services. The second was scale-up, covering advertising, problem-solving, and growth. The third was sustainment. The phases looped rather than running in a straight line, with unfamiliar local resources as a barrier.
