The National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) awarded a $437,562 Project Grant (CFDA 93.361 - Nursing Research) to Trustees of Boston College, doing business as Boston College, to conduct a prospective, dyadic- and social determinants of health theory-informed study examining the relationship between social determinants of health, symptoms, and care contributions in people with heart failure and their care partners (Aim 1), as well as characterize how they maintain, monitor, and manage their mental health (Aim 2). The study aims to provide insight into the role of social determinants as root causes of inequities in heart failure management and inform future theoretical modifications, measurement, and interventions to promote optimal physical and mental health among heart failure dyads. The award includes a sub-grant to the University of Iowa, where Professor Harleah Buck will serve as a co-principal investigator, contributing to study oversight, implementation, and reporting.
