DUPRI Scholars Lynch and Dupre receive NIA award to study readmission in older adults with heart failure

DUPRI Scholars Scott Lynch and Matt Dupre  recently received an NIH/R21 award to study the social determinants of access to care and 30-day readmission in older adults with heart failure. The research builds on their earlier work, supported by an SSRI Social Science Challenge grant at Duke, examining how barriers to routine medical care lead to poor outcomes in those living with heart disease. Funded by the National Institute on Aging, the study is a collaborative effort among faculty from the Department of Sociology, Population Health Sciences, School of Nursing, and the Duke Clinical Research Institute.
