Patrick Corrigan and patient partner Marilyn Aviles-Perez from the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, talk about the importance of their PCORI-funded project which compared using peer navigators from the community to usual care to improve outcomes for Latino patients with serious mental illness.

Health Conditions Health Conditions These are the broad terms we use to categorize our funded research studies; specific diseases or conditions are included within the appropriate larger category. Note: not all of our funded projects focus on a single disease or condition; some touch on multiple diseases or conditions, research methods, or broader health system interventions. Such projects won’t be listed by a primary disease/condition and so won’t appear if you use this filter tool to find them. View Glossary
