CCCR Speaker Series: Mental Health Phenotyping in Osteoarthritis

Mental Health Phenotyping in Osteoarthritis: From Concept to Implementation

Join the UNC School of Medicine Thurston Arthritis Research Center for a UNC Core Center for Clinical Research (CCCR) Speaker Series seminar featuring Trevor Lentz, PT, PhD, MPH. Lentz is an Assistant Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery, Duke University School of Medicine. He is also affiliated with Duke Clinical Research Institute, Duke-Margolis Center for Health Policy, Duke Surgical Center for Outcomes Research and Equity in Surgery.

Mental health needs can have a significant impact on treatment outcomes for osteoarthritis. Clinical phenotyping has strong potential to inform the development of tailored treatment pathways that address common mental health needs. In this presentation, Lentz will describe a line of work focused on using routinely-administered screening tools to identify mental health phenotypes among people with osteoarthritis. He will then discuss challenges and opportunities associated with implementing phenotype-specific treatment pathways in a comprehensive osteoarthritis management program at Duke University.
