Dr. Youngji Jo, Assistant Professor in Public Health Sciences, was awarded a K01 titled "Evaluating the Impact of Integrated and Differentiated HIV–NCD Service Delivery through Mathematical Modeling." The project develops a behavior- and systems-aware model to evaluate integrated service delivery for multimorbidity management. Drawing on the Center for Infectious Disease Research in Zambia (CIDRZ)`s large NIH-funded trial dataset (TASKPEN), the work will inform highly effective and cost-effective intervention approaches under the health-system constraints — capacity and budget — that must be addressed for integrated service delivery to scale.
This setting provides a unique, accelerated opportunity to study multimorbidity patterns, care-delivery challenges, and outcomes of integrated care models directly relevant to older adults living with HIV in the United States. With 54% of U.S. people living with HIV now aged 50 or older and an estimated 60–80% experiencing multimorbidity, this work will inform integrated care for Ryan White clinics and other safety-net systems, where strengthening chronic disease coordination is a national priority.

Public health didn’t start with modern medicine, it laid the foundation for it. From sanitation systems to early vaccination and quarantine practices, these approaches transformed population health long before hospitals advanced. These early innovations continue to shape how we prevent disease and improve outcomes today. At UConn, our MPH program builds on this legacy through research, data, and real-world application.
