Impactful Research Findings
HIV Medication Adherence: Dr. Ownby's research demonstrated improved medication adherence in HIV patients through electronically delivered health literacy interventions. This groundbreaking study was published in Neurobehavioral HIV Medicine in 2012.
Cognitive Training for HIV Patients: A novel approach using a car racing game for cognitive training, combined with transcranial direct current stimulation, showed promise in enhancing cognitive function and mood in HIV patients with mild neurocognitive disorder.
Post-COVID Complications Study: Recent research on Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC) revealed high levels of fatigue, negative mood, and cognitive problems in affected individuals, highlighting the long-term impact of COVID-19.
