RESUMO
This study describes Veterans Affairs providers' perceived knowledge gaps for addressing COVID-19 concerns among Veterans generally and specifically among Veterans with a history of military exposures. A needs assessment was conducted through an online survey of 2,818 medical and behavioral health care providers. Results highlight the importance of ongoing education, even in topics for which providers endorsed adequate knowledge (eg, handwashing). Results also accentuated the need for educating providers about effectively communicating with patients regarding concerning medical topics when scientific data is scarce. Implications are discussed.
