Models of Osteoporosis Screening in Male Veterans aims to test 1 distinct care model of primary osteoporosis screening in men within the VA healthcare setting. All care models deliver VA recommended osteoporosis screening and treatment to high-risk Veterans by appropriate Durham VA clinical staff. The MOPS project will evaluate patient, provider and facility outcomes to determine the effectiveness of each intervention.
